Paris is one of my favorite places on Earth. It’s hard for me to believe that it’s almost been a year since Kristie and I were there for our honeymoon. The idea of sitting at a sidewalk cafe, enjoying a cafe creme while watching Paris go about it’s business makes me homesick to go back. Paris is more to me than a collection of museums, cathedrals and other landmarks. There’s a sort of ‘connected’ feeling I get there, surrounded by history in a place where people have lived for more than 17 centuries. My favorite spot is actually just 60 miles or so south of Paris: Chartres Cathedral. The stone labyrinth on the floor and the stained glass there are awe inspiring in a very humbling kind of way. The few times I’ve been there, it’s always felt like a homecoming.

One of my favorite snapshots came from holding my camera straight out through the fence at the top the Le Tour Eiffel. Ever wonder what the view looks like from 1,100 feet?

I brought one camera and one lens so we could travel light. You can see a bunch of my snapshots here!
