It rains in my heart As it rains on the town,
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville ;
Quelle est cette langueur
Qui pénètre mon coeur ?
It rains in my heart
As it rains on the town,
What languor so dark
That it soaks to my heart?
P. Verlaine
this second pic is not spectacular and i guess that most of the tourists have never seen it . however it very SYMBOLIC to me
it is Sainte Genevieve Statute at Pont de la Tournelle. Sainte Genevieve is the Paris 'patron saint. she protected Paris against Huns' invasion in 451
.
thanks to the purists for the homage

Friday WristScan 20th of November: Paris Roll Call – the City of Light, the City of Love!
Friends, This week, let’s put a focus on what Paris is most well-known for: being the City of Light and Love! Please come join us with a photo of your watch in Paris or one you would like to bring there or one you associate or... For me, Paris is a magica...
Yet to photograph a watch in Paris but still wanted to participate
So added a bit of Paris myself ...
Charming drawing KM!! and lovely Seiko of course...
... I wish you will visit Paris soon! Such a lovely charming City! All the best, Abel.
Wish so, too
Used to go almost every year with my wife, but not been since 2011 or so. Hopefully soon again
Part time impressionist at best ;)
But thanks for the encouragement - although, be careful what you are encouraging me towards
Here's an offer
I am happy to draw one for everyone who comes visit in Vienna - how's that?
You were going to check whether Vienna works...
But did not get back to me on it yet. But I am definitely up for a Zagreb event myself - this year could prove difficult but next year is wide open
Yes Vienna didn't work out
I apologize sincerely for not dropping a note it is very hectic lately Looks like this year we will be friends only virtually but we have all next year ahead We must make it Once more sorry for forgetting to PM you D
No worries
It is hectic enough with our one child, so I can imagine that with three sometimes things fall off the radar. So no apologies necessary - looking forward to those cevapi and grappa!
Sorry for the double post
Not sure how that happened Glad you like my improvised Paris
You can have it either way; I rotated the second one
Editorial services, at your service. Cheers, Cazalea
You're a star!
Thank you so much! Hope this now looks a bit more natural in terms of orientation, not sure it does much for my drawing skills, though
Glas you enjoyed it :)
Was fairly unhappy for not having any appropriate pictures, while really wanting to take part - so decided to make my own
You mean this place?
Who is in the car? Who is chasing? Ahh...the two Usual Suspects And the usual table. And what did i find last time in Paris? Light and love, eh? ...
Nice Calatrava Joe
Never thought such a dial existed. Must be impressive in the metal Cheers, Mark
I didn't know it existed either....
....i saw it in Paris, and the dealer had bought a number of watches from the same family. It came with its original unworn Gay Freres white metal strap and its original box, I had never seen a dial like it. I had to make it mine. I sent it to Patek for s...
A treasure indeed
The joy of seeking watches and sometimes finding something extra-ordinary Glad for you Joe, that's a very cool story and ending Cheers, Mark
a Paris
These will be with me when I visit. Does anyone know Mlle. Seydoux? Maybe? ...
what a pair! I am stunned.
I absolutely adore the GP Foudroyante. I havent seen the Geophysic in metal yet, but it looks phantastic. Enjoy this great pair! Stefan
Terrific post, my dear Blomman. Thank you.
Going after you will be a tough game. I will try... Best, Nicolas

Paul Verlaine's ode prompts . . .
. . . a serenade from our shores. The Kingston Trio, 1960 Affection for France runs deep here, contrary to popular convention. Glad you were able to join us, Pierre. Art
