It is Constitution Day in Niue.
Today's image has squat to do with any of today's events. It is a view of the rue Vavin in Paris from a window of the Pension Ladagnous. I'm a bit freaked out to have found this shot, because it looks like it might be taken from the window of the very same room that I stayed in when I lived there in 1980. This photo was taken in 2005.
