Back in Paris – at least for a while. Sorry for being absent from blogging for a too long time.
In Sweden, I was too busy to have the opportunity to do some real photographing, but at least here is a proof that I was there.
This is a statue, called “Poseidon”, which you can find in front of the Gothenburg Art Museum (and the Hasselblad Centre). The statue (by Carl Milles) which stands here since 1931 has become something like a symbol of the city.
I wish you a nice weekend!

Hi Peter, It's great to see a post from you. I love this very impressive statue and fountain.
Welcome back. You were missed. Hope all is well in both Sweden and Paris.
Impressive statue. Hasselblad? As in the lovely camera Hasselblad? It's the Porche of cameras.
I will be back in Paris on the 1st of October.
Hi peter,
I missed you and your blog too, but I'm pleased that you are back, lovely statue, I like the water and shining on it , like a refreshing day?
NB I have been absent ( from blogging) a lot myself also, so thats my reason for not visiting frequently...
Greetings JoAnn/Holland
Peter,
How did you ever find the time?
Well the top photo is just gorgeous in sepia. Oh my! And... well... I like the other views of Poseidon's bum! Nice!!! :) So glad you're home. Take a breather. You deserve it .

Je ne savais pas que Poséidon appartient au panthéon scandinave, on en apprend tous les jours.
Maintenant que te walhalla de retour tout va aller bien, parceque tu nous a manqué vois tu...
Great to see you back on blogging Peter, hope all was well in Sweden. I am still trying to do all my Paris visit posts, but not at home with my PC ..need my photos.
Missing walking around Paris, and seeing the wonderful sights.
Glad to see you back and blogging.
My "double cousin" is living in Göteborg with his Spanish wife, but I have been there only once.
Imposing statue!
And thank you for your always encouraging comments!
Happy weekend to you too!
Peter! In your honor I visited IKEA! ;)
I recall telling my Mom: "Peter is a swedish prince and it's nice to 'come to Sweden' (IKEA...) and honor him! :)
We had a coffee and wish you all the best!
Welcome back!
Dear Peter, how wonderful that you're back. Jilly and I were just talking about you today and wondering when you'd return
. I feels like an eternity.
I hope the stay in Sweden wasn't too stressful. Je t'embrasse
Hi, Peter
Welcome back...
Great photos!!
Have a nice weekend, too!
Kisses
I was wondering if that first photo was you in the shower, but you dahsed my hopes by telling me it was Poseidon... quel dommage!
Welome back to blogland.
Hi Peter,
Great to see you back psting and commenting!! Miles Poseidon is slightly different from the Greek one in the National Museum of Athens, but if looks great also!!
A bit depressing my new club or don't you think so?
Welcome back Peter!
Hello Peter, the photo of Poseidon is just beautiful, the light is marvelous.
Have a sunny weekend.
Un beau mec, mais avec un bien petit bassin pour se tremper les pieds.
... Peter..., you have a certain kind of reply..., check it out!
;)
What a lovely symbol. ;-)
Welcome home, Monsieur.
Welcome back home. Nice photos to expand our horizons.
Welcome back1
That first shot is really lovely. He almost looks like an angel with white wings.
No apoligies required!
Life comes first.
Then macarons.
Bienvenue!
hi peter! i see your back from your looong trip! ^-^ kidding! glad you had a great trip and the poseidon posts were amazing!
happy weekend 2!
Wow, hardly back a day and already 32 comments just like that, in a snap ! Hmmm, maybe I should try posting some naked male posteriors belonging to deities to see if that can help bring visitors ! Visibly some of your readers were quite impressed here ! LOL... looks a little like I remember of "The David" in Florence... virility personified... Happy to see you back... that pause button was getting a little bit old in the sidebar thumbnail... :-) Poseidon's butt is better by far...
Oui elles sont assez sympa.
J'aime ta photo génial
Welcome back and thanks
for these beautiful photographs!
:-)
I hope it's fun and not dreary, whatever is keeping you away from us. It's nice to see you for a minute. Happy travels.
Thanks for the visit to my Pick a Peck of Pixels blog. It is always appreciated.
The water sprays look fantastic on the first shot! Wonderful photo!
Welcome back, Peter!
Welcome back, Peter! You were missed. Great photos as always!
Thanks for your visiting to my Flora's post.
Have a nice weekend as well.
Ah enfin, Peter, le retour !
Je vais enfin pouvoir continuer à contempler ma ville sous un autre œil.
A bientôt alors !
Hello again...
I spent one day restoring Patty's computer. She clicked on an email she had sent that could not be delivered and was returned. She was curious as to why it wasn't delivered and clicked on the notice. Well, it was a "worm" that locked her computer and wouldn't let her do anything. When I got up the next day, she came out in her PJs and said, "My computer won't come on."
I had to reformat the hard drive and return it to the factory, new, condition. She lost everything on the computer. I feel sorry for her as it takes a lot of time to put her things back on the computer that she had saved on an external hard drive. Beware folks. If you send an email and it comes back, you should not open it.
I have not been able to get around much of late.
