California: on the road

Yes, here we are at last! If you're regularly following this blog, be warned: there will be quite a few articles about California in the coming weeks! In case you are not following this blog or may have missed the last episodes, here's a bit of context. A few days after spending Christmas with my family in France, I went back to my favourite place in the outskirts of Paris: Charles de Gaulle airport. Twelve hours later, I landed in Los Angeles.

Yeah, I know, I didn't exactly spend my holidays in London... But I'm still running a little late! So here are the pictures of the long week-end I spent in London at the beginning of December.

Also a great occasion to be a tourist again and to try and capture the lights and colours of the city in a pre-Christmas atmosphere. With its scale of grey as well...
