Greetings from Paris.
As you know, I love this city but I have serious reservations about coffee here. There's no such thing as French Roast as it's an American invention. Here they all have is Italian espresso makers with which they make what they believe to be coffee, a watered down black coffee that is totally undrinkable. All is macchiato, caffelatte, espresso and cappuccino. None of which resembles the real ones. A cultural offense. Arriving from Italy where one has to kneel in front of the espresso, Paris is a total let down. The food is OK but unless one goes for the pretentious, its average. But it's still Paris. What can I say. The metro is the best in the world and the museums rule. Here is a photo I just shot in Versailles. It's easy to see why the French revolution took place even though there are very few examples of fraternite', equalite' and liberte' visible. Plus ca change plus est la meme chose. C'est la vie.

Sicilian cart panels
There are still those who adhere to traditions here in Sicily. These close ups of panels from traditional Sicilian carts are from a recent parade held for tourists and residents who now see these as curiosities, It wasn't long ago when the cart was the main transportation in this island. Most weren't this fancy. I will post more images soon of people on these carts. It's sufficient to say that they are real works of folk art.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
