Picture of the (erm) Day: The Tropics!

Welcome to Tropical France, featuring both palm trees and lens flare!

This was taken in the courtyard of the building across the street from me. It probably used to be a nunnery (sorry, I'm tired of the word convent, plus nunnery is so much more... vivid).

I was waiting for an exhibition on Greek and Etruscan pottery to open (yeah, I live it up here, you know), and realized that I had just been transplanted to Tahiti or something. It looks warm, right? It was actually about 40 degrees outside. Which should teach you all one thing: PICTURES LIE! Especially MY PICTURES!
