Solidarité avec Paris ! (Weekend Reflections # 321)

New York City            Bleu, blanc et rouge becomes red, white and blue when it's reflected.

  I took a walk after celebrating my wife's birthday in NYC and found this reflection of a building.  It was a touching tribute to a city that I love and have visited many times.


My heartfelt condolences to Paris after yet another horrific Islamic terrorist attack.


Je vous souhaite un week-end plein de paix !

You are so perceptive to find that beautiful tribute and how it reflects to show our nation's colors in solidarity.

So fitting, James—I won't hesitate to return to Paris, and I bet you feel the same. Bon weekend!

Paris. It's terrible, my thoughts are with the victims.

Paris. Il est terrible, mes pensées sont avec les victimes.

I knew you'd have the perfect reflection ... I've been at such a loss for words - my heart broken. It's good to come visit here and know there is a love for Paris and gentle, wonderful souls from all over the world that come together to share a bit of home, a bit of themselves each week.

A wonderful image to show solidity for a grieving nation

All hearts are sad on days where man turns on man ... there is no logic to it and it can't be explained even by those who participate. I am sad for the French and the pain they are suffering ... I am sad for the immigrants who have had to flee their homelands and sad for all of us who will have to endure these trying times. Very touching tribute, James ...

A worth tribute, James and colorful!
Human tragedy like 911 for the victims - this time it came closer because my son left Paris just in time. Even tragic for the family of the mastermind, coming to Belgium to have a better life - hard to grasp!

Dianne said...

What are they doing to our beautiful city ?? . But a wonderful show of solidarity from not only the French but from around the world. James my post for today only show a small blue icon instead of a picture - is there any way you can fix it from there - thnx

Belated Thanksgiving James!
Malgré tous ces événements mondiaux, nous tenons à célébrer chaque année Thanksgiving qui est un grand moment pour nous de toutes ces années passées aux US et de ces belles valeurs que nous tenons à garder.
