The Eiffel Tower in Paris puts on a five-minute light show at night, on the hour, much to the delight of tourists. Caught this video a few nights ago, just as I was leaving, at first unaware of this sparkling sensation.

How odd that the Dutch, on average deemed some of the tallest people on Earth, choose to drive the world’s smallest vehicles.

Tiles for America, Greenwich Village, New York. This photo was taken in March 2009 but as far as I can tell, this simple yet powerful monument is still there.

Fron a visit to Berkeley, Calif., in March 2010.

If in New York, go to Brooklyn at least once, if for no other reason than to look back at Manhattan. But do go for another reason. It’s worth it! Great places to eat, some accessible urban decay, the New York Transit Museum … and there’s a great little ice cream shop not far from where I was standing, near the ferry landing, to take this photo.
This view was snapped a year ago, at dusk.
