Reflections Under Construction La Defense
The glass facade of an office block capturing the reflection of another being constructed at La Defense, Paris in the summer of 2008. If you were to visit now you would most certainly see the reflection of another towering office block reaching up towards the sky, clad in glass staring back.

This image look down Avenue de la Grande Armee and on towards the Grande Arch located in la Defense, Paris. As you can see the last light of the day casts its rays all the way down the road lighting up the central dividing region leaving the far reaches of the road in shadow.

Here are just a few photographs as the sun goes down over Paris one evening in August.
Notre Dame, Paris, Interior
In a previous post towards the end of April I focused on the Gargoyles of Notre Dame gazing over the cityscape. Today’s photo-set focuses on the interior with quite a number of the photographs looking at the stained glass windows.
Some Views from the Eiffel Tower at Night

The Eiffel Tower at Night
The following are just a few photographs of the Eiffel Tower at night, what you will not find in the following set is full length photograph of the entire tower, rather various segments and angles showing some of its structure.
The Pantheon, Paris
The Panthéon is located in the Latin Quarter of Paris and is quite close the Saint Sulpice church (about 1km of a walk) as detailed in my previous post. One can find further information about it by visiting http://www.pantheonparis.com.
Saint Sulpice, Paris
The following photographs are of Saint Sulpice, Paris. Well know from being featuring in the film the Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks. Its the second largest church in the city, being only just a little smaller than Notre Dame.
Should you wish to visit yourself then the map below should be of use.
Notre Dame Gargoyles Gazing over the City
Notre Dame, Paris is such a wonderful place one could easily spend days just photographing all the detail to be seen. It’s really interesting to see all the Gargoyles and think about all the history they have borne witness to over the past centuries, looking out across the city from their lofty perches.
Computer Museum Paris France
In August of 2008 I visited the Grand Arch (Grande Arche), la Defense, Paris, France with the intention of getting some nice photographs of the cityscape from the roof. However when I reached the top floor I was surprised to find a computer museum their. It was something totally unexpected and probably ended up spending quite some time just looking around at all the old machines. What was more surprising still was the fact that I have used quite a few of them in the past, so it was very much a trip down memory lane. If you are interested in computing and happen to be in Paris then this is one location you will certainly have to visit.
Sculpture at the Louvre Paris, France
On the first Sunday of each month one can enter Musée du Louvre free of charge, as you can expect crowds flock to the muesum all throughout the day, especially at the height of the tourist season. I spent a day looking around the museum in August 2008, even though I managed to get around and quickly see just about everything, one would really need to spend a good few days, as there is just so much to see. The following photographs are just a very small sample of the sculptures to be seen at the muesum. If you are ever in Paris then it is most certainly the place to visit.
