Lyon

Hailstorm over Lyon

We had our first hail storm of the season this week.

Stained Glass Metro

Some metro stations are prettier than others.

Aerial Acrobatics on the Library

A platform suspended from the top of the 3e municipal library in Lyon became a stage yesterday. A performer entertained onlookers as traffic passed by unknowing beneath.

After the Rain

A beautiful photo looking down Cours Lafayette towards the centre of Lyon. Unadjusted and unedited, the colour is as I saw it.

Lighter

An early train and a sunrise run - two signs the days are getting longer.

Street Tree Felling

The trees along Cours Lafayette have been cut down. The view down the street has been dramatically altered.

Winter Daffodils

Daffodils! In the middle of January!

Nutty Squirrel

A loud red squirrel caught my attention in the park. Camera always on hand, I zoomed in and we watched it nibble away.

Christmas Lights in Lyon

After a subdued festival of lights, Lyon’s Christmas lights were particularly welcome this year.

Christmas Village in a Garden Centre

Our local Botanic garden centre has a Christmas Village. Still a shop but a fun outing on a Sunday in December.
