The annual "Sunday Parkways Southwest" event was held about a block south of my home. It didn't rain (much), so a nice day for a walk or bike ride.

After the Olympics, Paris's parks are very well-kept and beautiful. But they've started continuing with construction throughout the city, and traffic is a real problem. The mayor wants to reduce the number of cars; I'm not sure how, but right now it takes twice as long to get to places. It was a work/business trip, so I didn't have time to take many photos. I hope to return soon with more time because it's always a culturally important city.

This is the North window at Hexham Abbey, taken from the top of the night stairs. For anyone with a compulsive need for symmetry and order, Hexham Abbey is a nightmare; almost nothing is aligned with what sensibility says ought to be aligned. So, the main arch is out of kilter with the roof, which in turn is out of kilter with the window...and the window is not central within the wall framing! I tried to make sure I was dead straight on to the window; if I was, it also looks like the left and right walls are not at right-angles to the window wall...
