The ghost barge
Jeudi, février 4th, 2010On a Seine River arm, a ghost barge is docked waiting endlessly for a captain to take its command. One could almost think that zombis will appear from the decks. Well, look closely, a presence is making sure nobody will board the ship looking for adventure. (click on picture to enlarge)

Dimanche, décembre 27th, 2009When dogs lay 6 feet under, cats grin
Jeudi, novembre 26th, 2009As strange as it sounds, Paris has a dog cemetery; “Le cimetière des chiens”. Created in 1899, it is believed to be the first pet cemetery in the world. You will find hundreds of tumbs under the shade of trees longing the Seine River. You will also be amazed by some of the tumbs, worthy of the greatest human celebrities. Yet, there are still some living souls in this cemetery as a dozen of cats pace up and down the alleys. You can almost hear them cry on the graves of their buddies cat. Yet, they will also lay peacefull with a slight grin on dogs’ last residences. (click on pictures to enlarge)

Vendredi, novembre 6th, 2009A Crossroad in Life
Vendredi, octobre 23rd, 2009Sometimes one comes to a crossroad in life. He then takes a sit, contemplates his options and chooses a way. Obviously, more easy to say than do. Especially when you live in Saint-Denis, one of the toughest suburbs of Paris where this religious center is located. (click on picture to enlarge)

Vendredi, octobre 16th, 2009Stairway to Heaven
Vendredi, octobre 9th, 2009I come across these two monks very often on my way home. They hold up each other during their short walk around the block of houses. Every day at the same hour, and always the same path. And this will probably go on until the day that one has to go … and climb the Stairway to Heaven. (click on picture to enlarge)

When Miss Bodyless meets Miss Headless
Mercredi, octobre 7th, 2009Back to Martyr street flea market where stand owners always take special care in setting up their merchandise. Sometimes almost in freaky ways that almost make you believe you are in some sort of horror movie. (click on pictures to enlarge)

Divine rays ?
Jeudi, septembre 10th, 2009When I saw these rays of light piercing through the stained glass window of Saint-Germain-de l’Auxerrois, I could not resist staging this shot. Yet, after looking at the result, I got the impression that it looked more like an alien communicating with her mothership than a divine ray

Mercredi, août 5th, 2009Park Monceau’s ghosts
Lundi, juillet 27th, 2009If you ever go to in Park Monceau in the early hours of the morning, your might encounter ghosts and their freightening shadows. You can observe them performing a series of ritual exercises before they eventually decide to chase you and end your life in atrocious sufferings. Nevertheless, do not worry as, most probably they’ll just run a few laps and go take a deserved shower. (click on picture to enlarge)
