Memory Lanes

Pictures of everyday life, travels or locations. Now living in one of the most beautiful regions of France, part of it is the Gard department, I will post shots of this place where time seems to have stopped. For each photo, a caption in English will be posted too. Just double-click on an image to get a bigger shot. Many thanks to my friend Scott for giving me such an intense yet fleeting insight into precious moments of life captured on a still image.

Beautiful mock-up for the coming of Jesus with 3D effect. The street in the background is actually the one that leads to the Santa Maria church.

Wooden statue with hundreds of wrapped-up notes in the first church built in Rome: Santa Maria in Trastevere.

Going back to the car I spotted this funny old-fashioned advert.

The ice will not melt today.

Busker in the old town on a freezing Sunday morning.

The kids were certainly not impressed with the new design of the Place Stanislas.

Some streets really have funny names.

Early morning intense sunlight over Nancy.

I went to Nancy this morning and was glad to see that for once our tram seems to be working...

Saint Nicolas, at last...

The nasty butcher of the legend and the infamous "Père Fouettard". Children beware!

Now the party is in full swing.

...and saxophone.

Tambourine...

Grilled chestnuts before the parade starts.

Another shopwindow with local delicacies.

Art Nouveau shopwindow in the city.

The cathedral façade is devoted to Saint Nicolas, a Holy Man who saved children from a nasty butcher...

Saint-Nicolas-de-Port and its cathedral which contains relics of Saint Nicolas.

This really was the place to be this weekend.
