Misc Paris pictures -- meandering thoughts to follow. I'm still sort of seven hours in the future, so the gray day outside isn't helping my wakefulness.
Edit: some captions & blah blah for the pictures.
Le Tour Eiffel. One of the great features of our hotel was that you could see the tower from the street. At night, on the hour, the lights would flash in a sparkly pattern that was really incredible.
The St. Chapelle chapel -- the chapel used by the royal family. Some of the most incredible stained glass. I was pretty happy with how my pictures came out this time -- my 1997 pictures were pretty underexposed and blurry.
Random mood shot over the river Seine.
Along the street bordering the north side of the Louvre.
The pyramid outside the Louvre, and part of the Louvre itself. We didn't actually go in, this trip (we saw the Pompideau instead), but we ended up near here at dusk and took some pictures outside.
The catacombs under Paris. These are eerie and humbling -- a little further on, there's an ossuary where they moved the bones of the dead after the graveyards had, well, filled up after hundreds of years. The bones are just, well, stacked in elaborate crosses and layers. 3:08:36 PM ()
