berita-tentang-fashion: Strasbourg and Paris Sights

As promised, here are some photos from the France portion of my trip. I'll start off with a few from Strasbourg.

You can't visit Strasbourg without taking a look at the magnificent cathedral, which is so large and imposing it can be seen for miles around.

The west side of the cathedral is built in the late Gothic style.

It's impossible to even fit the whole building into a single frame.

Here's the other side of the cathedral, which is in the Romanesque style.

A quaint little square near the cathedral, with lots of the German style timber-framed buildings that are common in Strasbourg. And a giant boulder. I'm guessing it was too much trouble to move it, so they just built around it. That's what I'd do anyway.

The next stop on the trip was Paris, where I was lucky enough to meet up with the fabulous D�j� Pseu of Une Femme d'un Certain Age. This was the second time we happened to both be in Paris at the same time, so I figured it was a sign that we ought to meet. Sadly I did not take pictures, which is actually ok because to me that just means we were enjoying our conversation.

You've all seen pictures of the usual Paris sights before, so I'll share a few of the details that stood out.

The spectacular interior of the Palais Garnier Opera house, with its beautiful Beaux-Arts detailing. On the left is the grand staircase, and on the right is the foyer.

Inside the theater is a modern ceiling by Marc Chagall, and a bronze and crystal chandelier that weighs an impressive 7 tons.

Here's the only other outfit photo I got while I was traveling.

I love how it looks like this guy is squeezing the fish really hard to make it spit water. Another statue looks like he's playing air guitar with his fish.
