Pictures from my Euro trip (mega post!)

honda Jazz's were big over there, i must say that neiler was right, everyone and their mom drives either a bmw or audi, they are like cavaliler's over there!

next day i headed over to St.Paul's catherdral(sp?) unfortunally, photography wasen't allowed inside...but i managed to snap a pic of the roof because it was simply amazing.

it's something like 600 and some odd steps to the top; and you can only stop in the middle and then continue up. there was no elevator, and the steps were VERY steep all spiriling upward, holy ---- was that ever a hike with a ---- ton of camera gear on my back and a tripod in my hand; not to mension that i could barley fit in the stairway with my camera bag on my side (and i'm only 5'5 120lbs soaking wet!) . but it was worth it cause it made for these pics:

stopped for a macro pic and then headed home..

Attachment 18050

here's the main reason for the trip, my close cousin got married down there, it was a traditional english wedding, and the reception was in a pub (no pics of the pub cause i was wayyyy to drunk..lol) it was a small wedding, and she diden't hire a photographer so that's where i stepped in, got my feet wet when it comes to shooting weddings, here's a couple:

my cousin (the bride) her husband, and some school friend of hers

so after the wedding, the next day we headed to Scotland --- beautiful place!

we stayed in Edinberg, but were only in scotland for 2 days, the first day we drove all the way west to the cost, and then the next day drove all the way to the top of scotland to a place called "wick" to where my gf's grandfather was born and grew up; he passed away a week before we left for England.

and the hooptie! who knew a RHD 1.3ltr diesel skoda could go 180km/h! hahaahahhaah i did manage to get a speeding ticket in scotland by one of those photocamera things, but the rental company said that it won't stick.

Attachment 18009

there were castles all over the place, saw so many of them. the roads there were crazy tho! i'm not even kidding, imagine inital D in real life in a damn skoda! except no guard rails and a cliff 200ft down into the ocean. oh and some crazy euro dood in an 18wheeler 20cm away from your rear bumper. o_O

we stopped on this reallllyy long bridge because we heard that you might be able to see whales off of it; but we diden't, so i took this :)

Attachment 18013

so that was it for scotland; so we flew back to england to catch a flight to paris

Attachment 18014

Paris:

this is why i love europe, it is illegal to hold a cell phone to your head while driving or riding a bike....this guy gave a good example as the cops caught him riding a bike and on his cell phone, they diden't hesitate to hold up a busy street to hand him a ticket..LOL

that's it for tonight, i just have the pics from the Louve, got some pretty good ones of the mona lisa, venus di milo, and some other famous paintings and sculptures. i'll post those up tomorow night.

cool pictures
i still remember in London i asked for "washroom" and they looked at my asian face like i was some kinda alien..

i also remember i never got to go to the 3rd floor of the tower cuz i thought i was able to walk up there.. but the stairs were locked after 2nd floor..and there was no elevator from 2nd to the top! that's the thing i regret the most when i think about my past trip to Paris...
