Hoarfrost

On a recent weekend trip to the UK’s Peak District we were treated to a magnificant overnight hoarfrost that simply had to be captured.

Views of the Eiffel Tower

22 10 2008

It always strikes me as odd to see all the tourists (regardless of city / sight / phenomenon) all lined up, all taking essentially the same clichéd view of famous landmarks. So on our last trip to Paris, I decided to experiment with some very different angles of La Tour d’Eiffel

As we walked further away from the Tower, I saw another angle to experiment with. I love the retro feel that black & white gives to this photo.

And last, but not least, we got a fabulous view of the Tower late in the afternoon from the Seine.
