Morning Ride
Just two steps outside my hotel in Geneva, I didn’t even have time to raise the camera and aim. A lucky shot.

16
One of the many tracts of abandoned row homes in the city where 16 of 16 houses on a block are boarded up. Block after block. Street after street.

Overcast Traffic
With a view just slightly different from last week’s Wet Street, a wider shot of the neighbourhood around the Arc de Triomphe. The ferris wheel at Place de la Concorde is in the distance.

Decay
One of the blocks near Johns Hopkins Hospital where every single home is abandoned and boarded up to some degree. A common sight around the city.

From the top of the Arc de Triomphe, traffic on the Champs Elysees after the rain.

Take Me To The Riot
The woman behind the front desk, Olivetta, said there is violence in the city today. Police are clearing out the hawkers and touts from the main road toward the Capital City neighborhood, and people on the streets are reacting by throwing stones and resisting the police. “Don’t go there.”

Remembering George
On a cloudy February day in Paris almost 12 years ago, I walked into the cramped store on the Left Bank and was awed. It was a scene of wall to wall books. Floor to ceiling, piled on tables and shelves, stacked on the floor, spilling out onto the sidewalk, where tattered and used titles were in a box marked ’15f’ (about $3). I had never seen anything like it. Or smelled anything like it. It was a pure, unadulterated literary paradise.

Windows and Stairs
Seen looking east from the High Line Park, somewhere near 18th Street.

High Line
Set on a 1.6km section of elevated subway track converted to a greenway, the High Line Park is one of my favourite things in New York. With great views, of both the city and in the nearby galleries of Chelsea, the setting is a great collection of juxtapositions that seems to define the entire town.

Contrast
Stone, sky and vapour. Midday on the streets of Cannes.

After midnight, on the route between Brooklyn and and Penn Station.

East Gallery
In the fresh snow of late night Washington DC, the streets were quiet enough to be able to stand in the middle and take pictures. This is the National Gallery of Art’s East Gallery, taken from Pennsylvania Ave.
