Wind blows on colorful scarfs in the market

At marché Saint Pierre, at the bottom of Butte Montmartre, I went out to take some vendors with my new digital camera. I discovered that it can take also small videos, and also capture the movement. The wind begun to blow on these colourful scarfs on display.

Bed made in Tunisia, Closed passage in Granada

One of my first pictures published on Flickr, hotel service at Djerba motels in Tunisia, one of the firsts I like a lot. A huge surprise they prepared my night gown, I used it also today! so nicely. And the surprise that my friend, old nice lady I went with, is so small. I did not realize till I looked at this picture. 

We went and come back still friends, it was in Granada that our friendship ended. I could not keep up with her lot higher pension, and her spending, and she refused to "lower" the way she wanted to eat. At the return, a sudden snow in Madrid, our change of plain, completed our misunderstandings, our values were too different.

My prefered picture from Granada 

But Tunisia remains, even Granada... a great memory! Click on Granada to see 100 pictures, but I have taken a lot more there! December and beautiful weather.

London phone boots in rain, near Opera

Covent Garden, near it is the Opera House. And of course, near Opera a statue of a ballerina. This statue fascinated me and went well with the unused (other then taking photos outside it) old red telephone boots. 

It begun to rain: that made the image even more fascinating. At least for me. The Red Telephone boots where also reflected on the ground, and the statue shined.

New pictures

Some of my favorite pictures are old, others from the day before. 

Just now, I feel I have to show this one, even if no one comes to look any more of my picture blog. I will have to spend time, to posting it to different places, other then my usual.

Palermo market

I used to travel once a year, when the season offered the cheapest rates, for 5 to 7 days. Because I took lots of pictures, and showed them mostly after home, after playing a lot with them, many believe I travel a lot!

So once, from Paris still, I decided to go to a place I feared most: Palermo, the Mafia's centre. A tiny hotel centre town, not far from the market or even University, or sea. All was different then I thought, to photographer girls showed me around, each one Sunday, and gave me advices. The restaurants were expensive for me, so I did buy in bakeries and in the market, great interesting food.

First evening, I arrived, there was an anti mafia manifestation, lots of young and a few politicians in a square not far. Lots of people smiled and let me take photo of them. 

I also went up north in very old town with a bus, and down south to visit a small town near the sea, with a great view traveling with train. But after so many pictures, in Sicily, this is my favorite one: the pears that were arranged like soldiers. 

Kids : first Halloween in Argenteuil

We were not used to kids coming for sweets Halloween time, but here I found in 2005 a bunch of kids who come from other countries running on the street. I did have some bonbons home, and wanted to take some pictures of them. They were happy to pose, after I spoke to them.

This is my preferred kid between them and his preferred expression.

Is it the same? It depends

Some do look only at one of them, the was or the projection of it on the wall.
