Marseille

It’s been a while since my last post and oddly enough the blog has been getting more hits in my absence. These days I haven’t had much time to edit photos but here’s the one I did get my hands on. This is a pano shot of Marseille from Notre Dame de la Garde, which opens up a fantastic view of many parts of the city. Thanks to my very kind friend I got to spend christmas in Marseille and if my experience is anything to judge by the bad rep Marseille gets in France is not fully justified. To me it seemed a very diverse city with a lot of character and open people. I’ll be surely going back for more 🙂

Neoclassical Pavilion

It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve returned to my apartment in France more than a month ago and it’s only now that I finally got internet. I guess Internet providers have their own idea of what’s an acceptable waiting time.

This photo is form the Parc (Jardin) del Laberint d’Horta in the north of Barcelona in the district of Horta-Guinardó. The name of the park gives it away that this particular pavilion isn’t the major attraction, but I still find it to be interesting. Apparently the whole area belonged to one family.

Climbing in Ariège

The other day, thanks to a friend of mine, I made it out of Toulouse for a day of climbing. I can’t say I’m great at it but it’s always a lot of fun. Here’s a view from the top of the climb.

Beach Days

September has barely come but the weather here in Midi-Pyrénées seems to be too eager to leave the summer sun behind. I  hope it’ll change it’s mind but for now to counter the clouds I feel like posting something from the beach.
