Lower Manhattan | Brooklyn Bridge Park 28/04/2015 11h33
This is definitely one of the beautiful view points towards Manhattan. Located in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Lower Manhattan
Lower Manhattan, also known as Downtown Manhattan, is the southernmost part of the island of Manhattan, the main island and center of business and government of the City of New York, which itself originated at the southern tip of Manhattan Island in 1624.
Lower Manhattan is defined most commonly as the area delineated on the north by 14th Street, on the west by the Hudson River, on the east by the East River, and on the south by New York Harbor (also known as Upper New York Bay).
The Lower Manhattan business district forms the core of the area below Chambers Street. It includes the Financial District (often referred to as Wall Street, after its primary artery) and the World Trade Center site. At the island's southern tip is Battery Park; City Hall is just to the north of the Financial District. Also south of Chambers Street are the planned community of Battery Park City and the South Street Seaport historic area.
The city hall and related government infrastructure of the City of New York are located in Lower Manhattan, next to City Hall Park.
The largest New York City Subway hub, the Fulton Center in Lower Manhattan, re-opened in November 2014 after a $1.4 billion reconstruction project necessitated by the September 11, 2001 attacks and complicated by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Upon opening, this transit hub linking nine existing subway lines was expected to serve 300,000 daily riders. The World Trade Center Transportation Hub and PATH station is scheduled to be completed in 2015.

La Villaret (altitude 1200m) 15/02/2014 10h29
A view point photo taken on my attempt to climb from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to the Chapelle Saint-Michel at at height of 1435 meters. At about 1200 meters I had to turn around. The trail was hidden by a layer of 20 to 30 centimeters of snow at some places. But from here the view over the valley of Bourg-Saint-Maurice was fantastic already.
Bourg Saint-Maurice
Bourg-Saint-Maurice is part of the Paradiski ski area (425 km of slopes, 141 lifts, 239 slopes - 12 Green, 132 Blue, 66 Red, 29 Black). Although there is no skiing at this altitude, it is conveniently linked to Arc 1600 by the Arc en Ciel funicular railway and is therefore home to many budget rental properties. Unlike the other villages that make up Les Arcs, Bourg-Saint-Maurice is open all year.
Bourg is also a popular summer destination, as it offers lots of opportunity for lovers of the outdoors and watersports. There is a whitewater slalom course on the Isere river used for international canoe and kayak competitions. The course on the Isere has been host to the ICF world championships and is used by many European teams as a training course in the summer. The course is often changed by the floods that occur during the winter months.
The surrounding mountains are good for walking and mountain biking. They also are a good place for paragliding and hang gliding. Some of Les Arcs ski lifts operate during July and August to get walkers to the higher peaks and you can take mountain bikes up on these. Mountain bikes ( VTT (Vélo Tout Terrain) in French) can be hired in both Bourg and Les Arcs. Some of the high altitude restaurants open in these months, the ones at Pre st Esprit and L'Arpete have small outdoor pools.
The nearest summer glacier skiing is in Tignes (approximately 27 km from Bourg) on the Grande Motte, however due to glacial recession it is now closed at certain times of the year.

Je suis dans mon poste d'observation. Je suis dans ma noble tour de guet. En effet, je ne suis pas dans n'importe quel lieu. Le clocher fortifié, mais depuis longtemps désarmé, de Notre-Dame, est mon point de vue. Mais où sont passés les galions et les frégates anglais, où sont bien passés les murs et la Tour de François Ier ? Les temps ont changé ! Depuis cette tour, nous avons vu passé les flottes et l'aviation anglaise ravager la ville à de multiple reprises, la vieille ville se moderniser, les immeubles de Perret pousser d'un champ de ruine, la Résidence de France remplacer l'immense atelier de chantier naval d'Augustin Normand. Nous avons vu du haut de ce clocher vu les navires apporter les morues, fruit de la pêche provenant de Terre-Neuve, les navires du Nouveau Monde apportant des épices et du coton récoltés par les esclaves, les baleiniers et l'âge d'or de la période des Transatlantiques.
Les choses ont bien changé, mais pas tout... Comme lors des pestes de 1563, de 1594 ou de 1920, comme lors des grandes épidémies de choléra et de dysenterie du XIXème siècle, une nouvelle épidémie plonge la ville et son port dans un mortel silence que seul le beffroi, qui se trouve à mes pieds, brise par ses merveilleuses sonneries.
A la derecha de la imagen sobresale entre los edificios el citado monumento de la "Mire du Nord" en forma de piramide alargada. En primer plano la escalera de piedra que daba acceso a la terraza mirador del Blute-Fin desde la entrada por la Rue Lépic. Otro acceso al "point de vue" del molino se encontraba justo detrás de este. En el fondo se distinguen los grandes edificios que bordean en curva la Rue Caulaincourt. Siguiendo el trazado lineal del edificio del ángulo inferior derecho, en ese fondo y tras los árboles, asoma una de las aspas del "Moulin à Poivre".

Castelo de São Jorge 26/09/2010 15h34
From the terrace of the castle the view over the city and Rio Tejo is fanstastic.
Castelo de São Jorge
The Castle of São Jorge (Castelo de São Jorge) is a moorish castle that occupies a commanding position overlooking the city of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and the broad Rio Tejo beyond. The strongly-fortified citadel, which, in its present configuration, dates from medieval times, is located atop the highest hill in the historic center of the city. The castle is one of the main historical and touristic sites of Lisbon.

Interesante señalar el valor documental de la fotografÃa del ángulo superior derecho, que nos ofrece la posibilidad de reconocer, desde otro punto de vista, el lugar tantas veces citado de la entrada al Impasse des Deux-Frères, con la arcada del Galette, la casa roja con el Restaurant Debray, donde vivÃan Casas y Rusiñol, y al fondo la entrada al lugar del "Point-de-vue" pintada por Van Gogh. A la izquierda de esta imagen, entre dos farolas blancas, también se percibe la otra entrada al Galette que aparece en la obra de la izquierda.
En el plano los tres ángulos de visión de las imágenes:
En 1, el lugar de la obra inferior de Rusiñol.
En 2, lugar del encuadre de la fotografÃa.
En 5, el lugar de la obra de Rusiñol en Blanco y negro.
Los números 3 y 4 señalan las otras entradas que aparecen en ellas.

El fragmento con el fondo de la obra nos permite conocer la que creemos la entrada al mirador "point de vue" del Blute-Fin, desde el Impasse des Deux Frères. En la puerta, bajo losclásicos faroles blancos de Galette, observamos una figura frente a una especie de garita, suponemos que la taquilla de esta entrada. A la derecha, desde esta portada, se perfila sobre un montÃculo, una rampa de madera con barandilla que podrÃa dar acceso a la terraza superior del molino.
Más al fondo se dibuja la siilueta del Moulin à Poivre.
Sin duda el lugar es el mismo que aprece en el fondo del retrato de Satie de la imagen anterior.

Paris 17ème & Tour Pleyel 29/05/2012 18h17
A view Northbound from the Arc de Triomphe. Overlooking the 17ème and a part of the 18ème arrondissement and in the middle the Tour Pleyel in Saint-Denis. The distance to this tower is from this point of view 5 to 6 kilometers crow flies.
Tour Pleyel
Tour Pleyel is a skyscraper of mixed use, both residential and commercial, located in the commune of Saint-Denis.
Built in 1972, the tower is 129 meters tall. At the top is a large turning advertising sign, in place since 1997 (the advertisement was firstly for Philips, and has been for Siemens since 2006). Including that advertising sign, the total height of the tower is 143 meters (37 floors).
The tower has been built at the former location of the Pleyel factories. Several projects have been proposed since 1959, the one which had been adopted was planning the building of 4 identical towers in the middle of a large urban park of 4 ha. Plans for heliports on the roofs of the towers were even made. Only one of the originally planned towers has been built.
The tower is located nearby the metro station of Carrefour Pleyel on Line 13.
Architect: Foliasson, Favatier

Study of the day:
Il nous reste à trouver une nouvelle raison d'être, pour faire quelque chose de différent, mais aussi qui se tienne. Si ça n'a pas de vraie cohérence, mieux vaut laisser tomber. Je n'ai rien contre l'orthodoxie en soi. Mais il est essentiel quand on enregistre, d'éclairer les choses selon un nouvel angle, de recréer l'oeuvre, de transformer l'interprétation en un acte de composition.
We have to find a new rationale, to do something different, but also that holds on. If it is not really consistent, it is better to let it down. I have nothing against orthodoxy in itself, but it is essential when performing, to enlighten things from a new angle to recreate the work, to transform interpretation in an act of composition.
( Glenn Gould - "Au delà du temps", film de Bruno Monsaingeon )

Visited the exposition Video Games Music in the Philharmonie de Paris and climbed onto the roof for the view and more...
Location: Roof with view on the Philharmonie de Paris, 221 Avenue Jean Jaurès, 75019 Paris (F)
Coordinates: 48°53'30.2"N 2°23'37.9"E (Google Maps)
Reason: On 31/03/2026 my favorite streetartist Invader installed 7 new space invaders in and around the Philharmonie de Paris as part of the exposition Video Games Music for which he has made a few fine contributions. I love the Pac Man on the roof for which I had to go up to the 9th floor. I flashed the PA_1565 (40 points), took some nice pictures of it together with the view and enjoyed the view.
Belvédère: A great view over Pantin and Parc de la Villette. At the extreme left the Géode near the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie.
PA_1565: 40 points - Date of invasion: 31/03/2026 (world ranking 4379) - FlashInvader message: ENJOY THE VIEW

Philharmonie de Paris: The Philharmonie de Paris is a cultural institution in Paris, France which combine spaces all dedicated to music. It is composed of concert halls, exhibition spaces, rehearsal rooms, educational services, restaurant and bars. The main buildings are all located in the Parc de la Villette at the northeastern edge of Paris in the 19th arrondissement. At the core of this set of spaces is the symphonic concert hall of 2,400 seats designed by Jean Nouvel and opened in January 2015.
The hall opened on 14 January 2015, with a performance by the Orchestre de Paris of Faure's Requiem, conducted by Paavo Järvi, played to honor the victims of the Charlie Hebdo shootings which had taken place in the city a week earlier. It is located in the Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. This sector of the city was also the home of the two brothers who carried out these killings. The opening concert was attended by French President François Hollande, but boycotted by the architect.
Designed by Jean Nouvel, the Philharmonie 1 is an organic design with innovative forms rising like a hill within the Parc de la Villette. Aluminium panels in a basketweave design swirl tightly around the structure and contrast with the rest of its matte exterior. The exterior features the images of 340,000 birds etched into the surface in seven different shapes and four shades ranging from light grey to black to symbolize a grand take-off. The rooftop, 37 metres high, will be open to the public and will give visitors an expansive view of the city blending into the suburbs.

VyhlÃdka na Letné is a famous viewpoint in the Letná Park (Letenská pláň). The view over both the old and new city is fantastic. Best moment is in the morning. With some backlight but it is still quiet at this point.
The Letná Lookout, often associated with the metronome (Time Machine), offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the historic center of Prague, the Vltava River and its bridges. This iconic spot, located on the site of the former Stalin monument.
