This gallery is a first one of the series of galleries that I will be posting from our this year's trip to Europe. We spent 5 days in Paris and then took "Eurostar" to London where we spend another five days. From home it looked like quite a long trip, but coming there it become quite obvious 5 days is nearly just a beginning. Particularly for Paris. I just touched the top of the iceberg. But I tried to capture the architectural beauty of that great city and I hope, I was able to do it. To my bad luck the main lens I planned to use stopped working on its wide end after the second day. The prices there are astronomical, so there was no talk about buying a new one (I bought it much cheaper in London). So I had to be creative using my two other lenses and longer side of the broken one. I think that made me chose different vantage points and therefore take some images I would not be taken normally. Anyways, it's all here. That would be a large gallery, I could not make myself to trash many of images. Please come back again to see more images that I will be adding as soon as I process them. Best viewed at original size, which will give you 1024 pix images.

Feel free comment and critique.
Most of all, just have a cup of coffee, hit slideshow button and enjoy the pictures.
