Chariot à glaces (Weekend Street/Reflections # 210)

 Nice, France

They say ice cream can make you smile because it activates the brain's pleasure centers, releasing chemicals that make you feel happy. It can also evoke positive memories and feelings of nostalgia.

I think it only applies to eating it, not serving it. 😏

                                             Have a great weekend!

Night Tram (Weekend Street/Reflections # 208)

Three people waiting for the tram at Port Lympia. The one whose bag can be seen sticking out from the shelter can also be seen in a reflected silhouette on the side of the train.

Improvisation ? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 207)

 

Paris, France

I couldn't figure out why she stood there holding a box over her head. Then I made myself laugh when I thought maybe she had forgotten her umbrella and wanted to be prepared for the inevitable rain.

Nice Reflection (Weekend Street/Reflections # 206

I saw buildings reflected in a car window while walking around Port Lympia in Nice.

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. 😍

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. 😄

Mobilier & Objet (Weekend Street/Reflections # 197)

 Dijon, France

I rarely post reflections anymore. So here's a building reflected in another. I didn't go inside the glass building, but I think it's a furniture and home goods store.

Galerie d'art (Weekend Street/Reflections # 194)

Paris, France
I don't remember exactly where I took this picture but I think it was around ten years ago in the 6th arrondissement, rue des Saints-Pères. 

Merci kwarkito !

Un fameux crocodile (Weekend Street/Reflections #169)

Paris, France

This was a popular brand at my junior high school (a long time ago). Students known as "preppies" wore shirts with this iconic crocodile. Have you ever worn clothing from Lacoste? I haven't.

Une soirée en amoureux (Weekend Street/Reflections # 168)

Paris, France

After taking this picture I tried to figure out what Ventadour means. I think it's a reference to the 12th-century Occitan poet Troubadour Bernard de Ventadour.

Big White 'Light' (Weekend Street/Reflections # 167)

 Lyon, France

An evening street scene in Vieux Lyon. The woman was chatting with someone in the doorway of a pub called Big White. The sign reflected on the door says Big White chill and chat. It was pretty cold that night, so she was chilling and chatting.😏

I don't think she noticed the big white light on the runner's head.

Travail en équipe (Weekend Street/Reflections # 166)

 Lyon, France

Teamwork. Only three are visible but it took four men to carry this heavy wooden table up the wet stairs. Thankfully they didn't slip, or drop the table. I stayed off to the side just in case.

 Happy Easter!

Deux Drapeaux (Weekend Street/Reflections # 165)

 

Paris, France

At first, you might think it's a patriotic dragon on the poster with "le tricolore" tattooed on its neck, but it's a reflection of the flag on top of l'Hôtel Lutetia across the street.

BAM Karaoke Box (Weekend Street Reflections # 164)

 Paris, France   

I'm not sure but I think she got there early to memorize and practice a few songs. This place has private karaoke rooms for groups of people. BAM 

There are several locations in Paris, this one is Sentier. 

Have you ever tried karaoke? I did once around 30 years ago but I don't like signing so it was more fun to watch other people do it.

French Empanadas (Weekend Street/Reflections # 163)

 

Lyon, France

It's not the best lighting or the sharpest picture, but look at the yellow sign that says Toké. It has a bearded man wearing glasses sitting on what looks like a giant empanada. Do you think he looks like the man standing at the counter? 😉

They have several types of empanadas, I had the Jambon Fromage and the Boeuf Argentin. I hope to try the Savoyard next time.
