Quatre Juillet
Okay, this is a Paris photo blog and truly this is a Paris photo, but it is quatorze juillet and not quatre juillet. I was thrilled several years ago to travel to Paris alone for Bastille Day primarily to see the view above. I stood on the barricades for several hours and almost missed this shot as the planes moved overhead so quickly.
I hope that my French friends do not mind that I borrowed this photo to wish everyone in the USA a happy Fourth of July!

tu as raison il faut bien fêter le 4 juillet que je te souhaite excellent
This is very clever, Genie. Happy 4th of July!
HI Genie, I am sure that our French friends are pleased you posted the Bastille sky picture to celebrate the 4th of July. Maybe someone picks up the hint and reciprocates the quatorze juillet! Unfortunately our colors are black yellow and red. Have a happy 4th!
Happy Independence Day!
Happy 4th of July!
Great capture! Happy Fourth!
Our only Quatorze was not what we had planned because of a transportation snafu. Even though I was a bit miffed, what we did participate in, was enjoyable.
Worth the wait I bet.
Happy fourth of July Genie!
wow! Looks awesome! beautiful shot!
Gorgeous genie, happy fourth of July from Sevilla x
Hi again Genie! thank you so much for your advice! Its a great idea! I am kinf of a new here, so much to learn! I an very grateful to you for your coment! Wish you a fantastic time!
Vive le 4 Juillet, vive le 14 Juillet! Le principal est de ressentir une profonde fierté pour son pays. On doit enseigner aux jeunes générations l'amour pour son drapeau national, et la reconnaissance pour tous ceux qui ont donné leur vie pour le sauver.
Merci à toi Genie de nous y faire penser et bravo pour ta belle photo!
Happy 4th Genie. Enjoy it.
Nice blog and interesting photographs. Pleased me. Peter.
Have a good day, the photo is excellent and matches with the 4th of July, I suppose.
Nice one! Perfect for 4TH of July too!
What a wonderful day and I truly appreciate all the good wishes for a July 4th celebration.
I will be ready to celebrate 14 juillet also with full enthusiasm. Not only is it a holiday in France, but it is my first blog anniversary. I timed the start of my blog to coincide with this special date.
Have a wonderful week, all!
Bisous,
Genie
A very fine salute to our holiday, Genie. And, I hope the Genie Family celebrations were happy.
