say a little prayer
on sunday we went to notre dame hoping to hear mass, but we never got to. apparently we got the wrong information and got there 4 hours early for the english one, and the latin one was over. got a few nice pics though...
no tripods so i used a high ISO to do this shot.

bejeweled lady
every hour on the hour the eiffel twinkles! she lights up with glimmering stars for 10 minutes! an awesome sight! isn't she lovely???
a glimpse of royal jewelry
these royal jewels were just surrounded by too many people, but it gave me an idea on how to frame this shot! could not read the labels though so not sure whose these were....anyone?
inside the lourve
i have about 2 GB of raw files of the lourve alone and don't know where to begin. every hall is different from the other it is just spectacular. you can get lost there!!!
have a great day my friends! will catch up with you later ok?

musee du louvre
what can i say about this place? no words! i can just stay there forever! wow it is amazing tha so much of our history is in this place, and amazing how it has transformed to what it is today.
the pyramid and the modern portions blended well to the old classical architecture of the main halls! ingenious!
and of course, i saw mona lisa!

view from the trocadero
this is another shot i often see and i just had to do it myself! i never knew it would be difficult, with all the people swarming the place and the distortions i get when using the wide angle.
it was indeed best to see the eiffel from the trocadero! great vantage point there!
