Having shown here a few pictures of Montpellier France, a lovely medieval French city growing rapidly even as we speak (the fastest growing city in France), I am struck that with all my playful filters and whimsical takes on my own pictures, I maybe haven't fully conveyed what Montpellier plainly looks like. I am tempted to take my simple iphone pictures straight out of the phone and show you to them just as they are.
But then I reconsidered.
I mean, what about all that time I spent converting my pictues into Dr. Seuss illustrations? And honestly speaking, the pleasure I took in Montpellier is more of a cartoon at this point anyway. Vacation and newness, in a car free part of a city where most of it is 500 or more years old, overloads quickly with a kind of ridiculous charm. It takes awhile for a place like Montpellier to not be a kind of dreamworld.
I haven't gotten to that point yet.
Thus today's pictures of Montpellier, most of which you won't have seen yet, presented with a bit of whimsicality.
Tomorrow we'll drift on to darker subjects, but for today, here is all the possible charm I can express of Montpellier France. Even so, it has more than I can convey here.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
