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 )

Bourg-Saint-Maurice 08/03/2014 17h06
A view over Bourg-Saint-Maurice in the Savoie as seen from the Chapelle Saint-Michel on an altitude of 1343 meters. Bourg-Saint-Maurice is located on an altitude of about 850 meters.
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.

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.

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 19/02/2026 10h55
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.

Happy New Year: This is already my 16th year of this selfportrait project. In total 783 selfies including this one and 2 years had 53 weeks. Excluding the 66 photos who didn't make it to the selfie of the week but were too good not to upload on FlickR. Every week is still a challenge to find a location or subject for my fifty-two.
Promising 2024: You wil never know what will happen but I am looking forward what this year might bring. First of all Mehdi in Amsterdam for me personally. Then we will have the Olympic Games in July and August in Paris and the new haunted experience in De Efteling Danse Macabre. And hopefully peace will return to Gaza and Palestine. At least a ceasefire. And hopefully other countries will come to their senses, including Russia, North Korea, Iran and Israel.
Paris: Paris is the capital and most populous city of France. With an official estimated population of 2,102,650 residents as of 1 January 2023. in an area of more than 105 km2 Paris is the fourth-most populated city in the European Union and the 30th most densely populated city in the world in 2022.

La Mire du Nord (mira del norte) es un pequeño monumento construido por Cassini en 1736, que señala el lugar por donde pasa el meridiano de Paris. Está situado en los jardines privados del Moulin de la Galette.

Rusiñol escribe sobre él:
"El molino no sólo es el centinela del barrio, sino el centinela del mundo. Por él pasa el meridiano. Por su cúspide atraviesa el meridiano de ParÃs, que consultan a todas horas del dia los geógrafos de la tierra y a todas horas de la noche los astrónomos que estudian otros mundos y que miden y recuerdan en el mar los errantes marineros como un faro desconocido, como un mito grandioso, sin poderse figurar
que esa imagen matemática, que es como una oración para ellos, tiene su santuario en un pobre molino, negro, apolillado y de melancólica silueta, que se sostiene por milagro allá en las cimas de Montmartre".

Mont Ventoux | View Point 06/07/2014 14h20
To get a good view to the North from the summit of the Mont Ventoux they have created this view point about 200 meters from the observation tower and centre ville of the Mont Ventoux. Overlooking the Drôme and Vaucluse at the same time in North East direction.
Mont Ventoux
Mont Ventoux (Ventor in Provençal) is a mountain in the Provence region of southern France, located some 20 km northeast of Carpentras, Vaucluse. On the north side, the mountain borders the Drôme département. It is the largest mountain in the region and has been nicknamed the "Beast of Provence"] the "Giant of Provence", or "The Bald Mountain". It has gained fame through its use in the Tour de France cycling race.
As the name might suggest (venteux means windy in French), it can get windy at the summit, especially with the mistral; wind speeds as high as 320 km/h have been recorded. The wind blows at 90+ km/h 240 days a year. The road over the mountain is often closed due to high winds. Especially the "col de tempêtes" ("storm pass") just before the summit, which is known for its strong winds. The real origins of the name are thought to trace back to the 1st or 2nd century AD, when it was named 'Vintur' after a Gaulish god of the summits, or 'Ven-Top', meaning "snowy peak" in the ancient Gallic language. In the 10th century, the names Mons Ventosus and Mons Ventorius appear.
Mont Ventoux, although geologically part of the Alps, is often considered to be separate from them, due to the lack of mountains of a similar height nearby. It stands alone to the north of the Luberon range, separated by the Monts de Vaucluse, and just to the east of the Dentelles de Montmirail, its foothills. The top of the mountain is bare limestone without vegetation or trees, which makes the mountain's barren peak appear from a distance to be snow-capped all year round (its snow cover actually lasts from December to April). Its isolated position overlooking the valley of the Rhône ensures that it dominates the entire region and can be seen from many miles away on a clear day.
FACTS & FIGURES
