In the garden

This poor butterfly was rescued from our cat's teeth a couple of times. Since it was semi conscious it was much easier for me to dig out my macro lens and try out various shots from different view point.

Le palais de Versailles

Le Palais de Versailles, surely one of the most visited places in France. If you want to go somewhere quiet then do not go there. You get pushed around in every room where a human tide transports you without your consent. It seems that black and white suit this shot better as it gives it a more "ancient" feel.

Paris

day and night views from the city of romance with various effects.

The Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower surely is an iconic landmark in Paris. It was built in 1889 for the International exhibition and was supposed to be there only temporarily. It is still standing today and be it day or night you can nver get bored looking at it.

Le Puy du fou

Le Puy du fou has been awarded the "best theme park in the world" award by Americans! We had a fantastic day with loads of sun and the kids had a great time. I particularly enjoyed watching the various birds as you can tell by the following photographs.

Wharley Place

Sunday morning walk in Wharley Place (Essex), park covered in Foxgloves and other colourful flowers. A short stop in a hide to admire the fauna and some acrobatic squirrels.
