The buildings surrounding the Place de la Comédie, a large pedestrian plaza surrounded by historic buildings, alfresco cafe seating & street artists located right in the middle of the former Medieval quarter of Montpellier, France, are typical from the 19th century. The rich and fine Haussmann style architecture almost creates a distinctive Parisian urban atmosphere.

Named after the Theatre “Opéra Comédie” located on the square’s South-West side, the Place de la Comédie is also a venue for major events within the city, holding concert during the “Fetes de la Musique” or a beautiful Xmas market “Marché de Noël”. The Place is also a short walk to the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle located at the Eastern part of the square. Dated from 1900 the esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle is a wide and beautiful garden with sculptures, water ponds and plenty of locals laying out under the shady branches of the plane trees.

'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.' ~ Marcel Proust, writer, Paris, 1871-1922. My photographs are not merely a record of what was before my camera, but rather my visualization of the place and time as I remember discovering it, be it a particular mood, impression, or ambiance. These images may bring back memories of your own travels or they might inspire, you in some small way to venture off and maybe discover exciting, new landscapes of your own. But in the meantime, consider placing one of these photographs on your wall as a window to foreign lands. A note to those who purchase one of my images, you have my deepest thanks. I am honored that you have chosen one of my photographs...
