As part of my Curbstone project I took some curbstone photos with my Voigtlander 15mm lens on a Leica M8. More results can be seen in the Curbstone gallery.

Part of the Louvre are lots of places where you can just enjoy Paris and look at other people. Le Cafe Marly surely is one of them. To look at the people looking at other people is just as much fun!

Walking along the Seine river I saw this man looking at me. He must have been there for a long time already.

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”.

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.
