Nine years ago it was one of one of Hector Guimard’s iconic Art Nouveau entrances to the Paris Métro. This one stands directly opposite the main entrance of Gare du Nord at the junction of Place Napoléon III and Boulevard de Denain.

Nine years ago it was Ariel, at her human’s home in France where she loved to sit in the shade under the roof covering the water well.
A couple of people have likened this next image to a scene in the 1997 film Titanic… “Photograph me like one of your French cats” 😂
Ariel, my fave Kitty!

Here’s wishing you all a happy and healthy 2023.
Musée d’Orsay, September 2000
Nikon F90X Pro, Sigma 28~200mm f/3.8-5.6 DL Macro – Ilford Delta 400 rated at ISO 320
Yet another image from my honeymoon in Paris way back in September 2000.
The Musée d’Orsay is housed inside the former Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans (PO) railway station on the left bank of the River Seine and I seem to remember visiting it was the only ‘touristy’ thing we did all week!
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.
A storm approaches…

Six years ago it was an approaching storm in the Nièvre department in central France… when it finally arrived, it did so with a veangence!

The more I play with the Negative Lab Pro plugin for Lightroom the more impressed I am with it… the results from DSLR digitisation are far better than those from either my flatbed or film scanners.
