Glamorous Cannes...

Thanks for all your comments on the last post! :-D I realize that, as a European, I'm blessed to have all of these wonderful, semi-exotic locations within a very short distance (London, Paris, Milan, Rome, Florence, Nice, Cannes, Luxembourg, Monaco, Barcelona, Seville...you get the picture. *grins*). And yes: Cannes does have its glamorous sides (see any postcard). However, I decided to go about documenting the less glamorous sides - such as I see them when I walk down to the boulangerie (bakery, for the non-francophiles) in the morning to get baguettes (yes, ordinarily the butler would get the bread, but I enjoy mingling with the common people... *grins*).

But enough by the way of introduction: I give you the flipside of Cannes!

Security, Cannes-style. This will deter any and all would-be trespassers. Maybe.


With a plate like this, you would think the guy's saving up for a VW...?


A nicer view - and the more observant viewer will be able to distinguish the bread-running photographer... :-)


I guess this is as close as you can live to someone without living with them...?

The End

It's done. I'm finished. It's over. 6 years of my life have passed, and shortly I will be on the receiving end of a diploma, stating that I have an M.Sc. in Business Administration and Computer Science - or cand.merc.(dat.) as it's called in Danish. And it feels...strange? A little empty? As if somehow, it's not quite real just yet. So in an effort to attempt to make it real, the family's packed our bags, and gone to Cannes for 3 weeks. If that doesn't work, I may just have to go out and get a job?!? ;-)

Have a great summer - I may blog some more from down here, but don't count on it... :-)
