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.

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.

Bonjour!
I’ve been in France for a few days and this morning I passed this well-known spot on my way somewhere else. I can resist anything except temptation, so…

Taken with my phone.
I reckon that with the sun a few degrees to the right so that the shadows are aligned you could make a good go at mimicking the original reflections with shadows, if someone jumped in front of the traffic.

Great stuff. I particularly like the night shots at the beginning and
the market scenes. Make me realise how much I miss France.
Thanks for sharing.

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.

Looks like you had much better weather than we had here. 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.
