At the base of the Eiffel Tower
With black and white film and a Holga camera the Eiffel Tower offers almost unlimited possibilities.
Male Stones in Avebury
Before National Trust protection, many stones from the circle were removed and used as building material in the village.
A Female stone in the Avebury Circle
Avebury Circle is the largest neolithic stone circle in England. Built approximately 4600 years ago. The village of Avebury extended into the circle about 1700 long before it became a National Trust site.
Avebury Village
In the Berkshire Downs
Scaffolding in the Cotswalds
This inn had burned and was wrapped to protect it from weather damage while the National Trust decided what to do with it.
Well in Cotswalds
You can get a brief view of this well in the movie "Stardust".
Cotswalds
Several small villages make up the Cotswalds. They are often used in the British film industry.
Laycock Store
Almost all of the village of Laycock is a British National Trust Site. To live there you have to have a traditional job like a thatcher as in thatched roofs.
The Window at Laycock Abbey
William Henry Fox Talbot took a photo of this window making what might be the first repeatable photographic negative in 1835. I retook this photo in 2004.
Cloister of Laycock Abbey
Was used in the filming of "Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince"
Double Exosure at Laycock Abbey
With the Holga camera it's very easy to accidentally double expose a frame of film. This is one of my favorite accidents.
The Mummy of Salisbury Cathedral
Don't ask me I just take the pictures
Salisbury
A grand and sunny day at Salsbury Cathedral
Salisbury Cathedral
The Close was once a private part of the cathedral limited to the Fathers and Brothers of the order.

Paris Apartment
They were making a delivery and left the door open so we walked in and saw how beautiful the courtyard was.
The Open Door
An open door is always an invitation. A pretty door is even more so.
Napoleon’s Bridge
When you are Napoleon you put your mark on everything.
Sainte Chappelle
Loose pieces of this very beautiful small gothic church sharing Ile de Cite with Notre Dame and Palais de Justice. It has the most wonderful stained glass I have ever seen.
Stairs at Montmartre
Also known as the stairs of the Rue Foyatier. Carol is seen walking down to our lunch restaurant.
View of Paris from the Eiffel Tower
From Here Michelle commented that Paris is a white city.
Looking southwest from The Eiffel Tower
The circular building in the distance is Radio France.
gargoyle
I had wanted to photograph these guys since I first saw black and white photos of them when I was a child.
gargoyles
And scaffolding, I love buildings wrapped in scaffolding.
gargoyles
The classic winged monkey.
Bronze Cannon
Napoleon Bonaparte collected the cannons won in battle and brought them back to Paris so they couldn't be used against him. They are works of art.
Double exposure
There is only one Ferris wheel at this park but I forgot to wind the film. Easy to do with a Holga camera and sometimes so nice.
Arc de Triomphe du Carroussel
Built by Napoleon at the same time as the better known Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile on the Champs-Élysées.
Marie Antoinette’s farm cottage
Like we played dress-up, Marie Antoinette like to play "little farm girl" so she had a play cottage built at Versailles.
Big X on the Eiffel tower
The small square boxes wired on the tower are strobe lights that are part of an hourly light show every night on the tower.
Stairs on the Eiffel tower
We took the elevator to the top. We decided to walk down. Since the elevator only stops at certain places you get many more views from the stairs.
July 14th, 2005 Bastille Day
We were on the Champs de Mars (Field of War) a park in Paris with about 1/2 million tourists and Parisians watching the celebration.
Bastille Day 2005
It was also my 51st birthday. The French celebrated my birthday with a big parade and fireworks on the Eiffel Tower.
Bastille Day
It only looks like they are blowing up the Eiffel Tower.
Bastille Day
When we first arrived in Paris we had seen shipping containers and large spools of wire at the Eiffel tower and soldiers with machine guns guarding them. Later I figured out it was the explosives we call fireworks soon to be installed and set off.
Bastille Day
Such a great variety of fireworks.
