My drive from New Castle, England to Glenshee, Scotland took me along the UK coast. Driving on the Left Was Quite an Experience.
Europe 02
The 00/01 Season Was the Best for Scottish Ski Resorts in 35 years. It Was Foggy w/ 30 mph Wind, Snow and Rain - YUCK!
Europe 03
I Stayed w/ Sue & Ben Elliott @ Their Home in Braemar, Scotland. The Glenshee Ski Resort Boasts the UK's Largest Ski Lift System with 25 Lifts.

My UK colleagues at the Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium. From Left to Right: Don Lewis, Alex Borthwick & Big Al Hill.

Europe 07
A Street Artist Decided I Made a Great Model While Eating Dinner at an Outdoor Cafe Near Le Sacre-Coeur.
Europe 08
I'm Think the Arch de Triumph was Built to Memorialize Those That Died in the Allied Victory in World War I.
Europe 09
Getting to the Arch is Quite a Feat. You Venture Out into Traffic and Dodge Cars to Make it to Your Destination.
Europe 10
The Detail in the Stone Work was Incredible (Pretty Much the Case Throughout Paris).
Europe 11
Self explanatory! I Waited on the 2nd Level for Over a Hour in the Cold Wind to Ascend the Tower to its Pinnacle.
Europe 12
The Eiffel Tower is 320m Tall with Three Observation Areas, Two Elevator Systems and Two Restaurants.

This Photo Provides a Good Perspective of How the Eiffel Tower Dominates the Paris Cityscape.
Europe 14
Pretty Much the Only Proof (Other Than The Hotel Bill) That I Was in Paris.
Europe 15
The Notre Dame Cathedral Was Quite a Site. Built Over a 150 Years w/ Stained Glass, Carvings and Other Inspiring Religious Artifacts.
Europe 16
Quite a Welcoming Committee into the Cathedral. Reminds Me of the Entrance to Westminster Abbey in London, England.
Europe 17
WOW, Wish I'd Been There to See This Live!
Europe 18
The Moulin Rouge Was a Great Blend of Beauty, Color and Tune. Spend the Money to Attend (I paid $120), It Was Worth It!
Europe 19
This Replica Of Liberty's Torch Was Placed Above The Underpass Where Princess Diana Died.
Europe 20
I Spent An Afternoon In The Louvre - Big Mistake! Give Yourself Days To Explore To Structure, Portions Dating From The Early 11th Century.
Europe 21
Close-Up View Of The Fountain On The Louvre Pavillion.
Europe 22
You Had To Look For "Art" In Some Untraditional Places - In Many Cases On The Ceilings Of The Rooms.
Europe 23
Another Case In Point - This Was The Archway Between Adjoining Rooms. Not Sure I'd Stand Under This For Refuge During A Tornado!
Europe 24
This Mantle Adorned The Wall In A Room Dedicated To Greek & Roman Sculptures - Gives You An Indication Of The Size Of The Exhibit Rooms.
Europe 25
Oh Yah There's Real Art In The Louvre As Well - Recognize The Lady In The Back (The One Hanging On The Wall)?
Europe 26
This Painting Hung On The Wall In The Hall Displaying The Mona Lisa - On A Single Wall, All By Itself!
Europe 27
This Is The Famous Aphrodite Sculpture By Michelangelo.
Europe 28
Another Michelangelo Sculpture. Does He Look Like He's Dying To You?
Europe 29
The Park Outside The Louvre Was Packed With People Enjoying The Beautiful Weather (It Looks Much Warmer Than It Was).
Europe 30
Recall This Was A Business Trip? I Spent 3 Weeks At P&G's European Technical Center In Brussels, Belgium.
Europe 31
No, I'm Not Joining Him (Are Those Days Over?).
Europe 32
Bruges Is Near The Belgian Coast, It's Dominated By Buildings From The 15th Century & Is Criss-Crossed With Canals.
Europe 33
Nice Scene, But Way Too Cold To Actually Ride In The Boat! I Restricted My Adventures To The Cobblestone Streets.
Europe 34
One Side Of The Town Square Was Lined With These Quaint Restaurants. I Had A Wonderful Lunch Overlooking The Square On This Beautiful Day.
Europe 35
Guess We're Close To Holland.
Europe 36
The Church Of Our Lady, 13th - 15th Century, Housed This Sculpture Of The Madonna With Child By Michelangelo.

Big Time Blow-Up From Another Photo (Technology At Work In Everyday Life). How Many Church's Do You Know With Artwork Like This?
Europe 38
Guess We Did Spend a FEW Evenings In The Pubs!
