Some notes from the Île aux Cygnes, or Isle of the Swans, a small man-made island on the Seine. At 850m long and 11m wide, it’s the third largest island in Paris.

It’s mainly known as host since 1889 of the quarter-size replica of the Statue of Liberty. There’s an attractive tree-lined walkway, a workout space and climbing wall. On this late morning, some joggers, dog walkers and a handful of day sleepers.

Moving in. Watch your head. And look out for the birds.

This is BobRamsak.com, a public notebook by Bob Ramsak.

I’m a long-time journalist, photographer and researcher driven by passions for environmental, social and refugee justice. I’ve visited 62 countries and write something and make pictures (almost) every day. This site is a notebook and photolog where I track and (sometimes) comment on those interests, journal my travels and log my current obsessions. At the moment the most dominant one is my renewed passion for birding and bird photography.

This site primarily serves as a garden for my memories and experiences, which I hope visitors will find useful or of interest. If you find something helpful here, or have a thought or insight to add, please leave a comment or drop me a line to let me know. I’ll be delighted to make your acquaintance.

Based in Nice, France.
