Beautiful Brixton Market - Part One
In chilly usually gray old Blighty
what a nice surprise!
When you step out of the train at Brixton, the market is right there.
It's a sweet and glorious mashup
of Victorian arcades, eating places, fruit-fish-and-veg markets
but especially SPECIALLY Afro-Caribbean colors, flavors and sounds.
It was definitely one of the very best spent days
You might feel the same.

London - Not As Photographed by Vivian Maier But I Hope You Like
In the West End, near Regent Street.
On Fulham Road. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is a mad car scene.
Lincoln's Inn Fields in technicolor glory.
King Street, Hammersmith
Someone to watch over me - on Adie Street, H'smith.
A way to live an Oasis-ey kind of life in Covent Garden.
Lamb's Conduit Street across from the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital
Russell Street Tube Station
*** Has anyone else seen the Vivian Maier movie or any of the exhibits of her work? I just saw the movie. What pictures!

For Fun, For Easter
So the Paradis family only got back from London on Wednesday
and we are not religious much so the Holiday sort of caught me by surprise. Well, I mean the frantic crowds at the supermarket on Thursday did! Here are some different celebrations of Easter that are more suited to me. (Though I know many of you are eating something very special this weekend and I am all for that!)
I don't know this for sure, but I've decided that these are Easter bonnets, and yes I'd like one.
(All pics via Petit Cabinet de Curiosite)
It is spring after all and it would not be Passage Paradis if there weren't flowers in the mix.
Hope it was a lovely one. However you spent your weekend.

North Beach Impressions - San Francisco
I know, I know.......
Why haven't I posted these photos of North Beach before?
Maybe because I have three times this many of them.
It was so hard to go through and make a coherent narrative.
It's such a rich and lively place of contrasts - East and West
old and new
chic and charming
humble and haute.
Where to begin, what to say?
Except that I love it all.
And I worry that this part of San Francisco is endangered......
by Silicon Success. It's progress, they say. "It happens."
Has San Francisco been made a UNESCO world heritage site yet? It should be, don't you think?
