Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, Paris

Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, Paris

For a couple of weeks I have been meaning to go back through my photo library to find images of my April 2005 trip to Paris, France. I was only there for four days but took at least a 1000 photographs. I have two favourites, the image above of Notre Dame is one of them. The Church’s name means “Our Lady of Paris”. The River Seine runs beside the Cathedral, just off the bottom of this picture. I think it is the colours that make this photograph, the red and greens of the tree contrast well with the blue sky and stone of the building.

Arc De Triomphe, Paris

Arc De Triomphe, Paris

Not the best photograph of Paris, but the best I could find of the Arc De Triomphe. Since taking this shot in April 2005 I have learnt a lot more about photography, and should be able to get a much better image next time I go. It is actually another really interesting view over the city of Paris from the top of this monument which stands in the centre of the Place de l’Etoile at the western end of the Champs-Elysees.
