Islands.79
Last entry was light in the darkness, this entry is islands in the city of light :-). Above you see both Ile de la Cite (with the towers of Notre Dame shortly before its formal reopening) and, if you look closely enough, the northernmost bit of Ile St Louis, both floating in the splendid early dawn still of the Seine, back in late October. All the images below show one or both islands as well.

Notre Dame of course sits on Ile de la Cite, with Ile St Louis nested upstream and next to it. You can just see St Louis’s tip in the photo at the bottom, to the left. Why oh why did it take me more than three years of living in Amsterdam to finally just hop on the train down here? I’d forgotten how much I love this city.
City Lights.73
Yes, we’ve made it back to the City of Light for the first time in — wait for it — fourteen years. Today I’m heading on towards Switzerland after three days of getting reacquainted with this unique city in which I spent a fair amount of time between 2005 and 2010. These are all from an evening walk along both banks of the Seine and around the Marais on my first evening, last Saturday.
(so much world, so little time....)
