Word-of-Day-Challenge-Native
~~~~~
native
a person born in a specified place
or associated with a place by birth,
whether subsequently resident there or not.
My guess would be that there were not many
Parisién or French natives (in general)…
…in this queue at Palace of Versailles.

Cee-BW-Challenge-Signs
~~~~~
Signs which are
self explanatory,
I hope.
I don’t remember taking this shot
and have never before, or since,
laid eyes on this bus.
However, according to my filing system
it was taken in Melbourne.
This was about as far as a DSLR camera could go.
Pocket size cameras and phones
were okay, I believe.
A Tea Room on the
Western Front Battlefields
of France.
.
Self explanatory?
All day we were hearing about Whistler
and all day I was thinking
‘…I’ve heard that name before…’
However, only made the connection upon arrival.
Fun fact.
We were told that recent summer sports had
overtaken, economically, winter sports
on/at Whistler.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Unlikely
~~~~~
unlikely
not likely to happen, be done, or be true; improbable.
When planning our time in Paris…
…it was highly unlikely that I
would not visit the Eiffel Tower…
…or visit the Moulin Rouge which was
a wonderful dinner and show.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge-Roofs
~~~~~
Roofs from everywhere.
Beginning with a Carousel roof
in Beaune, France.
Still in Beaune a Band Rotunda.
Another Beaune image
taken through window,
I suspect.
Moving on to Paris and
this image captured from
the Eiffel Tower.
Sadly I also suspect that this is a section of the
Notre Dame de Paris roof
that is no more….or at least badly damaged.
The roof/ceiling of Platform 9 and 3/4.
If you are a Harry Potter fan you will
know that this can be found in
London’s King’s Cross Station.
Somewhat closer to home
an Arcade roof in Melbourne
Back in Geelong, the slate roof of a Church.
I commenced with a Carousel an now
I will end with another,
The Geelong Carousel.
Many years ago we named the
foreground artwork, ‘The Sharks Teeth’
Too many ‘Jaws’ movies I think.
Only found out this year that
they are actually sailing boats.
Even though I have seen this type of boat
on the Bay several times there was no connection
I think they always will be the ‘Sharks Teeth’ 🙂

~~~~~
irrefutable
impossible to deny or disprove.
It would be irrefutable to argue…
that this image was taken anywhere but in Paris.
