New Year's and a trip to the South of France

Nîce and its hilltop cemetary


This mannekin does not like her hat

I want to live here. View of one of Nîce's ports

The Orangerie de Renoir, right outside his house in Cagnes-sur-mer, where he lived from 1907 until his death in 1919

View of a hilltop town from Renoir's house.

Nîce's main market


Snowy Paris: view of the International House from my window.


The glowing Eiffle Tower, right before the clock struck midnight.

The Eiffle Tower, in all of its sparkling glory.
