Really Good Wine

2010-02-16T12:27:00.000-08:00

It was a great meal. Everyone wore a hat. All us 'oldies' danced ourselves into the New Year. There were many notable events that happened that night, however one of them was near the top. Someone brought in a GIANT twenty year old bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape. I mean it was really really good. It was worth the struggle getting it opened. It was like a 'celeb' suddenly walk into the party and everyone wanted their picture taken with her.

It was a full moon 'New Years Eve' evening. I love this shot because of the three different light sources.

Party Party Party

We partied a lot in Boulder. And we're still doin' it. This is a shot of the New Year's party table. We're usuallythe first guests to arrive and the last to leave. In fact we didn't leave at all. We spent the night.

Taste and color

Dylan, Thor, Monique and I stayed in an apartment up the hill in Oullins. I took a walk one afternoon and spotted a building that I thought wore an unusual pattern. As I stopped to take a photo, I noticed that the woman who drove by me was giving me the evil eye. She slammed on the breaks and made a 'U' turn in the middle of the street. She had barely stopped her car before she had already open the door and confronted me with this question. "Why are you taking a photograph of my house?" I walked toward her and explained that I was an artist and that I thought the wall was beautiful. I asked her if she knew the American artist Jackson Pollock. She said no, and then said something that I didn't understand until later. It went something like this "Les gouts et les couleurs, ca ne se discute pas!" Basically she said 'There is no accounting for taste!" This is the second time this has happened. The first time I thought the man might punch me. I had to show him the photos of the trees that I taken.

Behind the museum is a structure called a Bazacle, which has something to due with being able to cross the river at it's low spots.But don't quote me. Apparently people have been crossing here for hundreds of years. The river widens and the water slows down. Artifacts were found in the shallows. A hydroelectric plant is there. It is also one of the tourist sites of Toulouse.

While Monique was in a conference and Muriel was at home, I attempted to go to an art museum. My leg was killing me and I felt too tired to stand and too embarassed to speak anymore french, so I went to a park that was next to the museum. I have a file on my computer for carousels. When I discovered this one I was delighted but also frustrated because it was closed. The outside was so interesting and disturbing that I wanted to know more about it's creation. Go to this link. I think you will find it interesting. www.lamachine.fr/#/spectacles

During or time together as a couple, we've spent a lot of time in a lot of different hotels. This one in Toulouse had a fun house mirror.
