where we left off
sunset, pont neuf
the oldest stone bridge in paris
the construction — notre dame’s fire is repaired
while they are there, they are strengthening
for the next five hundred years
the fog continued
notice that moon
it will stay with me at least through instanbul
i use it for bearings at night
the island in the seine where i stayed
detail, notre dam
the local cafe, a block from my apartment
no tourists here
imagine a cafe …
on a bridge, over the seine …
… with the eiffel tower
in the distance
this was my final stop every night, at midnight
from the left bank
the modern city of paris
in the distance
here the seine was almost an amsterdam canal …
the booksellers of the left bank
how whole days are spent on the left bank
from blue to yellow, dusk to street
Sainte-Chapelle was finished in 1248 AD …
… recent compared to what will come next …
jardin du luxembourg
with the eiffel tower in the distance, left
notre dame, midnight, on my way home
Arènes de Lutèce, an ancient Roman amphitheatre
the oldest structure in Paris
built first century AD
when Paris was called Lutetia
One millennia before Sainte Chapelle, a few photos before
