My favorite unedited photos of France (edited versions to come later)

This isn't my favorite photo, but I feel like it captures well the feeling of isolation I get sometimes. So when I say "I miss my family, I miss my friends, I miss Chicago, etc." - this is partly why. There is also beauty in what I think is a sobering image. There is a certain freedom in those open spaces.

A very small taste of the ridiculous-awesome light show in Lyon

I am not sure if this cow and I were falling in love or about to get in a fight, but either way, we were having a pretty serious staring competition

Align CenterLunch break halfway through a legit hike in Grenoble

After a bike ride to a waterfall in Sallanches (next town over from me), we stopped to say what up to the sheep

A very emo shot outside the Louvre in the rain

An old bookshop in Paris

Skiing at Combloux-Megeve

Lake Passy, the small lake in the town where I live. That's Mont Blanc.

  1. These are awesome pictues, Amanda.... (btw, I think the cow and you were definitely falling in love!)

    I think that you're so expressive about your feelings through pictures and words. You definitely could, if you wanted to, create the most wonderful travelogues; I feel as if reading your blog, I have kind of been able to share in some of your experiences and have been getting "a foreign education" as you set out to convey. :)
