Être libre de temps en temps

At least that’s what the graffiti says. Seen in Paris.

En Français (Part 2)

At first glance, this looks just like a Parisian street sign … but don’t be fooled. This was actually snapped in San Francisco!

Liberté, fraternité, égalité

Truly, one of the hallmarks of the French Republic is the idea of liberty, fraternity and equality for all of its citizens.
And when this founding principle is chiseled into the side of a building and adorned with some flags, it can make for a cool photo.

Tour bronzée

Another glimpse of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Also file this one under “Things I Didn’t Know My Portable Camera Could Do.” This effect is called Toy Camera. Not bad.
