Not that bad weather after all!


OK, maybe I exaggerated a bit when I said the weather is awful yesterday. I was just assuming from the weather forecast sites that it would be. And it is not! I took this photo right by the Pont Saint Michel (the one that precisely starts at the Place Saint Michel), a bridge that was first built in 1378 then reconstructed several times since then (the latest "version" was built in 1857). Sorry not much else to add, I'm sick as hell and all I can think of now is... going to bed (I should never leave Paris LOL!).

  8. Je suis desolee tu es malade. Traveling can do that, especially the airplanes. It happens to me often.

    This is a great photo. I saved it. I am 'Paris sick'. (A play on homesick.)

  14. "Paris sick." Jeff, I think you've coined a new phrase. It's exactly what I feel when I look at Eric's pictures, and I've been feeling it for almost six years now!

  15. Ou, peut-etre, "Paris malade"? Or even mush the two languages into "Paris malady" in order to rhyme.

  18. @Marylène "Turista ou too much tea ????"

    Too much sun, too much food and... far too much olive tree pollen that I'm apparently (that's a discovery) allergic too. I'm much better now actually, nothing like the clean air of Paris!!

    @Jeff. "Paris sick" I like that. I'll keep it!

  19. This photo is exquisite - the lights - the texture of the Seine. Magnifique!
    I hope your sickness is gone quickly.

  20. Allergies OMG. I think the pollen has gotten to my brain.

  21. It's a little comforting to read that I'm not the only one feeling 'Paris sick'.
    My family calls it 'Paris obsessed' or (Désolé pour ma langue) 'Paris Horny'.
    I'm lucky to live in The Netherlands, so Paris is 'only' a six houre drive for me.

  22. I think you deserve a medal for taking a photo "above and beyond the call of duty"

    Hope you feel better soon.
