Spoiler
The afternoon started cloudy





Trachycarpus





Another one. I think the grandma thought I was photographing her house.





Stalingrad square







I like these houses





Heading north. Maybe that's why this church tower kinda resembles a Flemish belfry?





More palms





Where the 2005 French riots started









On the other side of the hill





Sign says "offices to rent". Obviously, they're not succesful.





New social housing. Wonder how it'll look like in 2040.





Maybe like this?





Nearest transit station





Steep street





Doesn't look like social housing





Pedestrians took over the street

It's like when your thirsty you drink and feel revived but you force your self to keep drinking and drinking and drinking.. You'll feel bloated and like crap. Maybe not the best analogy. lol
Btw, some of my mom's plants are really happy. Her hostas are huge. Maybe I'll post a photo of her garden.

Nice photos of Paris, you take them on a bicycle.

There's a building off the LIRR tracks, about 20 minutes before Penn Station, that had a big sign: "if you rented here, you'd be at work already!" Old six-story warehouse. Not successful, sign has been there for over a decade. Decayed look probably didn't help, some windows were out.

Why is it that there is always a Peugeot in French pictures? Every single time.

Went to visit my Dad in New Rochelle NY on the coast... This is a little inlet off the Long Island Sound. I grew up playing here all the time. This area got flooded with a few NorEasters and Hurricanes.. I used to come down here and film storms in the 90s.

Across the way is called 5 Island Park. Need a pass to get in there. View of NYC, the Bridges to Long island, and of course Long island.

In 10 minutes the dock went from mud to half foot of water.

Quick tide came in! I don't think I ever realized how quick it came in.



10 minutes later the ducks were coming in with the tide.

I wonder how big are tides there. Looks like the big Fundy-like tides are north of Cape Cod, but world maps aren't precise enough.

Clever advertising. I would rent there if I had a business.




Btw, I traveled a lot today.

Check out this timelapse video I took during Tropical Storm Irene in that spot. Notice the 2nd day the water never went back out. I've seen the deck get totally flooded in some NorEasters. I think Irene didn't hit during High tide

Watch in 1080HD
