France #27: Skyline From A Window (Au Revoir, Paris)

            Consider Tour Montparnasse as an alternative to the endless queues (or lines if you don't like French) of La Tour Eiffel...  After all you can't see the Eiffel Tower from the Eiffel can you?  (Normally you can go on the top of the roof of the 56 floor Montparnasse Tower seeing Paris 360­­­° but we were unlucky arriving on that one day when the roof was closed and had to see it from a window).

Dear Flickr friends, this marks the end of my travel blog (and my vacation days) from France, posting 27 images in 10 days "on the run" while exploring Paris and Normandie.  Big and humble thanks to everyone who took time trying to keep up....

It has been a ragbag of postcards and streetshots, of monochrome and color, that really put the "fun in photography" back, as traveling always do for me.  I enjoyed the liberty of not considering if it "fitted in" on my stream, or if I had the time to post to groups, to visit contacts, to leave time to get more comments...

Still, the feedback - as always - is the main reason why I enjoy Flickr so much.  And after being a "hurricane" of new images to upload it is back to work - and to a regular pace from now on.

As time goes by, there will be more additions to the "Paris/Normandie 2011" set though, obviously.  Cheers :-)
