Ben slept here

I was walking in the old city this morning on my way to meet my friend Sylvie and snapped a few pics in front of the Château Ramezay where Benjamin Franklin once stayed trying to convince British loyalists here to join the revolutionary war.

Sylvie and I ended up going to the Expo World Press Photo exhibition and we were duly impressed. The press photo of the year for 2025 is of a nine year old Palestinian boy who lost both his arms during the recent conflicts. It is positively haunting photo as was much of the rest of the exhibit.
