Champs-Élysées

My friend Betsy said she was told to never take a photo if the sky is a blank white canvas. We're breaking that rule on this trip. No rain. No sun. Every day is exactly the same. Maybe that's why Paris is so ornate—to distract you from the weather.

Cloudy, but still impressive.

The obelisk at Place Concorde, where the guilloitine was formerly located.

A lamp post at Place Concorde.  Ornate is their style.

Nothing is too over the top.

Who's the paparazzi now?

Fast shot, taken as the traffic was bearing down on us. If you squint you can see the Arc de Triomphe.

Interesting portrait choice for the exhibition poster. It certainly stands out in a sea of large, ornate buildings.
