Just some photos I've taken recently, "around".
Just after a bit of rain, on my way to pick up the Little Guy at school.
Some buildings here have huge wooden doors and very elegant door knockers. Something about this one caught my eye, although it's nothing unusual.
Sea urchins ("oursins") for sale at a local fish market. I liked the shades of purple and lavender-gray. I've seen them under water once while snorkeling in Martinique but I've never tasted them; does anyone know what they're like? Or for that matter, how do you even get to the inside with all those prickles on the outside?
This neon sign (unlit) was suspended above one of the side streets leading from Place des Abbesses down to Pigalle, but not on rue Lepic which is the street leading to the Moulin Rouge. Which I thought was odd until Georges pointed out that maybe it's just that the windmill is sort of a symbol of Montmartre, since the only two remaining real moulins are here (and just steps away from our apartment for rent!)
Speaking of the apartment, I am nearly finished with the web site and the listing we set up on VRBO.com (Vacation Rental By Owner) to take online reservations. Might even be able to launch them both this afternoon, so check back for details!
