A Bridge Not Too Far

April 9, 2014

This Weekly Special comes from our trip to the South of France last summer. After Theo & I attended the Green Day concert in Nîmes, Anne-Laure and Ella took the train to meet us. We spent part of the day at Pont du Gard.

Pont du Gard is an ancient aqueduct bridge crossing the Gardon River that was built by the Romans in the 1st century AD. It is part of the 50-km long (31 miles) aqueduct system that stretched from the natural springs in Uzès to the Roman colony in Nîmes. Today, it is UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fun park to visit with your family.

Piano in the Park

March 31, 2014

This Weekly Special is from a park around the corner from where I live. Last summer, someone put a piano in a shaded area of the grass for all to enjoy. I snapped this photo before tickling out a rockin’ version of “Chopsticks”.

Gruff Family Beware

February 18, 2014

I was jogging in Dijon when I came upon this sign that leads to a residential neighborhood. Now I’ve seen some strange names for a community, but “Street of the Dead Goat” is a new one. It must be inhabited by a cult that hates sheep-related animals…or possibly by trolls.

Graffiti Lyonnais

February 10, 2014

One of the great things about living in a big city is the vast array of street art that you can stumble upon. This Weekly Special stems from a project that I did for a friend of mine. Her son had mailed me his “Flat Stanley” to show around Lyon as an assignment for his 2nd grade class. Stanley and I were coming back from one of the old Roman amphitheaters when we came upon this urban canvas.

This Old House

January 28, 2014

I was slack about posting The Weekly Special (WS) over the holidays due to work and travel schedules, as well as dealing with a nasty stomach flu. This is part of the old château that is located near the chapel pictured in the previous WS. The contrast between the two images are stunning.
