Photos From Our Evening In Paris

Well, I screwed up and forgot to post the photos before posting the written post about a spectacular evening in Paris.  To read, just scroll down below this post, or click on the archives -- "An Evening of Joy. . ."

A Louvre statue right across

from our hotel balcony.

Also on the Louvre across

from our hotel balcony.

Joan of Arc right

outside our hotel.

The glowing thing under the

ball thing is the Olympic flame.

The "ball thing" is a "balloon."

A zoom in on the flame.

Part of the Louvre.

All three photos above were

taken from the same spot.

It's a great Zoom lens.  Note

the Olympic Flame balloon

through the arch.

The controversial I.M. Pei glass pyramid

that was completed in 1989.  I like it.

Others do not.

A wing of the Louvre.

Notre Dame bouncing back.

Part of the reviewing stand on

a bridge over the Seine River.

Selfie in front of the hotel.

Close-up of the flame

after take-off.

Selfie with the balloon/flame.

Plaza de la Concorde.

Arc d'triomphe.  The part of the

Champs de Elysee I was shooting

this from was closed for the Olympics.
