I take pictures of flowers from time to time on my photowalks. A whole pile of them are pretty but they sure aren’t real.

Grand square

This is the Grand Place in Brussels, captured during my trip through the city last year.
The photo was taken pretty much first thing in the morning … so not too many tourists and lots of vans making deliveries to local businesses.

Paris : vue panoramique

The Montparnasse Tower might not the the prettiest thing on the Parisian skyline … but at least when your at the top of it, you don’t see it!
In this view, we’re looking at the Eiffel Tower with the modern skyscrapers of La Défense in the background.

Take a spin

Looking north from the Westminster Bridge in London, with the London Eye on the right. This was taken moments after riding the Eye last October. If the weather’s right, this attraction offer a great view.

Salon somptueux

Wouldn’t you love to have dinner in a place like this? Well, this particular room is behind a velvet rope at the Louvre in Paris. So no, no eating here. Only a feast for your eyes. 😉

La plus petite maison

This is the smallest house in Brussels, as spotted as I passed through town last September.
Well, at least, that’s what the sign says.

Magic number

A follow-up to yesterday’s photo: This is at 66 St. Subway station in New York. Lots of beautiful ceramic art adorn the station walls — not just at that station but throughout all the underground parts of the network.
