looking west from the top of the eiffel tower.

looking out a window from the louvre museum.

i stopped in this store to buy a few posters. as i waited in line i took this picture.

if you like to shop, paris is the best. their stores are beautiful and the clothes are unique.

i never take many pictures of myself. when i saw this mirror in the background i knew i could get a picture of myself. i looked at many shoe stores when i would go places. i came home with 3 pair of shoes. i only wore one pair so far. i use them at the gym and they even took me to the top of mount sinai in egypt.

paris is filled with tall buildings and not many trees or gardens. the buildings block out the sun and it maked it hard to know what direction you are heading. many streets run on odd angles and instead of blocks they have triangled streets. it makes it easy to get lost.

a busy road to the north of the louvre. these people drive fast and don't slow down for pedestrians.

sundown in paris.

i walked toward the seine river just to the west of the louvre through these trees.

i walked past this window and the way it was shattered made me turn back and take a picture of it. i didn't expect to see myself in the reflection. that is one of the beauties of photography, the suprise!

i enjoy taking pictures of window fronts. sometimes you never know what will turn up with the glare and reflections in the window glass.

at night i would take a walk down this busy street and check out the night life.

frederic chopin a polish pianist and composers grave.

on my way to the louvre to check out the great art treasures, i passed this store. the sun was coming up in its orangeish glow.

one block to the north of norte dame cathedral.
