There were thousands of puffins here but these seemed to be the most

photogenic.

This was one of those, oh, wow, I can't believe this picture just

presented itself moments

I set the shutter speed to 1/20 second to let the water flow a little

on this one.

Twin anvil clouds from the window of a commercial airplane. Note

the polarized glass of the airplane window affecting the colors.

Took this looking down the Champs Elysses from the Arc de Triomphe

with a long exposure. Wish I had a tripod with me.

Rather than the generic pictures of the Thinker by Rodin close up, I

decided to get some of the gorgeous roses in the picture as well.

You can see the dome of the Hotel des Invalides and the Eiffel Tower

looking across the Seine River from the Right Bank.

Looking down a candle lit hall at the Notre Dame cathedral. You can

almost feel the ghosts of all those who have worshipped there!

Just another postcard shot of the Notre Dame. But, I did manage to

get a bird flying in front of the camera to add a little spice. At

first, I thought the relatively grey skies would be bad for the

picture but it adds to the starkness of the cathedral.

This turned out better than I thought, with the sun coming in the

windows but not overpowering the forground and the gold mouldings.

In an airshow of military aircraft that were boring "air superiority

grey" so they'd blend into the sky, this one stood out.

I shot this at the San Diego Zoo. These two were wrestling and play

fighting, and I managed to get them when they both were looking at the

camera.

I had to wait a while for this guy to open his mouth! He really

didn't open it much, but it looks a lot better than it would have if I

just took it with him sitting there.
