Well it has been Forty Days since I got home from Paris, and all of this time I have been key wording the 29,684 photos that we took during our April 2014 trip! I have also finally narrowed down the images that I want to seriously look at to print for our up coming showing at Mug Shots, on the brick walls, during the whole month of July.  That narrowed down list now has 399 images in it and I have a date with the printer this Friday the 13th to go over what and how I want the final show images printed. Back to the salt mines as they say!

Our reception has been set for July 9th 5-7pm, 2014 at Mug Shots, 2040 Montgomery St, Oroville, CA 95965. Please join us if you can.

Here are a couple of images that we are thinking of printing!

Paris Day 11 – Statue of Liberty

Tags

2014, Allee des Cyges Island, April, Beautiful views of the left and right banks, lovely long strolling alley, Paris, Pont de Bir-Hakeim, Pont de Grenelle, Pont Rouelle, Replique de la Statue de la Liberte, Statue de la Liberte, Statue of Liberty

There are two different ways to physically get to the Statue of Liberty, or Replique de la Statue de la Liberte. You can take a river cruise and go by the iconic figure but to stand at her feet there you need to take the Pont de Grenelle which is the closest bridge to get there or the longer and more scenic way is to start at the Pont de Bir-Hakeim and walk the long man made Allee des Cyges Island. Beautiful views of the left and right banks of the Seine and a lovely long strolling alley that makes for a very quiet and peaceful walk.

Paris Day 10 – Walk from Trocadero to Pont de Bir-Hakeim

Tags

2014, Allee des Cyges Island, April, Eiffel Tower, front door, La France Renaissante, Last Tango in Paris, Merry-Go-Round, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Paris, Pont de Bir-Hakeim, remote helicopter, Replique de la Statue de la Liberte, Statue of Liberty, Trocadero

One of the things we like to find in Paris is where movies have been shot on location, so we can say, “We’ve been there”. This walk will take us to the front door of the apartment used in the movie Last Tango in Paris and to the spot on the bridge in the movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets where they fly a remote helicopter to see what is written on the Statue of Liberty at the end of the Allee des Cyges Island, actually the correct term is Replique de la Statue de la Liberte. Fun stuff huh? Oh yeah, there are great views of the Eiffel Tower from here too!

Leaving the Trocadero area looking back up the side of it is a robust group at the Merry-Go-Round!

Looking back up river, nice walking path separated for bikes and foot traffic!

Great view of the Eiffel.

The Pont de Bir-Hakeim is the only bridge in Paris that carries both cars and Metro! The statue is La France Renaissante an equestrian statue!

At last, the door and apartment that are in the opening scenes of the Last Tango in Paris!

The Pont de Bir-Hakeim!

Interesting views of the Eiffel can be had here!

Just wanted to see if you were still awake?

Pano taken with iPhone, look closely at the cars, an Apple trademark of screwing up your photos of things too close and moving in the Pano option! Click to see larger image!

And this is where they were standing in the movie, National Treasure: Book of Secrets to see the Lady!

La France Renaissante and the Eiffel!
