- Butterfly and Bee
While visiting the source of the Seine River in Burgundy, France, I was photographing this butterfly, and by chance also captured an approaching bee. (August 1, 2018. Nikon D7200, 1/500s @ f/14, 300 mm, ISO 1100.) - Abbey of Fontenay
I was struck by the symmetry of the empty halls of this 12th Century former Cistercian abbey in France. (August 1, 2018. Nikon D7200, 1/50s @ f/6.3, 10 mm, ISO 100.) - 'Tour des Antennes'
Visiting the Eiffel Tower, I was able to get this usual close-up view, showing numerous communication antennas festooned along its exterior. (August 6, 2018. Apple iPhone 7, 1/618s @ f/1.8, 3.99 mm, ISO 20.) - Butterfly and Bee
