January 29, 2015 no responses VisionsOfJoanna Europe France

  ELAY’s red and white lights burst on brightly at 4 a.m., Paris’ equivalent to America’s 711. A glimpse of a serious group decked out in machine and metal strolls by and huddles nonchalantly, as usually sensed in airports.

April 1, 2014 no responses VisionsOfJoanna Europe France
