France In May Time [May 12-30, 2007]

So, I was recently "priveleged" enough (I HATE TRAVELING) to be forced to go to France. I decided to make it an opprotunity to further and broaden my portfolio. Also, I used it as a test to see how well I could managed pictures in a unfamiliar environment with horrible weather (it rained every day but one). So here is what came of it, ENJOY. These photos have been drastically downsized due to conservation and space and bandwidth, so they differ slightly from the original. If you like these, there are much more in the France!!! section of th egallery. These are just random ones I chose for this small display. Photographer: Jenn Foust

No this isn't a portal, but me looking up from under the l'arc de triomphe. The sky made for a great other worldly shot.
The ceiling in the hall of mirrors in Versailles. Imagine that under the camera there are about 1000 tourists crammed and shoving in this small room and you get the picture of why it is of the ceiling.
A goat in Marie Antoinette's village. (You don't think I could pass up a little bit of home, do you?)
