L’Escalier du Roy d’Aragon, Bonifacio

And now it's my turn to show you something else than Paris! This picture was taken in the south of Corsica. The stairs were digged directly into the cliff, probably in the 15th century.

Kind of chilly


Pigeon near the Seine, Paris 1

Sorry, I know that I promessed you pictures from Paris, and all you can see is the 1st arrondissement. I've got a sprained ankle (4 weeks now) and I can't go to take other pictures, so you've got to do with what I have under my eyes when I go to work... I hope I'll change that soon!
