Notre Dame gargoyle


Lois Anne took this shot from the tower at Notre Dame. She must have had a "vintage" camera!

Moon over the Tower


This is an altered photo. Well, the moon was not there originally. I thought it added a nice touch, though.

The Disney bus


This is for people visiting Paris who feel the need to go to Disneyland. Hop on board the Disney express! It's only a 35 minute ride!

From the top!


Lois Anne went all the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower, something like 900 godawful feet into the sky! Nevertheless, just south of the nearest clouds, she took a number of beautiful photos. This is one of them.

Tomb of Lyautey


Lyautey's tomb is in the l'Eglise du Dome. It is my understanding that he was a French military hero of some note. Years ago, when in the Navy, I spent a few days at the Port Lyautey Naval Base in Morocco. I'd like to think that base was named for this French military hero, but I've been unable to verify that.
