No trip to Venice is complete without taking a boat ride along the Grand Canal.
Travel
Pemigewasset River Bridge
You can’t visit New England without finding and capturing some of the covered bridges. The Pemigewasset River bridge, located in New Hampshire’s Franconia Notch State Park, is found 1/4 mile up the Flume Gorge Trail. The bridge was built in 1886.
Seattle Contre-jour
I enjoy changing up and using film as some of you know. This recent photograph of Seattle was taken from the bow of the ferry using Ektar 100 film and shooting directly into the sun hence Contre-jour.
A Peek at the Wheel
La Grande Roue as seen from Tuileries Gardens.
Trinity Church
The Trinity Church reflected off the side of the John HancockTower.
Battlement
The Chateau De la Barre has been in the Vanssay family since the 1400’s and was our home base while touring the Loire Valley. One of the remaining battlements that still exists on the property is shown here about to catch the morning light.
Art Class on a Submarine
We took an open air boat tour on the Seine and passed by this island that looked like a submarine with trees growing out the top. The tour guide told us they have art classes there which you can see.
Cabaret De La Boheme
This cabaret and restaurant is in Montmartre, just east of Sacre Coeur. I was here in the very early morning. I had walked from Sacre Coeur to the cafe and found one lonlely coffee drinker setting outside. I suspect it is much more lively at night but I was never up late enough to find out.
Notre Dame
What’s a trip to Paris with a photo of Notre Dame. I took many of the cathedral but this one taken from a boat trip down the Seine is a little different.
Cite
We used the Paris subway system a lot during our stay. One of our favorites was Cite. It opened in 1910 and is one of the few with a surviving Art Nouveau entrance and stylish round lamps on the platforms. It is located under the Île de la Cité, the island in the Seine that contains the Notre Dame Cathedral which was our destination.
