The first photo was taken during March of 2006 when I was touring Europe. Obviously it is of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.
The second is also in March of 2006 and it was during the night time. The Eiffel Tower is illuminated for 10 minutes at 9PM and 10PM, which looks super cool.
The third is me playing Stairway to Heaven on the guitar. I inverted the colors and yeah that's about it. More to come if you all would like.
I tried to emphasize the size of many of the structures by using people and cars as reference. I had to compress these pictures quite a bit for the sake of bandwidth, but if you would like to see any in more detail let me know.
*Disclaimer...my spelling of many French words may be incorrect.
