It's something about being to imagine how things were like in the past with structures that still exists today that makes it so beautiful.Dozkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11203633492475611571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-21721705773420851612009-08-25T12:00:36.292-04:002009-08-25T12:00:36.292-04:00Beautiful shots!

Littl...So much and so little contrast! I love it! <br /><br />Little Italy was one of my favorite parts in NYC, with an old man sitting in the street, next to his building entrance. I was looking for a recommended cafe and stopped to ask him where it is, to have him answer me in Italian. I had to repeat the question in Italian to get the answer... in the heart of NYC... very funny! :)Mirelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812450418473577892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-29608045946157220902009-08-17T19:57:58.953-04:002009-08-17T19:57:58.953-04:00celia,

Nothing could have lived up to what I read. And I did not have anything to eat, just strolled the main street. I had similar experience in Paris at Les Deux Magots. But my experience many years ago was still better in France than in New York City. Sorry to here about ur recent experience there. Sounds like cross pollination, good and bad, is rapid now across international borders and waters.Brian Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579167361224067819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-26408361005430093402009-08-17T12:25:13.746-04:002009-08-17T12:25:13.746-04:00Aix food was awful.

Best food was a pork dish that was served at the work site in Cadarache. P.S Paris is loaded with panhandlers and scam artist most I've seen anywhere.

Some very fine buildings have been lost, like NYC I'm sure.marleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472265054401361817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-32316471753008025732009-08-17T11:43:27.928-04:002009-08-17T11:43:27.928-04:00An Honest Man - Good question.

Looking at the original and information, it does appear that this is an original color photo, however it also does appear that the image has been sharpened and altered in some ways.
