Située au cœur du Vieux-Lyon, la Cathédrale Saint-Jean, appelée aussi Primatiale Saint-Jean (siège du primat des Gaules), est un édifice mélangeant les styles gothique et roman. Sa construction s'étend sur trois siècles, de 1175 à 1481.

Elle a été au cours des siècles le théâtre d'évènements politiques et historiques importants : 2 conciles s'y sont déroulés en 1245 et 1274; le Pape Jean XXII y est couronné en 1316 ; le 13 décembre 1600, la cathédrale abrite le mariage d'Henri IV et de Marie de Médicis.

Can you feel or see the sun rising? :)

Long exposure shot of Mary's Shell at sunset shot in autumn / fall 2015. Mary's shell is a steel sculpture / public art on Cleveleys beach near Blackpool in Lancashire, England. It was installed on 25 September 2013. It is entirely exposed at low tide you can climb inside. At high tide only the highest part of the sculpture is visible above the waves. The sculpture is 4.6m tall, 8 m long and weighs 16.5 tonnes and has words from the story "Sea Swallow" etched inside.

  

1950 Buick Super convertible car in Havana photographed on the last day of my holiday in Cuba. It was a hot sunny day and ideal for tourists taking a tour of Old Havana in these old american convertible cars.

  

I have loved his rough look from the day I met him. His name suits his looks - and if he wore clothes, it had to be denim...

Many thanks to David for suggesting the music, which of course must be ZZ Top's Rough boy. :)

A typical Danish Christmas Eve in my childhood home. Father has lit the candles, the doors have been opened and the family let in for the traditional dancing and singing around the Christmas tree.

Left to right: Myself disguised as "Yule man", sister Lene, neighbour and occasional nanny Marie, uncle Richard, eldest brother Elon and our father Frode. The picture was shot by brother Leon - and our mother Lily had probably found an excuse for not being on the photo... ;)

Tyler Mitchell at a wonderful cosmic jazz gig at the Cafe Oto by the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra - joyous polyrhythms, blowing sax, flutes, trumpets, bongo and drums.

 

As ever, the band was decked out in their ineffable mix of traditional African and space age gear.

 

The café lighting was very dim, and it's disrespectful to musicians and fans alike to use flash. So used high ISO and slow shutter speeds and turned this to natural advantage by focussing on grainy atmosphere and subtle motion blur to capture the Arkestra's vibe.

Mâcon - Bourgogne du sud / South Burgundy

Le front de Saône est la partie la plus belle de Mâcon.

On y trouve de nombreuses terrasses de café, de bons restaurants, des maisons colorées.

On peut aussi se promener sur l'esplanade Lamartine en bord de Saône, ainsi nommée en souvenir du poète Lamartine, né à Mâcon en 1790.

Saone front at sunset

 

Saone front is the most lovely part of Macon.

There are many cafe terraces, fine restaurants, colorful houses.

You can also stroll beside the Saone river along the Lamartine esplanade, so named in memory of the poet Lamartine who was born in Mâcon in 1790.
