View of Loch Lomond along the West Highland Way. Another hiker happened to climb to the top of the next hill just as I was about to descend Conic Hill.
It’s a BIG world out there

People of Paris #12
People of Paris #12 features Pigeon Man, also known as the Pigeon Whisperer. It appears as though the gentleman is not thrilled with his role in life and may be thinking that this is one crappy job.
Located in the Notre Dame Cathedral square, there is some history behind this practice. The original Pigeon Man of Notre Dame, Pierre Pradeau came almost every day after his retirement to feed the birds, until he passed away on December 13th, 2009.
This image shows love and kindness for his feathered friends…
It’s all in the attitude, right?

People of Paris #10…
Paris street food…we didn’t try the “Ho Dog.” Opted for a French crepe, instead.
You can probably guess that we were NOT in a swanky, high class part of the city. Still, our crepes were yummy filled with local flavor in more ways than one.

People of Paris #9… Wonder Hero?
People of Paris #9 spot goes to this costumed Spiderman wonder hero all bundled up and sitting with his donation cup in hand, mostly appearing to sleep. Busy night of fighting crime?

People of Paris #8… Beggars of Notre Dame
Yes, I did donate to their cause after snapping this photo. Felt like the fair thing to do… scam or not.

People of Paris #7
The bell ringer signals the closing of Montmartre Cemetery (Cimetiere Montmartre) which was first opened in 1825.
The Paris cemetery was developed in the old lime quarries situated at the foot of the Butte Montmartre, spanned by the Pont Caulaincourt, a metal bridge built in 1888. Several steps lead you down to the cemetery and the stairway smells strongly of urine (as does the metro stairways) so it apparently serves multiple purposes.

People of Paris #6… Parrot and Conversation
The “Lady in Red” puts down her accordion and stops to amuse an equally colorful parrot while the vendor strikes up a conversation.

People of Paris #5… Gizzards and Potatoes
Hungry? Try some chicken gizzards and Noirmoutier potatoes, the “Rolls Royce” of potatoes, named for the French region it is grown. There’s no doubt as to who is in charge of this business found in the Paris Farmers’ Market.
