How did I miss this grande dame at Versailles? Sublime shot. Even if it isn't really a Polaroid (one of the tags on the image says 'nikon' and nowhere does it say 'polaroid').

In all my trips to Paris, I've still not been to La Defense. In my own defense, it always seems too far, and far too modern when I'm actually there and Paris proper is an option. So silly. Particularly when I stumble upon photographic bling like this image here. I love this photo. I enjoy taking architectural shots, with windows and what they reflect, in particular.
Therefore, I kick myself for not getting to La Defense to get a sweet shot like this one.
Next time, it's La Defense or bust!

Love the ruby red heels, the blur, the bridge detail, l'attitude, et, bien sûr, the crash course with the pigeon. Fantastique photo.

From time to time I find myself so beguiled with a work of art on Flickr that is not a photo, that I am inclined to blog it here. Such is the story with this beautifully designed and illustrated piece. Just lovely. And fun.
Be sure to check the artist's Flickr stream or site for similarly delicious examples from this series, commissioned for the new cafe at Chiswick House, an English Heritage property.

And that Bastille is stormed again, in protest. Eons after the original storming on July 14, 1789 - sure. But a pretty fitting place to stage a strike or protest then, nonetheless. Yes?
I love the way this cloudy day is made more dramatic and stormy by the smoke from the protest activities. Interesting capture. Exciting time to be in Paris with a camera!

I was just reading that Katy Perry and Russell Brand are getting married next week in Jaipur. Or so the tabloids say, today. Well, my invite must have been conveniently lost in the mail. Just as well. I didn't have the vacation time to take off from work anyway. But I have always wanted to go to India. I wonder if I'll ever get there.

Roughly, "High school students in the street. We are fed up."
Do the French know how to strike, or do the French know how to strike? You go, kids. I wish we'd stand up for ourselves en masse like this over here in the States more often.
Love this candid street capture. In black-and-white it's parfait.

Entertaining and probably accurate - as stereotyping goes, except for the way we Americans see The Netherlands. I think we see Holland more like the French do ... For better or worse. What do you think?

After the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious wedding I attended this weekend, I'm in the mood to surf other people's picturesque nuptials. What a great idea for a vicarious world tour, yes?
Riding your bikes into the sunset. Unique. And lovely. Congratulations, whoever you are! Beautiful memory that someone snapped for you. Just gorgeous.

So, a little off the typical topic of travel today. But for good reason.
I went to one of the best weddings ever today, for my dear friends M & S and - brilliant fun folks that they are - they had a photo booth at their nuptials. A real, bonafide, old-fashioned photo booth. It was the life of the party, and came complete with props - bling, a viking hat, a top hat, and more. It was the definition of fabulousity in action. And they have the pics to prove it!
Therefore, it only follows that I'd want to pick an image today from someone else's wedding photo booth snaps. And this one, for one Golriz & Sam (congrats you two, whoever you are!!!), is golden. I encourage you to check out the entire stream of photo booth shots from their wedding. Because they rock. Each and every frame.
Is a photo booth at a wedding not the best idea, ever?

I am really impressed (and taken) with many of the iPhone shot (and processed) pics I've come across on Flickr. Almost makes me want to run out an get an iPhone. Which would mean I'd have to run out and then get these, too.
As to this photo, specifically, aside from being lovely, it makes me want to give Chioggia another chance the next time I'm in Venice. I've only been to Chioggia once, and, unfortunately, had a run-in with some neo-Nazi types (the swastika tattoos, combined with the shaved heads and mean glares gave their politics away, methinks).

What a lovely Paris portrait. Everyone should get to Paris at some point in their lives and have one taken. And ideally, with La Tour Eiffel featured somewhere in the frame.
Too bad the U.S. State Department's recent travel alert for Europe will likely deter a number of Yanks from venturing across the pond for photo opps like this one. The question is, how significant a number of travelers are we talking about? And this despite the fact that the alert "is not a travel warning, which would advise Americans from traveling to Europe."
Didn't George Bush say that terrorists wouldn't change our way of life? Or something to that effect? Surely, that was the biggest lie of all. And for all the promise of change, nothing seems to have changed on this point under President Barack Obama, as this latest travel alert from the State Department has been issued on his watch, and not that of his wildly unpopular predecessor.
*Sigh*
