Not another metro trip: Director's Cut


I did it again! Living in Paris means you get visits all the time from all over Europe. This week I got to spend a wonderful and frozen Saturday hanging around The Lady (that is, the Eiffel Tower), because my dear Swedish friend Anders needed to take 500 pictures of the tower. He said he would wrap his whole bedroom with all the pictures he took. In any case, I couldn't miss the chance to record once again the metro trip that I love so much, but this time with the image rotated! And that's the video you have above.



Since I passed by once again later that day, I decided to record the trip again with the night lights, to show you how beautiful The Lady looks in the evening. However, as a very bad film director that I am, I didn't realize that, since the train was illuminated in the inside, the image would be very bad. Anyway, I upload the second video too, you will appreciate the French woman sitting in front of me and paying attention to what I was doing. She didn't understand a bit, but... I owed this to you. Enjoy!

PS: I promise you, yesterday Paris was Siberia...
