So, my wife and I took a trip to London, Paris, and Muenster, Germany, with a day side-trip to Holland. All in 8 days!
Got back a week ago. Been busy and under-the-weather, but finally got most of the worthwhile shots up. You can see my love of street portraiture, as well as maybe more typical views.
I almost started crying.. I miss england so much, and seeing such great shots of brighton and london (my two favorite hangouts), I just felt so homesick. LESIGH!
8 days!!! Do own a private jet?
The funny thing about American tourists is they want to see so much of Europe in so little time that sometimes they don't get it anymore. I once heard a group of older Americans who visited Vienna say : "Yesterday we visited Amsterdam the capitol of Copenhagen" :-)
Mag, great bunch of pics. What I really love is the fact that you have photos of sceneries AND people. It'easy to forget taking pictures of other people when on a trip. Good job.
'Palace' is 'Hotel des invalides'.
I like the fact that there is picture of people as well. did you sometimes ask or you just managed to take them without them seeing you ?
I like the business man on the bench but his feet are cut :-(
My prefered is 'Day in life' , the bird with the statue.
No, but I was so tired after the trip, I got a terrible cold and was sick for about 4 days.

I don't know if this is as much a function of the country I live in as much as the fact that I don't have a lot of time off from my job :P. But thanks for the stereotype generalization. It's even funnier because I wasn't even born in the U.S. ;) ...

I use my 75-300 IS. It's the best for street photography. You can get intimate portraits from a block away :-D.
"Enschede is not a small town 150.000 people, it is the largest town in east Holland."
I live in a city of over 5 million. Enough said ....
Thanks for all the comments and letting me share .. : )
