TRAVEL THROUGH TIME

Summer is quickly coming to a close. Children are in many cases back to school. Labor Day is a week away. The age old ritual of asking what you did last summer is here.

Here is what I did last summer:

I know Key West Race Week is almost over and I have not uttered a word about it. I am so immersed is the wonders of the world, race week just does not seem as appealing. I will always have a love of boats, yacht design, construction, but.

There is no end of the shapes and sights in Paris or any of the other places I have seen over the last weeks.

I am absolutely looking forward to the transatlantic race this summer from Newport to England.

 

 

I had other photographs I wanted to share, however something is going on with my wordpress site. It randomly times out or refuses me entry.paris 1 22 15  60931 - Version 2paris 1 22 15  60920 - Version 2PARIS 2paris 1 22 15  61020 - Version 2paris 1 22 15  61028 - Version 2legionparis 1 22 15  61017

ICONIC PARIS

Certain images evoke larger concepts or thoughts; here  are some images that for some of us are those of parisien life.

Paris was, long before Charlie Hebdo on high alert. Apart from the immediate aftermath, things seems to be as they were.  The only noticeable change was the closing of the tower at the Sacre Coeur.

We have been in the African, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu neighborhoods of Paris. We clearly stood out. There was no other particular tension.

The greatest stir was the fact that I had a camera and the drug dealers were not pleased about that.  That however is true everywhere all the time.

While it was Lord Nelson who is credited with the words: ” Keep calm and carry on”. It is the French people today after the events of yesterday.

In the light of these events it is hard to stay excited about the volvo ocean race, the america’s cup, or the bcn. Lord knows sailing has been my mistress for half a century now, but the world seems so overwhelming some days.musee dupuytren 1 7 15  56436 musee cluny 1 7 15  56610
