This year we each have a camera. Susanne has the newer one. Her memory card has over 3000+ images capacity, so she goes off & does her thing. I get to see her work the next day.
She loves gargoyles. Here are a couple of her shots from Notre Dame yesterday that I switched to monochrome. I tend to think of the Middle Ages in those terms. Life even for royalty was anything but colorful back then.
We walked over to Invalides. A single photo doesn't quite get the enormity of the place so I took this vid. No comment, no dramatic music, just background street noise. If you're viewing this by email, scroll to the top of the post & click on Steve's Travel Blog.
That mostly hidden gold dome behind the building is where Napoleon is buried. His penchant for making war not love killed off lots & lots of Frenchmen, yet he is their hero.
Street musician in Place des Voges, violin case open to receive donations. I always toss in a few coins... as I've said before, it's honest work.
The electronic age is upon them. On the ground behind her is a cd/mp3 player. So when I heard her from around the corner, I thought we were coming upon a string ensemble with a violin soloist. Actually I was correct, just not quite the visual in my head.
Family time. Gots to run. Sorry.
P.S. Next post will be exclusively Susanne pics.
