Water is both the source and history of Aix-en-Provence
OK, OK. I’m well aware that just about every article on Aix-en-Provence has a picture of this fountain and even this particular cherub figure, so please no comments about how unoriginal I am. At least I had the artistic vision to include the speed limit sign in the background, which I noticed nobody else had the cajones to put in their photos. To be honest I was making a panoramic photo…alright, no I wasn’t. I was trying not to get hit and still get a shot of the fountain without a bus or other object in the foreground and I didn’t focus enough on the background. But enough self-critique on the photo. I was hoping to put out a few more blog entries and get myself caught up before my trip back to the states, but that isn’t going to happen today. Instead I thought I would post this little entry to remind all of you slackers that you need to go to the GALLERY and sign up if you haven’t already. I’m posting lots of photos there for you all to see and even some old archive photos are making their way to relevant categories. Once you sign up for the Gallery, I will authenticate your request and give you access to the content. You are encouraged, though not required, to post some of your own pictures to the gallery. You are also requested to rate and comment on the photos if you feel moved to do so.
On the personal front, I am heading back to the states to pick up my furry one, attend to some business at the French consulate and see some of my clients. I should be in town for about a week, and if given the chance (by proximity) I’d like to see many of you. If you are not on my route (Philadelphia, Chicago, Portland, Ashland, Chico, Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, San Francisco, East Bay Area) then I am sorry, there probably won’t be any time to see you unless you can schedule to meet me in one of those destinations at the time that I will be there. I would love to spend more time sharing photos and various other observations, but the clock is ticking and I have to get ready for my Looooooooooong journey which begins tomorrow morning (French time) and ends tomorrow night (Pacific standard time.) Ouch. Which will make it roughly 23 hours of travel. I do hope I can sleep some of that time for my minds sake. I will check in with you soon, and hopefully get caught up… (Just so you know I’m posting the photo dates with the blog entries so that I keep a consistant time line with my pictures. So the today, tomorrow etc… well that’s hard to tell.) So write me an email, sign up for the Gallery and take care of yourselves.
Ciao,
