13 July and this is what the traditional Bastille Day 'people's ball' on Notre-Dame market place looked like. I did not stay nor did I wait until 11:00 pm for the fireworks, though I did hear them from home. How dismal can summer get?! To see last year's ball and fireworks, click on the 'Bastille Day' label below!13 juillet, bal populaire sur la place du marché Notre-Dame. Je ne suis pas restée ni n'ai attendu 23 h pour voir le feu d'artifice qui je crois a malgré tout été tiré, puisque je l'ai entendu de la maison. L'été décidément est bien triste. Pour voir les photos du bal et du feu d'artifice de l'année dernière, cliquez sur le tag "Bastille Day" ci-dessous.
Oh the summer you're having - it's late autumn, more like! I peeked & last year's photos are so gorgeous. I hope the weather clears so you get a *real* summer (yes, we got lucky on Sunday, it stormed insanely later :).
ReplyDeleteHeres hoping that the weather picks up on both side of the Channel xxx
ReplyDeletehmmm...nächstes Jahr wird´s besser. Versprochen.
ReplyDeleteEinen guten Dienstag dir.
Sorry that your summer has been so terrible weather-wise. It's been extremely hot and dry here, which sometimes isn't so nice either. Hope you had a nice Bastille Day anyway. :)
ReplyDeletePS: I've got a working computer now!!
les grands esprits se rencontrent, c'est la fete aux parapluie chez nos deux daily. Un 13 Juillet bien tristounet...
ReplyDeleteThis just is not fair, Ciel. There are droughts in many other places.
ReplyDeleteSorry. We'll take it. It would cure our drought.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! What bad weather for this celebration.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is the pits!! Right now it looks like the Olympics may face the same problem if the weather doesn't change soon! Your photo says it all, Ciel!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a striking difference. We are absolutely roasting. The center of our country is in a severe drought. Welcome to climate change.
ReplyDeleteJe t'envoie un gors rayon de soleil du fond du coeur!
ReplyDeletePS: ici, feu d'artifice à 22h!Plus de temps pour la fiesta après?..
il parle de tirer le feu d'artifice à la toussaint
ReplyDeleteThis is not good. It does not look like fun. It looks very wet and rather chilly.
ReplyDeleteWe usually get thunderstorms in the afternoon because of the clash of cooler air coming off the Gulf of Mexico with the hot air of the day. But our mornings have been very nice. So, I'm off to the golf course.
Take care and stay dry!
The weather pattern is just crazy!! Some places drenched others in drought, what's going on!!
ReplyDeleteIf we could trade our weather for a few days, I would!
ReplyDeleteThe fireworks in Paris were great, the weather was good as it gets during the monsoon...
