A yellow building complements the fall tree leaves near the center of old town in Annecy, France.

It's cold but there are still a smattering of tourists mucking about in Annecy, particularly on the weekends. Here a mother and son window-shop at a tabac shop (something akin to a news stand in America).

1) Kim -

I keep coming back to this photograph over and over. The color is magical. It changes my perception instantly and then works on me for a while afterwords. It truly colors my day. Thank you for your wonderful eye and camera work.

Seoul Music Photo: For two simple reasons, my photography expeditions in Seoul generally begin at Seoul City Hall. For starters, I really don't know much else about Seoul because I'm too cheap to buy I don't have access to a guidebook. Secondly, it's apparent, there are myriad festivals and happenings on the lawn in front of city hall, including what seem like daily musical performances.
