Notre
Dame Interior, sunny day. Don't try pictures like this without a tripod
or somewhere to set your camera and use the 'bulb' or 20 second exposures; it's
just too dim.
An experimental shot. I set the camera on a bench, set it for 1 minute
exposure (ASA 100 I think), and turned on the flash. I stood in front
for the flash but then stepped out of the way.
Notice the building that shows through me at about my waistline (as
well as the lights).
Same shot, 30 second exposure, without me in the shot.
They said it was possible to climb up to the top of the left hand (north)
tower and take a tour up there, but I didn't do it.
Sunday
night mass, the place was full. I didn't stick around to hear the mass
in French; my french isn't that good and I'm not Catholic, but mostly I just
didn't feel like it. Another day I might have.
View
from the Hotel room window, towards the North West, in the early morning.
All the buildings look like this, more or less.

Paris,
random street scene. Rainy day. No, I don't know these people, I just
took a picture down the street. It's some time in January of 1998.
