Tour de France is over. Roll on next time.

Happy Bastille Day.

I thought you would be watching, M D. 

Rain Shadow ..... I didn't watch today because it was Dusseldorf to Liege. Once they are on French soil I'll be glued. One year the tour came through the next village to our home, a tiny place called St Laurent de la Cabrerisse. It was a great day. My abiding memory is of the smell of suntan cream on the cyclists and the number of people handing over bottles of water. Part of the route is on the roads through the alps. I've driven those roads and I'm amazed that the cyclists can climb so high. Alpe d'Huez is steep and like a corkscrew. My biggest disappointment was finding out about Lance Armstrong but these things happen.

M D, I trust you are following the Tour De France? http://cdn.cyclingstage.com/images/tour-de-france/2017/route.jpg

Beautiful view on the direct link, especially on x1 view size http://sidecam.obspm.fr/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=331

Yes!

I like him.

Congratulations, Monsieur Macron.

 This is one of my favorites, so the bugs can do their thing, i believe in sharing the planet and cams with all life forms.

Why, why, why, do these bugs have to crawl all over this cam like they own it?  Or am I having a Kafka...?

Beautiful.   Indeed, the City of Light.

I love Paris.
