Restored Michigan Central Station and a Church in Paris

[Kathleen]

Canuck! The Grillmaster and I saw the Anders Zorn exhibition at the Petit Palais. Zorn is quite the artist...portraitist on par with John Singer Sargent... and wonderful at capturing scenes.

I agree that the Beaux Arts style of the Petit Palais looks like inspiration for the Michigan Central Station. Thanks for the photo, Gistok! Reminds me of an evening when we strolled Paris after dark to see the buildings and monuments lit up.

You and Gistok!?!?

Homey don't grill... except if it's indoors on my Forman Grill.

Kathleen's husband was the grillmaster, he rustled up some good grillin' at the old Forum Picnic's.... gawd I miss those... and some of the folks such as Sumas, Django, Gannon, and others no longer with us...

But as for Paris... what happens in Paris... stays in Paris...

Thanks for the laugh! I can see that I should have been clearer in my use of "we" there!!

Thanks, Gistok, too for clarifying! Yes...the DYes picnic days of yore were a lot of fun!!

My apologies to Kathleen, The Grill Master, and Gistok. I was in a jovial mood last night and couldn't resist. Glad my comment was taken as intended.

Yes, a great artist, and famous for his limited colour palette, [[Zorn palette) which another but contemporary scandinavian artist uses: Odd Nerdrum.

Thanks, Canuck, for the tip. I've never heard of Odd Nerdrum, so will check out his work.

You may find him unsettling, his stuff is pretty powerful. Weird and wonderful stuff.
