just scanning the archives from paris. i know the vignette is over-the-top, but i like the drama.

flickr blog today has a feature on padlocks -- so i thought i'd share ours, at le pont de l'archevêché, behind notre dame, in paris.

a detail spotted during my golden sunrise at sacré-cœur:

in the meantime, i'm temporarily departed from my beloved 40D as it's developed a problem with the shutter button -- it needs to be replaced. i found a relevant discussion here. people say it works ok after powering off, pressing and twisting, but since it seems that the problem inevitably reappears, i thought i'd take it to canon service to fix it entirely. i also asked them to count my clicks as i have no idea how far along i am on the body's life.
the good news is that i took it in today and i'm getting it back tomorrow (yay!) -- and in the meantime i have my old 350D with me, as i hate being out and about without a camera.

as we left the eiffel tower and walked across le parc du camp de mars, we saw a beautiful newlywed couple having fun with pictures in front of the tower. they were sweet enough to pose for a quick shot.
we exchanged email addressed, and they even sent me pictures from the kremlin and the caribbean!
live long and prosper, ivan and olga.

bonne nuit, louvre

this is the best hour at the louvre -- the intricate stone is golden, the pyramid, aglow, and the sky is the deepest blue. i'm quite sure that, if i lived in paris, i'd be hanging out here a lot.
i scampered around shooting everywhichway -- of course, quite a few turned out crappy. if i were younger and more agile, surely i would've run out to take some overviews from further away. maybe i'll be lucky enough to visit again.

les artistes à montmartre

a somewhat intense tourist spot: on one side of la place du tertre, you can buy finished paintings and on the other, you're urged to get your own portrait done. it's certainly a fun place to take pictures.
btw, this is a cool view of the place.
