Here are two photos from the Rue Rivoli in Paris, from my vacation last October. First, the tower of St. James (formerly part of a church, which is long gone):

I like the close proximity and similarity of the Metro (subway) and McDonald’s signs in the photo below:

About Fr Matthew Green
Currently parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, on Cape Ann (serving the churches of St. Ann, St. Joachim, and St. Anthony). I moved to the area in early August '11, and am very happy to be in such a welcoming community and beautiful location!
One of my hobbies is photography. You can see my photos
on Flickr and buy prints of some of them
on Fine Art America.
I am a daily contributor to
GoodMorningGloucester (GMG for short), a blog by and about the community of Gloucester specifically and Cape Ann in general. The content is diverse, ranging from the beautiful and sublime to the earthy and occasionally offensive. I hope my contributions are of the former kind, not the latter. So, while I cannot endorse all the content that is posted there, I am grateful to Joey (the founder and admin of the blog) for giving me space to make my contribution.
I also have my own blog,
Perpetual Learner, which mostly includes my homilies and some re-posts from GMG, but also sometimes has other content, such as my personal reflections, videos I like, etc.
Reblogged this on Perpetual Learner.
Fr. Green – Just a side note about McDonalds. On a rather small island in the Mraiannas called Guam, I spent some rather unusual time yet for such a small place it had a big McDonalds right next to the JFK High School. Out front the prseident had his hand extended to the people of Guam, Next door an even bigger and much more colorful Ronald McDonald struck the same pose. They had gotten their shipping orders mixed up and evidently the largest one in the world at the time went there and a rather smaller one went to Japan. Ronald is every where.
Thanks for the interesting note!
