Up / Down

Three levels of the Hôtel de Ville Metro station, one of the original eight stations in the city’s system when the first section was first opened in 1900.

A year away from blogging, and a growing archive of stories and pictures, leads me to a year of posting. I’ve come full circle. And with it, day one of 365. A year in photos.

Looking eastbound toward Monaco from the Nice station, tracks converge before a bridge and tunnel out of the city centre.
