Bridge's shadow


Manhattan Island.. Roosevelt Island.. Long island.
The Queensboro Bridge leaves the Queens in Long Island,going over Roosevelt Island,seen on this picture, and enters Manhattan
between 59 and 60th street.That is why it is sometimes called The 59th street Bridge..
In a Simon and Garfunkel song... In a famous scene from the Woody Allen movie"Manhattan" where he sits with Diane Keaton on a bench,overlooking the East river.

L'Ile de Manhattan... Roosevelt Island.. Long Island..
Le Queensboro bridge relie le quartier du Queens sur Long Island, a Manhattan, en passant au dessus de Roosevelt Island,que l'on voit sur cette photo.
Il est aussi appele le 59th street Bridge car il entre dans Manhattan entre la 59 et la 60eme rue.
Une chanson de Simon and Garfunkel porte ce nom.. Une scene du film "Manhattan" de Woody Allen l'a egalement rendu celebre,il y est assis avec Diane Keaton sur un banc .

Two's company.

A pair of buildings... Two belfries on top of the buildings...
A pair of trees hiding the belfries..
Two benches under the trees...
Two friends sitting on the benches.

Deux immeubles... une paire de clochers en haut de ces immeubles...
Deux arbres cachant les clochers... Une paire de Bancs sous les arbres
Deux amis assis sur les bancs.

Our New York.

That is the feeling,People who love New York share:
This is Our New York.
It belongs to no one in particular,it belongs to Everybody.
In the back,the gilded statue of Prometheus,The GE building with its famous address
30 Rock... 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

C'est le sentiment partage par tous ceux qui aiment New York:
Voici Notre New York.
Elle n'appartient a Personne en particulier,elle nous appartient a Tous.
Au second plan,la statue doree de Promethee,et le building de General Electrique, avec sa celebre adresse... 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

"Camera Fishing"


During my walk,yesterday morning, I saw something moving in a small defrost corner of a pond..
No fishing pole at hand!!
but my camera in the backpack,I was able to get this "catch"..
This poor creature was desperate for some light...some air..some oxygene... after a few weeks under the ice. It keept on turning around offering all parts of its body to the meager sun.

Pendant ma marche,hier matin,j'ai surpris un mouvement dans un petit coin degele d'un etang.
Sans canne a peche!!
mais avec mon appareil photo dans mon sac a dos,
j'ai reussi tout de meme une "bonne peche"..
Cette pauvre creature avait un serieux besoin de lumiere... d'air... d'oxygene.. apres quelques semaines, passe sous la glace. Il semblait "faire la planche",offrant aux faibles rayons du soleil,
toutes les parties de son corps..

Glass jars.

An old fashioned feeling in Greenwich Village... Herbs, powders, seeds... and fairy dust....
All kind of remedies.... for every kind of little Boo-boos....


Dans cette caverne d'Ali Baba New Yorkaise, toutes sortes de graines, herbes,
et poudres de Perlin Pinpin....
pour tenter de guerir.... tous les petits Bobos...

Curves... Curves... Curves...

Forget about the jeans... Come to think of it, I DO love curves..... and the definition I found in the dictionnary:
"something with a smooth round shape..."
(The ones in the picture are from the Guggenheim Museum).
Have a great week end.

Au diable les jeans,c'est tout refflechi... J'Adore les courbes et leur definition trouvee dans le dictionnaire:
"Arabesques.. volutes..ondulations"
(Celles-ci ont ete prises au Musee Guggenheim)
Bon Week end a Tous.

Sail away...1

Sunrise on the Larchmont Yacht Club.
In 1880,5 young men,who loved sailing on Long Island sound,but were tired of ending their sailing day with a bonfire on the beach,decided to look for a place...and that's how it started.
Tomorrow,a little pick inside...

Le soleil se leve sur le Larchmont Yacht Club.
En 1880, 5 jeunes hommes,fanatiques de voile, decident de trouver un endroit pour se retrouver apres leurs journees passees en bateau sur Long Island Sound. Jusqu'alors ils n'avaient que la plage et un feu de camp pour deviser... Et c'est ainsi que tout a commence.
Demain,petit coup d'oeil a l'interieur...

American Classic

This one is in New Rochelle(next to Larchmont,founded in 1688 by Huguenots from La Rochelle,France).It has been there since 1955,but "developpers" have decided to demolish it and replace it by another"Drugstore"..It's a shame.
Celui-ci est a New Rochelle(ville mitoyenne de Larchmont,fondee en 1688,par des Huguenots de La Rochelle).Malheureusement,de charmants promoteurs ont prevu de le remplacer par encore un nouveau centre commercial....
Open 24/7..Could be an early breakfast,or a very late snack,at 4 a.m.. Could be a quick bite,or a very late breakfast at noon...
Could be an"early bird special" or a late lunch at 5p.m... Chances are you will be greeted by...

Ouvert 24h/24,7j/7....Que ce soit un pt dejeuner tres tot,ou une "soupe a l'oignon"vers 4h du matin... Un dejeuner sur le pouce ou un pt dejeuner tres tardif vers midi... Un diner a "L'Americaine" ou un dejeuner prolonge a 17h...Il y a de fortes chances que vous soyez acueilli par un...

"So,What do you want Honey??"

So for our New Rochelle "Icon".... A quarter and One last song.....

Triste fin...

When I was a little girl,every Xmas,I read a book about a "Beautiful" pine tree.I used to love the begining and cry at the end..because it ended just like this...

Quand j'etais enfant,chaque Noel je relisais un livre racontant l'histoire d'un "Beau" sapin, j'adorais le debut et versais une larme a la fin.. l'histoire se terminait exactement ainsi...
