Château de Dieppe — Photo 43 — Project 365

Château de Dieppe — Photo 43 — Project 365
This is the castle sitting on the cliffs, overlooking the sea and standing guard over Dieppe. When the city was walled, the castle had a prominent place in the wall. Today, the walls are gone (save one gate only) leaving the castle.

My New (Un-)Friend — Photo 41 — Project 365

My New (Un-)Friend — Photo 41 — Project 365
I went rambling through the bushes and brought home a visitor that I quickly dispatched. But first, he turned into my photo subject. As a photo subject, a bug of this size is incredibly hard to shoot — the distance between in and out of focus is a matter of millimetres. Some of my other bug pictures haven’t turned out because I can’t hold still enough! It doesn’t help either that it is near impossible to tell on the camera screen whether something this small is in focus either. But I have a winner here!

The plane touched down at Charles de Gaulle and we quickly found ourselves in Paris! Dreams come true! How could I pass up getting a picture of the Eiffel Tower, THE symbol of Paris.

On the Wing — Photo 39 — Project 365
For pictures alluding to open spaces and freedom, it’s hard to beat those taken from the air. The wingtip is a subtle way to add perspective and a reference point. For the curious, the river is the Seine, just north of Paris.

The Orange Man and the Dog — Photo 38 — Project 365

The Orange Man and the Dog — Photo 38 — Project 365

Sometimes wandering around Iceland, the landscape reminded of nothing familiar and was closer to how I imagined Mars. The orange rainsuits they gave us when we went horseback riding didn’t help any in that regard, but it does make us jump out in this photo.

Again, I love the feeling of openness and adventure the image inspires.

Icelandic Waterfall — Photo 37 — Project 365
Iceland is the land of many things, including some amazing waterfalls. There were so many things to see in Iceland, I decided to bend my rule of only one photo per day. I think this is one of three from the one day of our Icelandic adventures :)
