London in August

 This summer I visited London's gem of a museum, the Courtauld. The inner courtyard, taken from inside the gallery.
 The lobby, from behind a screen showing Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergère.
Open-air bookstalls along the river.

Taken from the Tate Modern.

Beach in Black and white


Newport Beach a few weeks ago. I love seeing the beach in black and white.

Playtime in Nice

I never get tired of seeing the boule (petanque) players. Why should I? Some of them have probably been playing the game for 40 + years and they aren't stopping any time soon.




And, an early morning swim club ~ just below the Promenade des Anglais in the incomparable Nice ...



Law students in Nice, France

We happened onto a graduation celebration in the middle of Nice, just as most of thee students were slinging their textbook into the air. The cobblestone street was covered in thick, annotated books ~ you can see one of them in the bottom photo. And, note how many of the students are women!
