Who and why
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments.

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

This oozes charm, too. Just as Jilly's does over at Menton. Remarkably similar in composition.
This is a great shot because of the surprise cycle. Wonder what's behind the curtains...
So very charming! Great title :)
Puke! I hate those kind of curtains. They seem to be ubiquitous in France and Switzerland. I was forced to hang some up when I lived in Angers.
I lived in an apartment that formerly was a shop. It was on the ground floor and had a giant storefront window in the living room. People walking by would look right in - so I had to find some curtains.
The old hag across the street even came over once and said, "You know I can see in your window." As if I didn't know that! I sometimes thought of putting a flashing red light in my window and dancing for her enjoyment. Who knows what she would have said then!
PS: I hope those aren't you favorite type of curtains. No offense meant, of course! :)
I love this photo ..very charming scene! I like the contrast between the lace curtains and the motorcycle.
I want to see a picture of the old hag that Halcyon mentions now…
I like very much. Curtains are beautifil. Though the shutters are very old this window is nice.
Julie: Must get over to Jilly's to see.
K-girl: I was upset about the bike at first, but then decided to exploit it.
Tanya: Glad you like it. :-)
Hal: You made me laugh out loud! Angers in France, right? I don't think there's one in CH.
Hope: Thank you!
Kris: Me too!
Claude: I'm glad you like it.
It's too bad I didn't get a shot of the hag while she was sitting in her living room staring into my window!
Yes, it was Angers in France. I went to the university there for my master's.
Dastardly motorcycles are everywhere.
