Arc de Triomphe
Oddly enough, this is a better picture than my daytime shot of the Arc de Triomphe. That one was taken at 1/3 second shutter for some reason and, in the time before stabilized lenses*, that’s too slow to get a picture that is anywhere close to sharp. Even this picture… Continue reading
Reichstag Dome
This is the Dome of the Reichstag Building in Berlin. There’s more history to it than I care to recite here, so I’ll leave that to Wikipedia. I just think the dome is a cool looking structure. Picture taken with Olympus C2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (41mm equiv), f/4.5, 1/500 sec,… Continue reading
Berlin Wall

Bud
Bud – first guess would be a tulip, but those come early and the leaves are not right. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF-S 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, f/9.0, 1/125 sec, ISO 100.
Iris
Probably the coolest color combo flower in the garden. Purple-red & yellow iris. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 41mm, f/5.0, 1/60 sec, ISO 100.
White Iris
