Just believe in art (Weekend Street/Reflections # 205)

 

Paris, France

Even though there weren't any bells this reminded me of some verses in the Carol of the Bells.

"Throw cares away

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer

To young and old, meek and the bold"

                                                     Happy 2025!

Nice Noël 24 (Weekend Street/Reflections # 204)

Nice, France

Place Massena in Nice is very festive this time of year. I wanted to take a picture of the Ferris wheel and the Noël Nice 24 sign, but I was too close to capture them in the frame. Instead of walking across the street, I decided to wait for a tram to go by so I could capture their reflections in the window.

                                                Merry Christmas!

Vive le Vent (Weekend Street/Reflections # 203)

 Dijon, France

There was only a slight breeze when I took this picture, but it reminded me of something that happened a long time ago. On a very windy day when I was 4 or 5 years old my mother took me to see Santa Claus at Fashion Island (a local shopping mall). Afterward, as we walked to the car, a gust of wind knocked a huge Christmas ball off the side of a building and it started rolling quickly toward us. We were holding hands but I broke free and ran and hid behind a parked car. My mother wasn't so lucky. I watched as the ball chased her through the parking lot. She was very upset but thankfully uninjured. Strangely it didn't scare me at the time and afterward I thought it was funny. It took my mother a lot more time to find the humor in it. 😄

                                     Have a great weekend!
