Here’s a ‘best of’ gallery from the trip. I spent a night in Paris, cycled to Meaux along the canal de l’Ourq, spent a few days sightseeing in Meaux, then returned to Paris along the banks of the Marne and through the Bois de Vincennes. Another night and a morning in Paris, then home. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0f3ZQyL6nMDfUDDIJWky0iaDw The photos were all done on my iPhone. After the event, and having seen people on the banks of the Marne picnicking like it was 1936, it occurred to me that with a Pentax I could have taken some fun HCB-clone shots for the forthcoming PUG. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/285110 B > > Bob W PDML wrote: > >> Bonjour! >> >> I’ve been in France for a few days and this morning I passed this well-known spot on my way somewhere else.

Thank you. The market there is very enjoyable in a good 19th century metal halle, but also spreading in the square and onto the bridge. There’s a Russian cannonball lodged in the wall of one the buildings from when the Russkies were chasing Napoleon. > On 5 Mar 2025, at 10:30, Ralf R Radermacher <pdml@uebra.de> wrote: > > Am 05.03.25 um 11:06 schrieb Bob W PDML: >> Here’s a ‘best of’ gallery from the trip. > > Great stuff.

Nice to see a good crop of mistletoe on the trees.

What a great gallery!  I realised my comment about your first one you showed us just went to you.. (that buggy "reply" thing in Thunderbird)  and then I didn't realise you sent a link to the full gallery until I saw some comment that indicated there was a second link.. You certainly had a few that had they been Pentax-taken would do ... and incidentally, my submission for the fun PUG was taken in Paris.  Some of you will have seen it before. ann On 3/5/2025 5:06 AM, Bob W PDML wrote: > Here’s a ‘best of’ gallery from the trip.
