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.

Supermoon

Phare

Place Ville Marie is an icon of Montreal’s landscape. The cruciform skyscraper celebrates its 50 years in 2012. Apart from its footprint, the tower is known for a rotating beacon on its roof.
The view shown above was taken last week from the concert plaza outside Place des Arts.
