From above

Walking 675 meters above the sea , this is what you see..

The small village  EZE

And far behind, along the shore ,

the Cap ferrat , and the small cities and harbors 

Beaulieu , Saint-Jean , and Villefranche .

 

And that  was  how I spent the last day of september  !

A dream a day ...

....keeps the blues away !

 

Rain is coming

 

Working high

Going on  the long list of "the jobs I could not do"..

Today: Working on a crane .

(And even worth :

working on a crane-on-a-boat .

Must be moving... )

Once upon a time , 

old pictures were black and white;

But sometimes , somehow , some people wanted to see them in colors..

A moment in the harbour

Don't trust what you see; 

This boat was not leaving the harbour 

but manoeuvring backward to enter it and find a place.

During the manoeuvre , other boats had to wait !

Jacques Faizant (1918-2006 )

Jacques Faizant was a famous and talented  political sketcher.

He worked for many newspapers during his life.

He also published some books, like this one, 

that I recently found in a flea market.

I could not resist to share some sketches with you !

" Sorry, I was a little delated.."

"So, we are lost ?.."

"Captain first , it's a question of good education.."

"The spanish admiral says you have a very good accent.."

" How much for a new anchor?.."

" He probably misunderstood one of your signs, because he says : Eat ! "

Farewell

Jean-Paul BELMONDO is gone today .

He was one of the most popular french actors.

Beautiful , talented , kind , a sportman ,

and sooo french !

He was 88 years old.

He's taking away a big part of my youth with him.

Today is a sad day...
