Chez Spud

Just following up on yesterday’s strange post about quilts of MIA and dead people (you’ll have to read it to get it)…a number of you asked what the photo was that I used. It’s part of the entrance to the Palais Royale Metro station in Paris. Only the French could make something so mundane as a train station entrance look so stunning. And do it with that Gallic nonchalance that makes the rest of us look like a bunch of eager puppies. No wonder they sneer in our general direction.

I didn’t really get a good shot of ‘the whole’ as I was too busy with ‘my art’, giggle. But here’s one I’ve borrowed from Ted Drake on Flickr, who actually bothered to get a good shot of the whole shebang. I should learn from that.

Here’s some other shots….it’s lovely isn’t it? Makes me want to be there all over again. I just re-read my Paris post…love love love blogging for that instant ‘hit’ of diary/photos/memories. Those couple of days I spent in Paris in the summer were so magical, makes me want to go again. Alas my friend has since moved to Dubai which, I’m sure, is lovely but perhaps not as charming as Paris. Also, not quite as near for a sneaky overnight trip.

Much more importantly…doesn’t that bloke in the photo at the top look like Toby from West Wing? Aha…so that’s where he got to….
