Scotty is still on holiday, fishing in Scotland around 1896, with Dr Watson, not quite sure whether with John or Joan. In Scotty’s stead, Mr Spock is at the helm. “Spock, ready for some fun?”
“Define ‘fun’, Sir?”
“Never mind, Spock. Above: procession last Sunday in Tlalpan, a street away from the house. (C)ourtesy AMO. Jump Spock, please.”
Palais de Tokyo, Paris. 1937.
Amsterdam, 1965. Little sister, in a Breton outfit. Breizh bepred. (Vive la Bretagne!)
Chinatown. Somewhere. “Spock? Have you any idea?”
“Yes, Sir. Last year. Mexico city. All passengers and crew: ready to jump!”
Table set, origin unknown. Initial design circa 1956. Text in Aulde Frenche reads: “Fanny’s Bistrot, Provence herbs cooking since 1906”.
Gare du Nord, Northern Station. Paris, 2016. Architect: Lewis Carroll.
Atitlán lake, Guatemala, c. 2000 AD. There are close to a dozen different Maya-Quiché communities around the lake. Each with a distinctive costume, headwear and dialect. And most dialects cannot understand the others…
Rue Jacob, Paris, 1918.
Irish cemetery, near Dublin, 1983. Jump!
1956, Phnomh-Penh, Cambodia. Yours truly.
Street art hunting, metro Nationale, 13th arrondissement, Paris, July 2018.
La casa del gnomo, the Gnome’s house, Tlalpan, 2017. The top of the door is no more than 1.30 meter. 4 ft 6 for the non-metric enlightened?
The last night in Paris, August 2018. I always go to the Seine and Notre-Dame. 🙂
“Sublimez l’instant.” Sublimate the moment. A new series: “The adventures of Panama Joe.” (It really is a 10 bucks paper hat made in China bought in Saint-Michel. But, hush. Don’t tell him). Glass of wine is Brouilly. July 23d, Paris.
“And I held my breath.” Et j’ai retenu mon souffle…
Thank you for hopping along on Equinoxio’s Time-Space shuttle. Thank you Mr Spock, that went smoothly. Please message Scotty he can stay fishing in 1895 as long as he wishes. No hurry. A breathless weekend to all.
Equinoxio 
1956 … and Brouilly some years later. Gorgeous, Brieuc. Many thanks for the jumps.
Pas de quoi Gilles. J’espère que le vola a été nominal?
Et il est même pro-nominal ! Une belle journée à toi, Brieuc.
Merci. De même. Et bon week-end, Gilles.
Cute little globetrotter in Cambodia and love the Parisian street art, along with the Panama hat… 🙂
Glad you like it. I personally have great fun putting together pot-pourri posts. 🙂
Nähdään Lumi.
I always loved how in Paris, I received a bottle of water with my wine. How civilized.
Agreed. It’s the small details that make civilization. 🙂
Fantastic.
Love the time hopping.
Every image is a gem
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Gorgeous photo of your sister. That strange crooked building by Lewis Carroll is nuts. I’ve been there and do not remember seeing it.
Have you been to Ireland? I don’t remember you telling me that you had. (Cemetery photo made me think of the question.)
I’ve always wanted a good Panama hat. Never found one I liked that was even close to reasonable. Love the idea of seeing yours travel the world.
The sculpture at gare du Nord was there a couple ago but a bit on the side.
We have been to Ireland once, only too briefly. Loved it except for the bl..dy cold. We were visiting an Irish friend at Easter. She used turf in the chimney and turned off the central heating at night. Too hot she said. 🙂
The problem with Panama hats is that the straw makes them fragile. They wear out easily. (So I tend to keep one in every port. Colombia, Mexico, Paris) 😉
Once again, so interesting with wonderful photo’s! The best ones are the ones of your sister and little you…so cute! Is that building in Paris really so crooked, or was it the angle at which you took the photo?
Vintage photos… 😉
The “building” is a sculpture, in a reduced scale. Look closely at the people. There is one man seated at a window on the left, and another standing on the right. You will see the scale.
Goed week-end Dina.
Oh yes, now I see! Clever indeed.
🙂
Dear Brian, Spock and fun, haha! 🙂 A lovely assortment of photos and destinations this trip, thank you! I do hope you’ve been enjoying your summer and had a wonderful time in Paris. Please enjoy the rest of your Friday and have a terrific weekend. ~ Mia
Hi Mia. So nice to see you. I hope your summer was happy and filled with joy. Did you travel anywhere? (Yes, I needed that Paris break badly!) Likewise, a great week-end to you.
B.
Thank you, likewise, happy to see you! The summer has been good, no traveling, just enjoying the excessive heat. 😉 And thank you for the weekend wishes! 🙂
Avec plaisir mon amie. 🙂
Just watched List of demands. Very good. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, thank you for watching. 🙂
I love the images, they’re lovely ✌🏾
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the “tour”. Take care
You’re welcome
Equinoxio will make you jump, jump, from one subject to the other but never (too) randomly. I appreciate this.
Thank you. I’m glad you appreciate the (hidden) structure. 🙂
There is always an underlying structure to everything. Even Chaos.
Take care
Fabulous!! (Especially the street art murals…LUV)
I imagined you might say that. 🙂
(I’m still sorting and edit this summer’s pix. Found some real S.A. gems. Will share along the way.)
Cheers
Looking forward!
A great pot-pourri of shots to begin the week ~ great selection and feeling of life from around the globe.
Thank you. I must admit, I enjoy putting together a pot-pourri. “This one! No, not that one. hmm. I need something different. An elephant maybe? etc.”
And it is nice that others enjoy the result.
Take care.
Thanks Brian. The Gare du Nord ‘house’ looks like a lot of fun and I’m loving the building-sized street art. Another reminder that I’ve not yet been to the Palais de Tokyo. Cheers.
Don’t bother about the collections inside the Palais de Tokyo. Better walk outside the museum. I’ve seen ten times better art on the streets this time than in the museum. Tschüss.
So much of amazing everything! Your and your sister’s portraits are the best 🙂
Thank you. I do enjoy putting the mix together. 🙂
And our Kid pictures are – also – an old advertising trick (I worked in advertising a bit) if you put children (or pets) in an ad it will raise impact and awareness… 😉
Cheers my friend.
Oh you know your tricks well 🙂 Give me these two charming kiddies and a couple of beautiful cats in every post – i will sign up for everything you might advertise 🙂
Haha! ‘will do ma’am. 🙂
Be good Inese.
your boyhood photographs are also wonderful…your sister and you cute ☺️ smiles hedy
Aren’t most kids cute? 🙂 Even with a few scraped knees? 🙂
