So many beautiful places, so little stowaway space...

Voilà, une dernière phrase qui me permet pour une fois de ne pas être totalement hors sujet.

Oui, en regardant bien, on voit sur le socle le nom de René II. Ce doit être sa place.
J'y ai passé 15 ans et n'y suis retourné qu'en '98. Avant de faire un crochet chez ma grand-mère dans la Meuse pour regarder France-Italie, je m'étais arrêté en ville une journée. Le zoo, ses ours toujours moins nombreux, l'odeur de gaufres et de fruit de la passion qui semble persister dans le coin de la Pépinière.
Le soir je m'étais rendu au Zénith, où jouaient Money Mark, Garbage, les Beastie Boys, Ben Harper... et Sonic Youth. C'était bien.

Perdóname por escribir cosas que no puserían entender.

I was merely referring to the fragrance in my former home town : waffles, passion fruit ice cream...
In the town where I type all this from, no smell, nada. By the end of spring, sometimes, when the wind blew, we could choke on the stench of sugar beet but the owner sold the factory.

Any specific fragrances in your towns?

the picture is not taken from an island (although there is an island in the middle, the "Birds' Isle"), but from one side of the bay to the other - you can see on the other side what used to be the highest dune in Europe (until they apparently discovered there was a higher dune in Lithuania... if i remember correctly...)

More about Arcachon, its sandy beaches where the bored youngsters from Bordeaux cross British tourists, its aquarium, its casinos, beautiful and oh-so-expensive houses, its right wing old widows...

There's a nice vast park there, where a tall thin iron tower stands and shakes a lot when you walk to the top to take a picture :

yes, that belvedere is great... i went there once while a tempest was approaching, and it was quite scary to walk up the stairs...

it's strange to see Nancy associated with passion fruit!... i guess i didn't notice that fragrance in the pépinière while i was there...

Creuzburg (very small town somewhere in the middle of Germany...)

An older picture. We haven't had Hardee's in like 6 years.

my current hometown looks like shit. kinda like hayden asche's pictures, minus the green (there is dust everywhere)

j'habite au nouveau mexique

i'll refrain from posting any more eyesores this week

Our hometown is similar to one large overpopulated methlab. Nothing happening just lots and lots of white trash and drugs.

I LOVE IT
