I'm currently attending the
Webdeuxconnect conference, a French event for geeks like me! and since I'm locked in for two days I cannot take my daily photos. So here is one from my stock. I took it last month
when I took this photo and I thought the sky was really stunning. On the right, you can see the Louvre.
OMG you took a picture of Mona Lisalynn's home. Love my new name. Btw, this picture is almost showing the Richileu entrance which is the secret way to get in and not stand in a long line ......to see me.
ReplyDelete"Mona Lisalynn's home" LOOOOOOOOOL
DeleteGreat vista! And always good to see Mona Lisa's home :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved your Luxor photo, as well as the wonderful Henri Martin sign. Have fun memories about playing Monopoly (US version). I'd love to see the gameboard for the Parisian version!
What's the city in the US Monopoly BTW?

DeleteIn the US version of Monopoly the city is Boardwalk which is blue
Just saw you on Jill Bennett 's facebook
ReplyDeleteLove your Paris Daily's
anni
awesome! I love these colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat sky, isn't it?
DeleteLove this perspective! Also, I second the Monopoly comment…I think I'll give the french versions as Christmas gifts!
ReplyDeleteLOL I should ask Hasbro (the current owner of Monopoly) for a commission ;-))
DeleteThis one is epically beautiful, Eric!! I love it. Thank-you!!! I copied it to my sister who has been to Paris several times. Blessings always, C-Marie
ReplyDeleteMerci C-Marie ;-)
DeleteNow me, I don't care about ML (not you Lynn). My favorite painting in the whole museum appeared on the cover of a Scientific American (a lay journal that pulled no scientific-language punches) when I was about 10 or 12. It is called An Old Man and His Grandson by Domenico Ghirlandao. The man has growths on his face but the child looks at him with such love. The cover was for a story about diseases depicted in paintings. You can see the painting here: . It was with the great joy of finding an old friend that I discovered it on my first visit to the Louvre, sitting quietly on the wall in that enormous great hall, while visitors streamed by.

DeleteInteresting. I had never seen this painting before; stunning light and details (too many?!)
DeleteA stunning shot. The sky and the museum compliment each other ideally.
ReplyDeleteMerci William.
DeleteAnother shot of neutrals with tiny pops of color (the tricolor, the awnings)—simply stunning. And did you and Ralph invent polltogo? Quelle idée géniale!
ReplyDeleteWe did Alexa!
DeleteThe picture is fabulous and taken from an unusual height. You are gifted for the beauty and you proove it all the time !
ReplyDeleteNothing more to say than congratulations to Eric, including for the web2connect !!
