Ridership on Paris region transit systems is now generally at or higher than pre-pandemic levels. Bike use is much higher than pre-pandemic.
At the same time, car traffic in Paris and on its ring highway is substantially lower than it was pre-pandemic. www.institutparisregion.fr/mobilite-et-...

The splendid cover art for the new Thunderbird 2 Heavy Rescue model kit. Thunderbirds’ wonderful vehicle designs matched with the inspiring altruism of International Rescue means I’m still unashamedly fond of the show. (I’ll add attribution for the art when/if I track it down.)

Time we had a Friday pic from my archive.
The 112 metre Domtoren in the centre of #Utrecht. Built between 1321-82 as the west tower of the Cathedral. The nave was destroyed by a tornado in 1674 and since then it has been freestanding. So huge it looks almost fake!

I was attracted by the mixture of leaves and foam spinning in the pool, so I put on the ND filter and took couple of long exposures. There was no wind at all and the atmosphere was completed by the thick fog 🤩
