I've commented on some photos here and there, and this one again compelled me to comment. It is such a great shot. Very beautiful. I'll be heading to Paris next week, and will be looking forward to seeing the clock with my own eyes. It's been about 13 years since I was last there, so I am very excited.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05415634770137866141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-86399461901969458362009-06-03T21:16:53.881+02:002009-06-03T21:16:53.881+02:00Petrea...beautifully expressed sentiments and I ag...Petrea...beautifully expressed sentiments and I agree wholeheartedly. <br /><br />Alexa...you were born to wear a crown. <br /><br />Jeff...too funny, so would you "quit being late already!"<br /><br />Eric...whenever I think Gare de Lyon and the 12th arr, my mind is quick to conjure up images of the painters, poets, philosophers, and wordsmiths etc of the late 19th century and their "Mardistes" (Tuesday eve intellectual gatherings where philosophy, art, poetry, writing... would be discussed by your Mallarme types). I would like to imagine that les Mardistes are still holding court somewhere in Paris. ;-) Perhaps a Parisian could elaborate on this. <br /><br />Oh oui, this clockface. Well, let's say that Hitchcock would be Dialing "M" for artistic "Memories", not murder, pour cette visage d'horloge.

They really think we aren't real, just strangers who bomb in and out and never to be seen again. One said to me "so why do you bother? Does it earn you MONEY?" "No..." I said. "So WHY?" they asked. I felt like saying does seeing your friends at the pub every Friday and getting off your face earn YOU money? but... I didn't... They just don't get it.

Most of my non-blogging family and friends think I'm half nuts when I talk about my "friends" from PDP and the rest of the blogging community—like I'm talking about characters who don't quite exist in the real world.<br />I too care very much for all of you.

I have many wonderful memories of the gare and also the famous restaurant there, "Le Train Bleu", which was one of the first restaurants I ever had a meal at as a young man in Paris..many, many years ago. I always try to return there when I am in Paris and especially if I can take a guest who might be visiting for the first time. The shot of the clock is so poignant and in a way quite romantic.
