- View of the Eiffel from the 3rd level
- One of the advantages of going on this trip in Sept/Oct were the diminished lines. We only waited 30 minutes to go up the tower.

Chopin's grave at the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
- Stately manor in the Park Monceau neighbourhood

- Rome
- Tiny buses that traverse the small lanes in Rome and Florence
- Imperial Forums next to the Colloseum

- The columns in the centre aren't actually askew, this is the result of my camera's panoramic feature. That or the wine... or the sambucca... or the...
- St Peter's Basillica and the Vatican City
- The ceiling of the gallery that leads into the Sistine Chapel
