It’s the return from the summer holidays in Toronto, a month from the end of the summer and a couple of weeks before school starts again. I like to take a few days just walking around Paris, as if to familiarize myself again with my city, though it more and more tends to be depressing than anythign else, what with the city nearly totally void of natives in the month of August and overrun, more than it usually is, with tourists.

At times like this it helps to just turn your head up and look at the clouds.
