DRIVING AROUND FRANCE WITH A CAMERA THAT LEAKS TOO MUCH LIGHT FROM THE OUTSIDE-IN.

Today, after feeding the cats and finishing my usual chores, I felt a bit bored so I went driving around another country, a country that I visited only once before.

In this opening shot, you can see how a small seaside town not far from the border with Italy looks when dramatically overexposed.
The place is called Menton and I never heard about it before. That's a shame becouse it is a beautiful old town resembling the Rovinj town in my country.

I was in a mood for coffee when I reached Digne-les-Bains. In this overexposed shot, you can't see the town's historic center but you can maybe imagine it appearing on the milk-white surface of the rectangle in front of you.

I had orange juice and coffee in the place called Le Bar Fred'. In this set of four photographs, I'm showcasing its overexposed interior.

I had a great time in Paris. The weather was nice just like the Restaurant La Mosquée de Paris (see the above photograph) where I ate Tagine vegetarien.

I photographed like crazy there in Paris, you know. I photographed so many things. Arc de Triomphe. Tour Eiffel. Panthéon. Street sweeper in some side street. The lady in somber gray & black clothes collecting a piece of shit after her Maltese dog in a pink sweater. I photographed the fallen leaves, the tops of the trees, and a wide variety of cars driving me by. You can try to see all that stuff in this exuberant set of twelve overexposed photographs.

This is Dijon. Ah, what a lovely city Dijon is. It's hard to describe but I took a photograph so it isn't that hard to show.

Here, in this set of six enlargeable photographs, I'm presenting some lovely, overexposed details of the city's amazing architecture.

Always in Dijon, in the place called Cafe de L'Industrie, shown in the above, overexposed photograph, I had another coffee.

Barbirey-sur-Ouche is a lovely village about twenty kilometers from Dijon. I took four photographs there.

Here you would have been able to see the town of Avallon if my camera had been working properly.

I photographed the imposing 15th-century gateway and clocktower ...

... the 12th-century Collegiale Church of Saint-Lazare...

... and some dude walking two whippet dogs across the main square.

In this set of six overexposed photographs, I'm exposing the fabulous town of Auxerre. After being exposed to this overexposed experience, I'm sure you'll love Auxerre.

This is Paris again. Ah, Paris, tra-la-la-la.

This is the city of Le Havre.

Among many things that this major port offers to casual visitors, there are some bars. The News Bar is the one with the coolest name in town.

(Enlargeable)

I sat down two times inside the News Bar. First to get a cup of coffee, and then ...

(Enlargeable)

... to get some coffee-induced shit done in the bar's well-kept toilet. It was a remarkably clean toilet. I had to take twelve photographs to show all its splendor.

In Nantes, I saw the Château des ducs de Bretagne and a girl with a Sponge Bob-shaped balloon.

After a short dinner in Montpellier, I drove straight back home. I have no more overexposed photographs to show, so the post must end here.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS EPIC JOURNEY. AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.

I thought about pinning the post to the Pinmapple map, but I visited so many places today, just one pin isn't enough. You can't pin an entire country, right? I mean you probably can, but it doesn't look right, right?
