Look, I told you
Montreal, June 2017

Hooked to the Seine
France, May 2019
Remains of the past? Not sure, although it looks like ancient, this hook may well be still used to ancre Paris barges, which stay along the Seine shores. Cité and Saint-Louis Islands, separated by this waterway were under a storm leaving in the distance, this day was quite a challenge weather wise.
