Arch

This is the same general situation I was in at the Eiffel Tower – how to get a fresh image of an iconic building. So, anyway, here the Arc de Triomphe, in a view you’ve no doubt seen before.

Unexpected

Traffic cones were definitely not what I thought I’d see at Versailles! And you know what else? Way down there, at the end of the row of cones, there’s razor wire.

Oculus

OK, so besides that door hardware from yesterday, I liked this thing, too, because I could avoid looking at most of the gold stuff AND stare at the little piece of sky. It was a win-win!

Dividing Line

Kind of a meaningless shot. Oh, except for the way that bark-y tree seems to be holding the two cars apart.

Shimmering Curtain

I really don’t do well in groups, which you’ve probably already figured out.

So this may not surprise you. There was a woman in our group in London who got on my very last nerve. She was good, too: she didn’t gradually have that effect on me. It was instant, from the very first time she spoke.

Then, later, on the bus, just after I made this photo, she tapped me on the shoulder to explain how my picture wouldn’t work, that it would only show foggy windows and nothing else. A regular photo critic, she was.

Anyway, it looks like she was right, and I’m being far to harsh about the situation. That shouldn’t surprise you, either.
