Old twisty streets






























Looking a these pictures again reminded me of one winter, many years ago. We went skiing in Utah and driving into Salt Lake City that day after the biggest snow storm was an incredible feeling. It was a year when Utah experienced the greatest amount of snow. There was snow everywhere, the roof tops, the trees, anything and everything and in the misty afternoon sun, the whole thing looked and felt like being in a picture postcard. It felt surreal and was the most beautiful feeling. These pictures of pastel colored buildings has the same surreal look and feeling. It didn't looked or felt as beautiful as now, looking at it through the camera lens. It is beautiful. This is the reason why we go to Europe. Old Europe is so different from new Southern California and a change of scenery is so needed.
Being at the border with Belgium, Lille, France has a very Flemish flair to it. We did enjoy our brief interlude in Lille, France
