Technically this photo should not appear on PDP as I did not take it inside Paris, but in a very close suburb called Aubervilliers... At the turn of the 20th century, this small city became a heaven for industries and workers from all over the country. The plants are now long time gone, but the big industrial buildings still remain. A lot of them have been redone and turned into cinema studios, convention centers, concert halls... Some of them have a real cool shape, like this one I photographed today, while the sun was shining over Paris.

Happy Christmas Eric!!!! It's us, in duplicate. Can you cope? We're better than industrial buildings any day! :)
ReplyDeleteVery graphic shot, Eric -- nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat were you doing in Aubervilliers, I wonder?
Eek I'm here on my own. This wasn't meant to happen. LOL. We like to see outside Paris too though Eric.
ReplyDeleteAaaah, and it's Lynn, by a nanosecond!
ReplyDeleteAnd as you see, you are not on your own -- Eric's OTHER biggest fan is here with you.
ReplyDeleteBut now you are, Lynn, as I am off to see the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular (complete with high-kicking Rockettes) with some relatives who are here from (way) out of town. I'm guessing I'll be the only native New Yorker in the place. Sorry, shouldn't be such a snob -- it'll probably be a lot of fun, actually.
ReplyDeleteEric, you can find a great photo to take anywhere!
Wow! Thanks for bringing something new into PDP Eric!
ReplyDeleteGood work on GF twinnie!
ReplyDeletelol have a great time, Alexa!
ReplyDeletehe he HI Twinnie! See Eric? There's two of us wishing you Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIs this an up and coming area, then, Eric, are these buildings being turned into apartments too?
ReplyDeleteOhhh Twin Suzy, I reckon he's gone to bed and missed his double visit.
That's all right, Lynn, I'm starting to think we are Fruit Loops and don't need him to agree!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he will agree! Monica will think it's a giggle. She wants to do it too, so that's three fruit loops ...er...whatever they are. lol.
ReplyDeleteTwo things I like: nice neon and a nice wall!
ReplyDeleteWow, I thought I'd clicked on Pasadena Daily Photo -- this looks like one of the amazing photos Petrea takes in Southern California! I SO love this photo; the colors, the fonts, the brick, the blue sky. I don't care if it's in a Paris suburb -- works for me!
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to find your lovely blog... . I shall return!
ReplyDeleteJudith de Santa Fe
Katie, you beat me to it. I thought it looked very California, too!!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Michael,
ReplyDeleteI just went over to yesterday's comments and you were the last one.....and it was a PDP poem. You are the best!!
yes katie and phx-cdg, i had the same thought exactly...is this california? and i was also referring to the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteWithout reading the little intro, I would have thought this building was 40 to 50'ish rather than turn of the century, but of course, it's really hard to tell ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you decided to break the rule a little. Change is good.
You know, if it gets really cold in Paris, maybe you could take the subway? (We haven't had a subway pic in a long, long time ;)
It's a very graphic solid image. I see the St Trinians twins are mis behaving yet again.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are punchy. I agree with Tomate, a subway photo would be an excellent idea. I can't remember the last one...hmmm? Glad to see the sun has come out to play a while. Have a great weekend! Lynn congrats on GF! It was about time. Nice Christmasy profile photo too. What's in that eggnog? lol
ReplyDeleteI like the strong colours and lines as well Eric. So Aubervilliers, eh? Must have been another web convention to bring you there!
ReplyDeleteTomate, I think Eric was referring to the industrial area versus the building when he said, "...turn of the century." I agree, the building looks more 30's-40's-50's. Where's our architectural expert?
Glad you saw the poem PHX. Wouldn't want to think that all that creativity was lost on you. ;-)
Sun shining in Paris??? What?? You have got to be kidding us!! I never heard of such a thing, at least when I have been there. Maybe I'll get lucky next visit!
ReplyDeleteNice "non Paris" looking photo but it's a fun change of pace.

lol Coltrane - the eggnog is a secret recipe - and for good reason as you see!
ReplyDeleteYes we're scooting around in St. Trinian's style again Babooshka. Will we be sent to the Head I wonder? Oooh.
Michael I saw your poem too and was tempted to continue, but it was the end of the day. Are you up for it today? What do you say? Nay or yay?
My crown by the way has St. Trinian's gymslips hanging from it and a rather stylish industrial building hanging down the back. lol.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that these art deco places are being preserved and recycled in their use rather than just pulled down!
ReplyDeleteSuburbs is welcome! In French we call the cities around Paris "la petite ceinture" and the cities a little bit more far "la grande ceinture". They're actually almost part of Paris.
ReplyDeleteIt's a third neon light photo in one week Eric, I don't know if you noticed it.
Very pop art, totally 50's!! Very James Rosenquist.
I agree with Katie and PHX, we're more in the States than in France.
Il y a un belle photo! www.electionweb.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYes, I too thought it looked Californian, could have been the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk...
ReplyDeleteHave been viewing your photos daily ((imagine that!)) as a link on my blog roll, but never realized the community surrounding the site, just uncovered the entire daily photo phenomenon and it’s very exciting. I plan on joining from the San Francisco Bay Area..... until I make it back to Paris bien sur. I normally write what I call snapshots of life, but I’m up for the challenge of doing daily snapshots the old-fashioned way, with a camera.
Brilliant idea you had with the site!!
chantal
Hmm, I wonder if GoogleMaps has street view photos of these buildings. This does appear very mid-20th century. I'll use the tried (trite ?) and true academic conclusion: more research is necessary.
ReplyDeleteBonjour tout le monde, et bienvenue Mlle. photo booth. We're all bozos on this bus, but you are responsible for buying your own red nose.
Enchanté.. thx for the tip i’ll try to dress accordingly
ReplyDeletelol Jeff!
ReplyDeleteWelcome photo booth!
Jeff - try Mappy, too, it has photos from the front - though it might just be residential, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteFroot Loop Lynn - congratulations on the GF. Oh,....now I get what's in your profile pic - its a gymslip - and a very festive one, if I may say so!!
Guille - thanks for the ceinture infobits - I never knew that.
Michael - love the doggerel - you and Lynn can continue any time you like!!
Welcome from me, too, photo booth!
