Carnet de voyage - Alsace (October 2007)

Minimalist visual notebook about the last trip with my friend Sergey.
I’ll be glad to share it also with all the visitors,
who kindly feel like dropping to these pages.

"I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them."
~Mark Twain~

The traveller sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.
Tourists don't know where they've been, travellers don't know where they're going.

The last page of the note book - Good Bye, Strasbourg!	A story to be told...	The last of our sunrises in Strasbourg...	A last beer in Place du Marché-Gayot...
Maybe this church is a little jealous of the Cathedral...	Strolling along the river Ill...	Looking for Place du Marché-Gayot...	What are those bicycles doing????
The cathedral remains a point of reference...	Far from the tourists' crowd...	"Oh, I don't want you might think I'm foggy" Nancy said	There are special parking lots, suitable for flying bycicles...
We are not alone anymore...	Morning mist is fading away...	Inside the church of St. Epvre	Blue and beige are the colours
The richness of gates....	Nancy welcomes us veiled by mist...	Back to Strasbourg...Let's be Epicurean	It's time to leave Colmar...
Postcard from the past...	Petals and autumn leaves...	Suddenly...	Hush, hush...don't disturb the birds...
By boat...	We might take a boat too...	An amazing, but pleasant feeling of "deja vu"...	From archway to archway...
I had told myself: "No classical photos of Cathedrals..."	The little old houses are always there, at their place...	Gliding over the peaceful canals of "The Little Venice"	Fairy....
All change, but it seems that my tastes are quite consistent	The way it was, the way it is, the way it will be....	Back to Colmar once again...	Breakfast in red.
A merry-go-round for Herr Gutenberg.	Christmas decoration for giants...	All dressed in pink and blue...	Rue de la Râpe...
Foie gras...	If there is a spirit of the houses...	What is an Alsation "Winstub" like?	Where shall we go for dinner today?
Sergey Nikolaevich Merzlikin is a smoker...	Time present and time past	Because Claudia asked me how...	Out of the window there is a big postcard...
Living in a pinkish tower...	The pink fingers of dawn...	The faces of the night...	Encounter....
The comforting essence of little rituals

Un superbe petit carnet de voyage Marisa. Il ne suffit pas de prendre une photo.. il faut en faire ressentir le "feeling" à la persone qui la regarde et tu as merveilleusement bien réussi ce défi photographique... Une belle restitution dse endroits et de L,atmosphère qui y règne. Brillante réalisation ! Bravo ...et avec des textes délicieux par surcroît !

I thorougly enjoyed taking this journey with you, Marisa. Your affection for this region and its history is expressed exquisitely in your art and the accompanying words. Thank you for sharing with us an intimate part of who you are and where your heart lives.

Marvelous gallery!! V

Amazingly creative Marisa. You never cease to amaze all the senses. The additional commentary really does add to each image. I especially agree with your Mark Twain quote. We do really get to know people when we travel, and we really get to know people through their pbase galleries. I especially appreciate people as yourself who feel comfortable to share their private moments and private thoughts with us mere photographers :)! Big VOTE for this wonderful journal of your travels.

Voila un carnet de voyage qui commence bien avec une réflexion très juste: "Il n'y a pas de meilleur moyen pour voir si l'on aime ou si l'on déteste une personne que de voyager avec elle..." En regardant ce sympathique petit train, j'ai la bonne impression que ce voyage devrait bien se passer... En avant donc pour la découverte de cette galerie. Jean-Paul
