My Weekly Flick: Normandy tragedy

:( flickr video uploading is down and has been down for several days. It took at least twenty attemps to finally upload that hailstorm to my photostream

:( My Wii won’t work properly for lack of an adequate sensor. Why did I bother transporting it, if it’s not working?

:( My Internet phone doesn’t work, due to works on the line and I only have my cell-phone, which I don’t like to use, as it’s expensive.

:( And to add insult to injury,

This is only one among a lot of showers

Sorry for the poor quality of this, I just had to share! ;)
Now for something better, that I didn’t do. While in Paris at the beginning of July, here’s what Leo Reynolds took.
Very artistic, I think

La Défense, Paris

For better viewing, let the clips load completely before watching

And to finish with, a panorama of La Défense, taken on the same day, that I stitched, using my recent acquisition, Photoshop Elements 6, here, or in larger size, here.

  1. Poor you! We had a deluge on Wednesday too - a bit better now, but a depressing week.

    And doesn’t La Défense (well, any modern architecture, really) look so much better in the sunshine?

  2. @ Autolycus. Just what I needed! A little commiseration. ;)
    Anything looks better in the sunshine, one has to admit.

  3. ‘Elegant’ is the word that comes to mind. And I loved the Percy Faith background music!

  5. Well, my goodness, you really ARE having some techy problems in Normandy.
    That was a serious hail storm…haven’t seen hail like that in ages!
    Loved the La Defense clip….talk about well synchronized! The music (love Theme From a Summer Place) was just perfect. Well done!

  6. Ah, I always thought that Normany had ‘weather’ and not a ‘climate’. Just like the UK really.

    Never mind variety is the spice of life.
