Today I did it, it was very powerful, and I’m still thinking of it

Back in March this year there was a little “buzz” in the metro about these posters. It was written about here at a time when there was still no explanation for what the posters were advertising. There is even a French word to describe this: “teasing”. I still have no idea what product/concept/brand the posters were promoting, but I suspect it was for something really boring like insurance or a bank.

Paris - up and down the avenue

I have a distinct feeling of déja fait, but anyway here are two photographs taken looking up and down the Champs Elyssée, in Paris.

Paris underground

Another photograph that I took back in March this year, in a tunnel under Place de l’Etoile, near the photograph I posted yesterday.

Paris overground

Another photo of a vélib station, near Place de l’Etoile in Paris, taken in March this year. The sticker on the pillar in the foreground states that “this is Paris, not Algeria”, and is provided by Project Apache.

Goodbye Paris

I’m getting onto this red beast called Thalys to go to Brussels for the weekend (and to meet a client on Monday and Tuesday next week). It’s been a wonderful Spring day in Paris today; most enjoyable, even if I spent the day in a meeting.

La Grande Arche

Lit up against the dark night sky like an artificial spaceship in a low-budget movie.

La Mise en Seine

The river looks a bit greasy and grey (like the Limpopo, allegedly).

Crossing the Seine, and feeling completely sane, we ate lunch at les fous de l’ille on I’lle Saint-Louis with the other “crazies”.
