I took two panoramas when I was on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This one is taken while looking in the direction of Bois de Boulogne, which you can see if you look down my favorite avenue just right from the middle. The avenue right of that one leads to La Defense with the modern version of the Arc de Triomphe called La Grande Arche.

Eglise Saint-Sulpice was near our hotel in Paris and near the Jardin du Luxembourg. Both we visited on the first afternoon we were in Paris last week. Eglise Saint-Sulpice plays an important role in the famous book of Dan Brown, the Da Vinci Code. More photos I made in Paris can be found in my gallery “Paris”.

I’ve been a bit to busy this week to go out and take pictures so I’m posting something from the Jay Maisel workshop I did last year in September. The last evening we were up on the roof of “the bank”. After the sun set some of us went inside to drink wine and have a nice snack. Others like me stayed up on the roof and took more photos. In the photo below, on the left, you might be able to recognize a famous photographer using his iPhone to take photos of the Empire State Building.

Today, driving home from a customer in the city of Leeuwarden I took the road over the Afsluitdijk (or Closure Dike. It turned a sea into a lake; read more using the link). The road was very empty so I took out my camera a took some photographs while driving. This photo was taken near the monument by architect Willem Marinus Dudok. You can see the statue of Cornelis Lely, just onder the pedestrian bridge.

At the end of our holiday on the island of Texel we took the ferry back to the mainland. There are always many seagulls waiting for passenger to feed them their left over bread.
People sitting at the edge of a large beach in the north of Texel, The Netherlands, in the background you can see the lighthouse. If you look at the photos on the Picture-a-day page (no. 256a) you can see the vastness of the beach.
