Paris ~ 31 by seanoneill

Paris ~ 31

Needs little introduction, The Eiffel Tower from below.

We have started a new tradition this year. Rebecca has prepared an Advent Calendar where every day we all have to do something. Feel free to join in. Thanks to all who have done so far, you've made us smile.

4th December. Perform a random act of kindness. back online when I have done so!!

Update:- I've driven down to Southampton this afternoon to see family and go to the football ahead of my business meeting in Brighton tomorrow. I took my aunt and uncle some egg custards. My Auntie Ann and Uncle Rich are in their 60s and they would do anything for you. Salt of the earth they are.

Then walking up through town a guy in his 60s with a bad case of the shakes asked me if I had 50p. I asked him if it was to buy a drink, and he very honestly said he could get a pint in wether spoons for £2. I gave him £2, hopefully he'll make it last until closing time and keep warm.

Great pov and love the black and white. I also love the idea of the Advent calendar. I have a feeling a random act of kindness is not a difficult task for you.

Hi Sean, I'm not on here any more but had a bit of time this evening and wanted to check out one of my favourite photographers on here, that being you!! Wow have you been busy, I love your black and white album, very impressive. This one of course is a fav for me. Actually most of your photos are but I don't want to clog up your email. Will stop by again when I have some time to view more of your photos in enlarged.

@cathy366 Thank you Cathy, how kind of you. I thought of you and Jade when I took this as I remember how much your daughter loves the Eiffel Tower. There are a few more dotted through my albums in the last few weeks, including a wedding at the Eiffel Tower and some night shots. Lovely to hear from you and hope that all is well. Fav away as much as you want ;-) Have a wonderful Christmas. Sean x
