On a mission in town...

Yes, in Paris XI...


... somewhere along the Canal St. Martin, which is still my fief,
(below, some canal's inhabitants).


But what about the mission, the very mission ?
Here it is :

1 2

and 3...
I finally made my choice, mostly because I have to
give back the T100 I borrowed to a friend, and the
glorious T3 passed away in a solarized&violet way,
meaning last shots were both solarized and violet,
I swear it.


So I definitely left the T series (because I hate large sensitive screens) for
the W series and elected the W150 as next G@tto's weapon !
Amen.

Guess who's stealing...

... our pics on the net ?




This guy !

He just feeds his site with our pictures - mostly from Planet Earth Daily Photo
and Flickr, says you can click on them to be redirected to the author's page,
(pretending he's a full time geek) but... nothing !

- No author's credit
- No backlinks

You can follow the whole "affair" on a Flickr discussion started by Rimawa/PEDP.

The guy's also a domains thief, so watch out !
See here & there.

Yours faithfull,

Let's go for a Earth's Panoramic Tour !

World Heritage Tour is listing 1001 cultural and natural
sites around the world (262 already available) and
documenting them in panophotographies - interactive
360 x 180 degrees imaging.


















(Remember the Versailles' Mirrors Gallery ?)


A view of the Eiffel Tower and of a bunch of lianas in the Ujung Kulon's jungle,
(Indonesia)... just to give you the taste !

Dear PPG Readers, I'm sorry...

I'll be back one of these days with a lot of basque red&green pics.






















Yours faithful,

Second mission abroad...

Yes, but this time a driver was sent to pick me up for another coach session
in JewTown.
As a matter of fact the road journey was shorter than last year's flight and door to door,
so I didn't have to risk my life in Orly's basement bowels like in 2007.

Now here I am, safe and back to my fief for a while - with a few JewTown postcards...




















This odd structure on the right, called la ruche (the hive), hosts
the Louis Aragon métro and bus station and a car parking, at
the south end of métro's line # 7 in Villejuif (JewTown for G@tto).




















The Coptic church, on boulevard Maxime Gorki, alias
the Nationale 7 road.
Nice place, cute monks.




















You can find in here the best espresso coffee in JewTown
- a very good one indeed, in rue Jean-Jaurès... for 1€20 !




















The Acapulco was a good and cosy mex restaurant but...
It's all over now (... baby blue), the place is for sale.





















This one is still open and very pleasant in summer evenings,
but if I were you I shouldn't go farer than the entrées...




















Just funny, a toilet booth to rent.






















Indiscretion...
(she didn't see me).
