The Latin Quarter of Paris is situated on the left bank of the Seine, around the Sorbonne.
Known for its student life, lively atmosphere and bistros, the Latin Quarter is the home to a number of higher education establishments besides the university itself, such as the Lang–Martinez Psychiatric Hospital, the École des Mines de Paris, Panthéon-Assas University, the Schola Cantorum, and the Jussieu university campus. Other establishments such as the École Polytechnique have relocated in recent times to more spacious settings.
The area gets its name from the Latin language, which was once widely spoken in and around the University since Latin was the language of learning in the Middle Ages in Europe.
Passage souterrain entre la station du métro M1 et le campus de l’EPFL.
J’attendais un passage de vélo pour valoriser l’endroit, quand cette silhouette est apparue dans mon viseur. Son habillement qui correspond avec les couleurs du passage m’a paru une opportunité plus intéressante.

The Place de Clichy is one of the few places in Paris where four arrondissements (the 8th, 9th, 17th, and 18th) meet at a single point.
It lies at the former site of the barrière de Clichy, an ancient portal in the Wall of the Farmers-General, leading to the village of Clichy, outside the wall.
In March 1814, at the close of the First French Empire, 800,000 soldiers of various foreign armies marched on Paris. After breaking through the barriers at Belleville and Pantin, they took the hill of Montmartre. Paris was protected in the north from Clichy to Neuilly, by 70,000 men of the garde nationale. In the face of the advancing enemy, the Maréchal de Moncey defended the barrière de Clichy. Moncey amassed 15,000 volunteers, tirailleurs – students from the École polytechnique and the École vétérinaire – and, despite their inexperience, valiantly resisted the Russian contingent until an armistice was declared on 30 March 1814.
A six-metre-tall bronze statue, executed by Amédée Donatien Doublemard and dedicated to de Moncey, stands on an ornate pedestal eight metres tall.

The Lisbon tramway network (Portuguese: Rede de eléctricos de Lisboa) serves the municipality of Lisbon, capital city of Portugal. In operation since 1873, it presently comprises five urban lines.
The first tramway in Lisbon entered service on 17 November 1873, as a horsecar line. On 30 August 1901, Lisbon's first electric tramway commenced operations. Within a year, all of the city's tramways had been converted to electric traction.
Up until 1959, the network of lines was further developed, and in that year it reached its greatest extent. At that time, there was a total of 27 tram lines in Lisbon, of which six operated as circle lines. As the circle lines operated in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions, each with its own route number, it is more correct to speak of a total of 24 tram routes, all of them running on 900 mm (2 ft 11 7⁄16 in) narrow gauge tram lines.
The construction of the Lisbon Metro and the expansion of the bus system began the slow decline of the network.
The five remaining lines only operate in the southern centre and west of the city. Despite the relevant tourist attraction, those lines are still very important because of sections of the city's topography that can only be crossed by small trams. Tram 15 also connects the entire western river front of the city to the centre and allows a better flow of passengers with the bus system towards an area that still is not served by the metro.
Although reports prepared by both the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich concluded that the network should be retained and even extended, the process of decline has continued. However, some work has recently been done on preparing the Carmo–Campolide line for reopening

Bastille Day is the French national holiday which is celebrated on 14 July each year. In France, it is formally called La Fête Nationale (National Celebration) and commonly le quatorze juillet (the fourteenth of July). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution. Festivities are held on the morning of 14 July, on the Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris in front of the President of the Republic.
The parade opens with cadets from the École Polytechnique, Saint-Cyr, École Navale, and so forth, then other infantry troops, then motorized troops; aviation of the Patrouille de France flies above. In recent times, it has become customary to invite units from France's allies to the parade; in 2004 during the centenary of the Entente Cordiale, British troops (the band of the Royal Marines, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, Grenadier Guards and King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery) led the Bastille Day parade in Paris for the first time, with the Red Arrows flying overhead.[1] In 2007 the German 26th Airborne Brigade led the march followed by British Royal Marines.
The president used to give an interview to members of the press, discussing the situation of the country, recent events and projects for the future. Nicolas Sarkozy, elected president in 2007, has chosen not to give it. The President also holds a garden party at the Palais de l'Elysée.
Article 17 of the Constitution of France gives the President the authority to pardon criminals, and since 1991 the President has pardoned many petty offenders (mainly traffic offences) on 14 July. In 2007, President Sarkozy declined to continue the practice
The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, commonly known as Cooper Union[11] and informally referred to, especially during the 19th century, as the Cooper Institute,[12] is a private college at Cooper Square on the border of the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Inspired in 1830 when Peter Cooper learned about the government-supported École Polytechnique in France, Cooper Union was established in 1859.[13][14] The school was built on a radical new model of American higher education based on founder Peter Cooper's fundamental belief that an education "equal to the best technology schools established"[15] should be accessible to those who qualify, independent of their race, religion, sex, wealth or social status, and should be "open and free to all."[16]
The Cooper Union originally offered free courses to its admitted students, and when a four-year undergraduate program was established in 1902, the school granted each admitted student a full-tuition scholarship. Following its own financial crisis, the school decided to abandon this policy starting in the fall of 2014 with each incoming student receiving at least a half-tuition merit scholarship, with additional school financial support.[17] The school plans to gradually reinstate full-tuition scholarships for undergraduates by the 2028–2029 academic year.[18]
The college is divided into three schools: the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture, the School of Art, and the Albert Nerken School of Engineering. It offers undergraduate and master's degree programs exclusively in the fields of architecture, fine arts (undergraduate only), and engineering. It is a member of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD).

Observations by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have taken advantage of gravitational lensing to reveal the largest sample of the faintest and earliest known galaxies in the universe. Some of these galaxies formed just 600 million years after the big bang and are fainter than any other galaxy yet uncovered by Hubble. The team has determined for the first time with some confidence that these small galaxies were vital to creating the universe that we see today.
An international team of astronomers, led by Hakim Atek of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, has discovered over 250 tiny galaxies that existed only 600-900 million years after the big bang— one of the largest samples of dwarf galaxies yet to be discovered at these epochs. The light from these galaxies took over 12 billion years to reach the telescope, allowing the astronomers to look back in time when the universe was still very young.

On the top of the Montagne, one can visit the Panthéon or the library Sainte-Geneviève, which is often full of students from La Sorbonne and other nearby universities. In the small streets of the Montagne, one can enjoy lots of bars and restaurants, for instance in the Rue Mouffetard.
The École Polytechnique used to be located on the Montagne; its former buildings are now the Ministry of Research. On the other side of the montagne lies the rue d'Ulm and the École Normale Supérieure.
Around 1110 C.E., the famous scholar/philosopher Peter Abelard set up a school on the Montagne, returning there again in 1136.

Au Canada , le 6 décembre est une date de commémoration des événements de 1989 de la Polytechnique de Université de Montréal. C'est l’occasion de revoir le chemin parcouru et celui qui reste à parcourir pour la cause des femmes. Les femmes subissent plus lourdement les impacts négatifs de la COVID-19. Un rapport récemment publié par Hébergement femmes Canada montre que depuis le début de la pandémie, la gravité de la violence à l’égard des femmes cherchant un refuge a doublée.
En 2020, la pandémie nous fait réaliser que les acquis des femmes dans le domaine de l’emploi sont moins solides que nous le pensions. Depuis le début de la pandémie, ce sont les femmes qui ont été les premières victimes, accumulant des pertes d’emploi plus de deux fois supérieures à celles des hommes. C’est encore le moment d’agir pour garantir l’égalité des chances pour toutes les femmes. (LPP)
In Canada, December 6th is a date to commemorate the 1989 events of the Polytechnique of the University of Montreal ( an armed man shot 14 women who were studying to become engineers) and is an opportunity to review the road traveled and the one that remains to be traveled for the cause of women. Women suffer more heavily from the negative impacts of COVID-19. A recent report released by Women's Shelters Canada shows that since the start of the pandemic, the severity of violence against women seeking shelter has doubled.
In 2020, the pandemic makes us realize that the achievements of women in the field of employment are less solid than we thought. Since the start of the pandemic, women have been the first victims, racking up job losses more than twice that of men. Now is the time to act to ensure equal opportunities for all women. (LPP)

The Rolex Learning Center will function as a laboratory for learning, a library with 500,000 volumes and an international cultural hub for EPFL, open to both students and the public. Spread over one single fluid space of 20,000 sq metres, it provides a seamless network of services, libraries, information gathering, social spaces, spaces to study, restaurants, cafes and beautiful outdoor spaces. It is a highly innovative building, with gentle slopes and terraces, undulating around a series of internal ‘patios’, with almost invisible supports for its complex curving roof, which required completely new methods of construction.
These University of Toronto engineering students were celebrating Frosh Week in the water at Nathan Phillips Square in September 2017. I post their picture today as a tribute to the women (all but one engineering students) who were shot to death thirty years ago today at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, simply because they were women, by an anti-feminist shooter who then killed himself.

2018- There are photographs that we won't forget and lens that we will never sell.
I looked at tens of thousands of pics and read a lot of forum about Canon L lenses.
The 85L or the 50L may be the object of debate and controversy, the 135L dominates, it's the Lord of the Red Ring
Im' very attached to this piece of steel and glass.
The 135L is a real boost for the creators , even beginners.
The vignetting at F2 is one of personality characteristics and I recommend to desactivate the optical correction in Lightroom.
The focal length of 135mm isn't always easy to use indoor but this is forcing us to re-think and adapt framing. Chose to create !!
This lens will be a great tool to capture discreetly show, concerts in low light

You can use the 135L with Canon 1,4 extender (200mm @ 2,8) for not fearful animals
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/27452114387
And what about 85L ?
It was create for portrait or fashion shooting in studio and it's not easy to use outdoor because hard higlights often produce strange colors skin.
In museum , the 85L is really great with 3d pop effect, the best result i've ever seen.
And 50L?
Many used in wedding photograph, it's a good complement to the 135L with the same render.
With the new and very expansive 50mm RF, you can find 50 L « cheap » in second hand.
I bought 50L twice ;-) before the Leica 50mm Summilux in 2018
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/47644784091/
Today, I personally think, the main problem is the 50mm focal length...
Often too long for architecture (35mm is really better choice for travel) and not adapted for portrait.
You alway must be careful not be too closed to the subject, the 85mm, 100mm or 135mm gives best results for portrait or little objects.
In conclusion, the 135L is an old lense which was presented for the first time in 1996.
in 2019, the lord of the ring is still a dream lens which can resolve 5dsr (50 megapixels) with high level of sharpness and … poetic sweetness

Photo prise avant-hier soir (le 6 décembre 2019) à l’endroit où 14 faisceaux lumineux illuminaient le ciel montréalais rendant hommage aux 14 femmes tuées le 6 décembre 1989 à l'École polytechnique de Montréal. Ce soir-là, un homme ouvre le feu sur vingt-huit personnes, tuant quatorze femmes et blessant quatorze autres personnes (10 femmes et 4 hommes) Les crimes ont été perpétrés en moins de vingt minutes à l'aide d'une carabine obtenue légalement. Le tueur dit: « Vous êtes des femmes, vous allez devenir des ingénieures. Vous n'êtes toutes qu'un tas de féministes, je hais les féministes. » L'anniversaire de la tuerie est devenu la journée nationale de commémoration et d'action contre la violence faite aux femmes.
Photo taken friday night (December 6, 2019) where 14 light beams were illuminating Montreal's sky honoring the 14 women killed December 6, 1989 at the École polytechnique de Montréal. That night, a man opened fire on twenty-eight people, killing fourteen women and wounding fourteen others (10 women and four men). The crime was carried out in less than twenty minutes with a rifle obtained. legally. The killer says, "You are women, you will become engineers. You are all a bunch of feminists, I hate feminists. "
The anniversary of the killing became the national day of commemoration and action against violence against women.
Een van de 22 Duewag/Vevey/ABB-voertuigen onderweg op de in 1991 geopende lijn tussen Lausanne Flon en Renens Gare, in de buurt van de École Polytechnique EPFL. Samen met de ook langs de lijn gelegen universiteit UNIL vormde die de aanleiding voor de aanleg ervan.
Tram of metro? Aanvankelijk stond de enkelsporige lijn met wisselplaatsen bekend als Tramway Sud-Ouest Lausannois (TSOL); het materieel heeft ongeveer de maat van de Duitse Stadtbahn B. Zonder dat er iets aan lijn of materieel is veranderd is het tegenwoordig metrolijn m1. Daardoor past het bij metrolijn m2, een 'echte' voornamelijk ondergrondse metro met treinstellen op rubberbanden naar Parijs' model. Alleen rijden in Lausanne geen zes- maar tweewagenstellen.
