Christmas Tree at Galeries Lafayette (opened in 1912), Paris, France - The department store on Boulevard Haussmann is the world's largest department store. The most striking feature of the building is the dome with stained-glass and wrought iron, created by Chanut, over a century ago. I wish, for this, I had a wider lens than 16mm, in hindsight I should have done a two-row panorama.

The Long Hall at The Opera House, Paris, France

Doors and Mirrors at the Paris Opera House, Paris, France

The Eiffel Tower (constructed in 1889 and 1,063 feet tall) is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France - Taken at night from Avenue Gustave Eiffel using a Tokina 16-28 fully wide at 16mm on a full-frame camera. The tower is the 4th most visited monument in the world. The list currently is 10. Taj Mahal, Agra, India 9. Pyramids of Giza, Cairo, Egypt 8. Alhambra, Granada, Spain 7. Statue of Liberty, NYC, USA 6. Colosseum, Rome, Italy 5. Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C., USA 4. Eiffel Tower, Paris, France 3. Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia 2. Great Wall of China, China 1. Notre-Dame de Paris, Paris, France. I think the best place to photograph the tower is from the plaza at Palais de Chaillot, but get there super early for a clean shot without thousands of tourists.

Black and White, Sky Walk at La Defense, Paris, France

Light Trails Cityscape, Blue Hour, La Defense, Paris, France - La Défense is a major business district located in the commune of Courbevoie, and parts of Puteaux and Nanterre, just west of the city of Paris. I like light trails on roads, but in this case, the road on the right had no traffic. I keep a folder full of light trails that I've taken previous in various places. In Photoshop I overlay these into the scene and warp and skew it to fit using the "lighten" blend-mode

Framed Glass pyramid created by I. M. Pei, forming the entrance-way into a lower-ground exhibition area, Louvre, Paris, France.

Since the glass pyramid entrance opened in 1989, the number of visitors has tripled. The pyramid itself, for some reason, is not actually perfectly symmetrical within the arches, I sorted that out in Photoshop ;)

The Church of St Eustace, (L’église Saint-Eustache) is a church in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, built in 1632. Located at the entrance to the city's ancient markets (Les Halles) and the beginning of rue Montorgueil. During the French Revolution the church, like many churches in Paris, was desecrated and used for a time as a barn. It really was amazing inside!
