Lyon pictures

Sorry about so many. I was there for 6 days. Am really glad to shoot digital. Of course in many ways I was much more deliberate in my picture taking with film when each shot cost at least 50 cents, or more.

Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere




Insect inspired play structure.


Cathedral St. Jean-Baptiste

Branch and reflection

We walked a lot. I was a fire inspector for quite a few years. I look up, down under and around.

My MIL did a lot of it.
Hope she is using good ventilation.

Sorry about the glass bill.

I like what you've done with reflections and odd angles. And posting lots of photos is perfect for me! I will probably never get there, so this wonderful variety suits me very well.

I try to change things up a bit. The skys weren't very good so cutting them out entirely made sense. The Cathedral one I tried becasue I have so many just straight verticals of them. It was 18mm, 24 mm full frame, and that is all I could get.

Beautiful pictures. Love that gorgeous, Cathedral, "Notre Damede Fourviere", impressive architecture. The play structure looked interesting,

too. I wonder if the parents there must sign a waiver gfor their children. Not that it looks very dangerous. Actually, my fist thought was I like

to go down that slide, at least once.

with a lot less direct supervision. Parents are near but the kids explore alond or with their friends.
If some one falls a parent will pick them up and see if they are okay. Usually bruised egos.
