Spiderweb.
(Because there's no way on god's green earth I could ever get close enough to an actual spider to take a photo.)

Kilo Shop
Paris

#PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #ShopfrontFriday #urban #vintage #Paris

The front of a shop called Kilo Shop, claiming the world's largest vintage selection. The wide door of the shop is open, and rows of vintage clothing can be seen in the dimly lit interior. The shop sits in an old stucco building. Next to it is a partial view of a closed metal pull-down door with some graffiti on it. On the other side of the shop, the rear wheel of a blue bicycle is visible.

Yesterday we visited Auvers-sur-Oise, where Vincent Van Gogh spent the last 70 days of his life painting, literally, like a madman. So, with apologies to Vincent, here is...

"Cornfield with Black Birds"

#PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #Scape #ScapeDay #FlyDay

A landscape of a harvested corn field under a dark blue, clouded sky with three black birds flying at the horizon. The photo has been digitally enhanced to add texture to the clouds and an orange glow to the corn field. The photo was taken at the location where Vincent Van Gogh painted "Wheatfield with Crows."

I was initially disappointed with the weather forecast for our visit to Giverny. Goodness knows I love a bright blue sky, but I think the mist was really special, especially in the water garden.

Yellow chairs are stacked outside next to several stacked tables and a couple of umbrella stands, waiting to be set up for dining. The items are in a paved square covered with yellow and orange fallen leaves. A branch of a tree full of yellow leaves hangs over the chairs.

People sitting at computer stations, most of them drinking coffee, in an elegant room with high ceilings with ornately carved and gilded dark wood moldings framing elaborate classical paintings. The walls are pale blue with gold molding and hung with mirrors and artwork in gold frames. Crystal chandeliers hang between black and gold marble columns, and the whole space glows with reflected light.
