DES NOUVELLES DU MONDE - NEWS FROM THE WORLD

Monochrome Monday # 22



Le métro aérien quitte la station Glacière. Les usagers endormis passent devant le Monde, indifférents.

Elevated railroad leaves Glacière station(Ice Box). Sleeping subway users go past the Monde (World), indifferent.
Ils mettent pourtant leur confiance en ces mondes ailés qui les soutiennent de chapiteau en chapiteau.

And yet, they trust in these winged worlds that keep them afloat from one capital to the next one.

Visit Aileni at Monochrome Maniacs to discover other different B&W and Monochrome worlds.

The Press Scoop for today was that 14 years ago, my loved son Olivier was born.

Happy Birthday, Olivier

  11. Happy Birthday Olivier!

    Cynthia over at Muse Swings wrote me to say that she keeps on getting error messages whenever she tries to comment! You have commented on hers for PFF but for some strange reason a comment back isn't working for her:)

    I have been one sick girl the past few day...The flu knock me over and punched me in the stomach a few times! It was nice to finally be able to visit your blog again:)

    I love the french word for a day feature, we are coming to France in September, a great way to learn some words.

  15. Many of the overground underground metro stations have recently been renovated! I think they are very nice! Now, to live just in front of an overground metro is perhaps not always so nice. It was of course a much cheaper solution to go overground where it was possible. For some reason :-), it seemed to be easier in the eastern than in the western part of Paris (same issue with the perepherique)!

    ... and of course Happy Birthday to Olivier!

  20. Hi :)

    Greetings :)

    First of all let me take this opportunity to congratulate OLIVIER on his birthday. God bless him and shower upon him all happiness and success. I am sure you will have great celebrations today.

    Very lovely photos. It looks like you are still having cold weather there. The place looks grey.

    There is a plan to built a metro rail here in Kochi to ease traffic jams in the city. Hope it will fructify quickly.

    Best wishes to you and your family :)

  21. First of all: Happy Birthday, Olivier!
    Catherine, Le Monde, we know, is a very important newspaper, and it's the only newspaper which comes out with the date of the following day: is it right? Le Monde we find in the newsstand today, 16th March, has the date of the 17th March?
