Back to old Europe!
Thursday, October 30, 2008 Posted by Eric
Everything comes to an end and even if I had a wonderful time in the US, it's now time to go back to my hometown. If everything goes well, I'll be in the plane to Paris when you see this photo! It shows the horse of the main Hermès shop at rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré. I just like the angle of this photo and the shadows it makes on the gray sky. Of all the French brands, I think Hermès is my favorite one: it's expensive but the quality is really there and the good taste too (now I talk like my mother!!!)

Oh Eric, we all talk like Mom eventually. Love this shot of one of my fave stores. Safe home!
October 30, 2008 12:21:00 AM GMT+01:00
Okay, Eric's on a plane, but where is everyone else?
October 30, 2008 12:38:00 AM GMT+01:00
Here, Alexa, here! Congrats! You should add a Hermès scarf to the crown.
Welcome Home Eric! I'll be at the airport with some flags when you'll arrive. (Okay, I won't, don't be too disappointed.)
I think I've never seen this statue before, or maybe it's because of the point of view and the colors. Great colors btw. And I like the effect with the big diagonal.
Nite nite.

he he Guille I like that image!
That sky is really interesting, Eric. The silhouette is marvellous.
Eric - we all turn into our parents eventually, it seems to me. :l
October 30, 2008 12:51:00 AM GMT+01:00
An audible moan of pleasure came from my mouth when I opened up this photo, Eric. Wonderful!
I guess you could say it was good for me.
October 30, 2008 1:04:00 AM GMT+01:00
And you were shocked at my yesterday comment Suzy? LOL !! he he how graphic an image you painted for us all. Giggle. What a naughty couple of girls we are here tonight. Eric will tell us off and send us to the back of the comments box. ...Hmm...:)
October 30, 2008 1:07:00 AM GMT+01:00
I bet Guille comes back in in a sec and admonishes us. She has a tendency to keep order around here, despite her young age. Sssshh! she's coming!
October 30, 2008 1:10:00 AM GMT+01:00
As I look at this picture, all I can think of is, "Time marches on and falls into oblivion."
Alexa~~~~You deserve that GF crown, congratulations.
October 30, 2008 1:25:00 AM GMT+01:00
Lynn, did you just say, "Sssshh! she's coming!"?
October 30, 2008 1:48:00 AM GMT+01:00
Eric, we would all do well to quote our mothers. My girls have forgotten that apparently. Whatever, nice silhouette against that cloudy sky. Glad you had fun here in the USA! Come back to see us, ya heah????
October 30, 2008 2:10:00 AM GMT+01:00
And I thought it was some serious memorial or something — Hermès! ;D
But it is a lovely shot! The clouds on the left look almost neon.
Safe trip!

Well Eric...I will have to agree with you about Hermes; and the photo is almost magical as well! I don't really consider myself a very materialistic person but my favorite possession is an Hermes watch that I have had for 20 years. It is simple but beautifully styled and I always get compliments on it, and what man wouldn't want to wear an Hermes tie?
I have been up north talking to the California Redwood trees for a much deserved break while you have been visiting the city of my birth[Boston, MA]...now I'm catching up with all the PDP photos of the last week and they all look great! I especially like the Gnomes, Le Zinc, and of course Les Invalides...and all those happy PDPers at the dinner in NYC!!! Parfait!! ;-)
October 30, 2008 3:02:00 AM GMT+01:00
Bella!! Awww the wonderful Hermes flagship store. What a beautiful statue&silhouette. I like the black/white image against the blue sky.
Nice point of view Eric:)
and
welcome home!!
How was your trip to the USA?
I hope it was wonderful.
October 30, 2008 3:43:00 AM GMT+01:00
Image is superb the backlight and the sihouette, but I am disappointed to see Lynn has not made any lewd comments tonight.
October 30, 2008 4:58:00 AM GMT+01:00
That is a lovely photo. I love the color of the sky. So pretty.
October 30, 2008 5:05:00 AM GMT+01:00
Love the angle of this photo, too! Safe trip back to the French shores, Eric. Glad you enjoyed your stay in the US. Aussi, merci to all for sharing the NYC experience with us. (I missed out on all the fun activity yesterday...work don't ya know.)
Alexa...ciao bella GF! :-)

The Horseman in the Sky...
"it's expensive but the quality is really there and the good taste too (now I talk like ly mother!!!)"
Don't you hate when you start sounding like your mother? Don't you hate it more that she was always right?
October 30, 2008 6:07:00 AM GMT+01:00
Speaking of which, how do you pronounce 'Hermes' in French? Is it 'Ay-May' because H is silent or just 'Aim'?
October 30, 2008 6:23:00 AM GMT+01:00
that photo remembers me Napoleon Bonaparte
October 30, 2008 8:40:00 AM GMT+01:00
Dr. Carter,
Je vous pardonne jamais, jamais.

Photolicious, Hermes is kinda "Air-mess" in French.
I mean pronounciation, of course not more ;-)
Eric, I'm with you, I love this statue, and I love the shop below and everything in... Unfortunately, most of it is just a dream for me ;-(
October 30, 2008 10:16:00 AM GMT+01:00
UsElaine...erm..
Babooshka, yep sorry, been a bit busy on Eric.
October 30, 2008 11:10:00 AM GMT+01:00
I love the sky! It looks as though Paris is at the moment - cold, cold, cold. Yes, it is necessary to say it thrice. I love the silhouette too - excellent photo.
I hope you're sleeping like a baby now that you're back in Paris. :)
October 30, 2008 11:44:00 AM GMT+01:00
LOL - Nathalie and I once had quite a discussion about a similar statue above what was the Hermes shop in Sydney, to the point of wondering if it was Napoleon....one of the local radio stations eventually checked it out and put our minds at ease.
Says something about both of us that we weren't entirely (at all!) au fait with hermes symbolism!
October 30, 2008 2:40:00 PM GMT+01:00
I love the division of the building and clouds by the horseman. Love from The Prairie. xoxo.
October 30, 2008 5:12:00 PM GMT+01:00
Babooshka
Lynn's comments are not lewd! They are saucy :)
And did everyone know that our wonderful Babooshka's blog was named on Blogs of Note?
Eric
Welcome back to Europe :)

Eric showed this same statue a while ago 16 août 2007...just lovely isn't it?
October 30, 2008 5:27:00 PM GMT+01:00
Lynn - I am not shocked by too much when it comes to...you know what. A subtle bit of uninhibited-ness can be very good for the metabolism.
Tonton flaneur - did you get to Henry Cowell State Park? I'm interested to know what you thought of the hollow tree that used to be rented out for honeymooning.
Hendrawan Riau - I thought of Napoleon, too.
Eric - I hope you had a safe trip home!
October 30, 2008 6:03:00 PM GMT+01:00
I agree with you, lovely silhouette and sky!
October 30, 2008 6:14:00 PM GMT+01:00
Lynn,"She has a tendency to keep order around here, despite her young age"
Girls, BEHAVE! :)
October 30, 2008 10:02:00 PM GMT+01:00
Ohhh - sharp intake of breath - Guille's here! he he ok then. We'll behave. In a saucy manner he he!
Babooshka well done!
A hollow tree rented out for honeymoon, Suzy? Good heavens, even my mind can't get itself round that one! Phew.
October 30, 2008 10:59:00 PM GMT+01:00
The tree is rather large, Lynn, as I'm sure you can imagine. I lasted for about half a second inside, even with a flashlight. Too dark and creepy for me!
Yes, congrats to Babooska! Your photos are wonderful.

> Alexa "Oh Eric, we all talk like Mom eventually" LOL!
> Guille "Welcome Home Eric! I'll be at the airport with some flags when you'll arrive." I looked everywhere, I could not find you!
> Virginia "Eric, we would all do well to quote our mothers. My girls have forgotten that apparently." It'll come. It took me almost 50 years LOL!
> Tonton "and what man wouldn't want to wear an Hermes tie?" I agree ;)
> Cristy "How was your trip to the USA?" Perfect, as always."
> Coltrane ". Aussi, merci to all for sharing the NYC experience with us." You're welcome or "T'es le bienvenu" like they say in Quebec ;)
> Thib "Unfortunately, most of it is just a dream for me ;-(" Come on Thib, you're gonna make me cry. It's the crisis, I know, but...
> Mme Benaut "I hope you're sleeping like a baby now that you're back in Paris. :)" Oh yes, I'm so tired!!
> Sally "Says something about both of us that we weren't entirely (at all!) au fait with hermes symbolism!" LOL. I don't know about you for sure, but I don't think Nathalie is much of a Hermès girl !"
> Rose "And did everyone know that our wonderful Babooshka's blog was named on Blogs of Note? " No, I did not. And is it thanks to you again??
October 30, 2008 11:33:00 PM GMT+01:00
You're home, Eric...mwah! x
October 31, 2008 12:00:00 AM GMT+01:00
Welcome back home, Eric!
But please don't cry, or I'll cry with you ;-)
I reckon I have a number of Hermes ties, and I love their "Terre" fragrance!
But visiting their shop IS a real dream... So many marvellous things...
October 31, 2008 12:55:00 AM GMT+01:00
Seems the trip was short, Eric. Welcome home.
October 31, 2008 9:26:00 AM GMT+01:00
Eric
This time wasn't me...
October 31, 2008 1:59:00 PM GMT+01:00
Your mother must be a wonderful woman to have such a friendly Parisian son as you! We thank you for your commitment to the PDP and all of us appreciate it. You'll have to tell her that we are grateful.
Welcome back to Paris, Eric!
