Après la galère, la beauté


The reward for chaos is sheer beauty. I was lucky to be able to work from home so at lunchtime I sneaked out yesterday and this was what I saw on Avenue de Saint-Cloud.

La récompense du chaos, la beauté pure. J'ai eu la chance de pouvoir télétravailler hier, alors entre midi et deux, voici ce que j'ai vu Avenue de Saint-Cloud.

  3. I must admit that this is truly magnificent! What a delightful day it must have been. I can smell that fresh, clean air and the crunch of foot on fresh snow.

  4. Wow! Well worth it, I'd say. Your top pic is stunning. Nothing like a fresh blanket of snow and a bright blue sky to brighten up the scenery. Glad you got to work from home -- well deserved after yesterday's ordeal.

  5. See, I told you you live in a fairytale land! :) And yay, you got to stay home, that in itself is worth the snow!

  6. Gorgeous in France but not seen here yet at all. The world's weather seems to get more and more irregular. Driving home tonight, I heard a news story on the radio about the effect of higher temperatures and less rain on farmers in Mexico. Much of Europe is in the freezer. There's no place safe.

  7. Isn't it amazing how clear and beautiful the sky is after a nasty storm? Versailles looks like it came from a fairy tale.

  9. Yes I don't blame you for the rant. You could have made better time walking! Interesting comment about chaos transformed to beauty. I'm glad you were able to see both sides - and share the better half!

  11. Vive le télétravail, cela nous offre de belle photo. La neige c'est magique, cela embellit tout, j'adore (et puis c'est amusant, tu vois plein de gens sortir leur APN et faire plein de photos sous la neige). Et puis apres la ballade sous la neige, un bon vin chaud ;o) Bon Weekend

  25. Das war doch eine angemessene Belohnung für das Chaos am Tag zuvor?! Dies sind die schönsten Tage des Winters und ich liebe sie sehr. Wunderbar, wie diese Allee in ihrer winterlichen Pracht zu sehen ist. Liebe Grüße von Luzia.

  27. A nuisance it may be but it does make the whole place look rather special.
