Taken on vacation trips
Dad was in town for a visit recently during my break from work. We made a trip down to Southbank to view the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2011 exhibition before taking a walk along the riverside. The wintry weather meant that there were limitations to photography. Nevertheless, we did manage to capture some interesting candid pictures.
Do a search on “Galaries Lafayette Dome” on Flickr and you will notice how often this landmark is photographed by visitors to Paris. Similarly, I was attracted to the architectural patterns of the dome and had to take home my own photo of the landmark.
Paris has many nicknames, but its most famous is “La Ville-Lumière” (“The City of Light” or “The Illuminated City”), a name it owes first to its fame as a centre of education and ideas during the Age of Enlightenment, and later to its early adoption of street lighting. — Wikipedia
What would a visit to the City of Light be without a visit to the top of the Eiffel Tower at dusk? We were lucky to get clear views when we made our way up that evening as the summit was shrouded in fog earlier in the day.
