File name: img_0662.jpg
Date: Friday, February 1, 2002, 1:11:00 PM

The Eiffel Tower is probably the tallest thing in Paris, so it has a heck of a lot of communications stuff on the top of it.

I saw a postcard like this. Unfortunately I didn’t get the “Place Charles de Galle” in the shot squarely.

File name: img_0672.jpg
Date: Friday, February 1, 2002, 3:15:16 PM

This was going down the Arch. By not using a flash I got a really cool shot. I am not quite sure how I held the camera still for 1 second.

Notre Dame.

This is a negative of one of my pictures. I like how it gives the impression that it is winter. The green buildings in the lower left kind of give it away :)

Bern Austria. My favorite “one day city” There is a law there forbidding adjacent buildings from having the same roof line. That makes for a great midevil feel.
