I quite have the luck for bad weather, whenever I go for a photo trip. Strange that before I started with photography, each trip was filled with great weather. Or maybe I just don’t remember correctly anymore :). But also in Paris, I had few days of rain and heavy clouds. But I still try to take photos also in those conditions, trying to make the best of it. I know I wont visit Paris again for some time, so I want to have as many photos as I can :)

I took this shot a little time before sunset. I was hoping for the sky to clear out a little (as it was quite windy) but instead I got heavy rain.

A little different view of the Eiffel tower, this time through one of the glass panels of the Wall of Peace (Le Mur pour la Paix). I don’t take credit for thinking of taking the photo like this, as I seen a similar shot by A.G. Photographe.

This is a single exposure, edited in Photoshop.

A week spend in Paris taking photos, is just not enough. I still have a huge list of places I want to go there and some of those I visited I definitively need to revisit. And the list get bigger and bigger. Same with the Arc De Triomphe. I like the photos I got, but I still wan to go up and take a nice sunset shot from there. Maybe next time :)

A nicely lit Eiffel tower, during the blue hour. Something one could take photos of for a long time. You can see there are some additional parts to it on the photos, as the first floor is currently under reconstruction. But it’s good that there are not so different from the tower, so you can’t even see them that much.

To break from all the Paris photos for a moment, here is one from London. This was taken during one very ugly and cold morning, but as it was my last day in London, I had to do the best of it. The sky and colors were not that great, but with a little editing it does not even look that bad :)
