Some more pictures from Paris and Belgium. Makes me dwell on what statues and monuments would be raised in my world.
Chapel for Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI. Picture done in black and white. It looks like a face to me. Paris stares back.

Paris
24 NOV 17
Traveled to Paris recently. Great city. Had a great time with the wife, got to see the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, and some of the other spots. No Louvre though. Took some great photos and experienced many things that will eventually appear in future stories. Some of the photos might become book covers or inside illustrations. Here are a few:
Two edits of trees in a row. Not sure which one I like better. The blue is very fantastic for me, but the original is also very nice, great Parisian feel.

Walking around the city made me think of the band Supertramp, and their album Live in Paris. The song Breakfast in America in particular. Good stuff. We both hope to make it back to Paris someday.

Americana
12 NOV 17
Americana. That quintessential essence that makes America what it is. Pictures of baseball, football, apple pie, surfing, jumping in a watering hole, Norman Rockwell paintings, BBQs, everything from the East Coast to the West and all the states in between, people of all colors, Alaska and Hawai'i, etc...
Here is a picture that illustrates what Americana means to me: a older gentlemen seated outside a building in downtown Natchitoches, LA, an American flag prominently on display nearby. I don't know what nationality he is, but it doesn't matter, does it? America is made up of all sorts of nationalities.
The town of Natchitoches has a very interesting history. It was originally founded as a French fort near the western border with Spanish territory.
In my stories I will convey different 'feels' for each country, letting the reader experience what makes the differing countries and nations unique.
