From the same series as last week: the Champs Elysées with Christmas lighting. Why everybody who visits Paris wants to stroll along this most polluted, busiest and extremely touristy avenue in town still is beyond me, even after 4 years, but you sure can take some nice pictures over there. I think I just might have answered my own question…

Place de la Concorde, the special end-of-the-year ferris wheel and a slow shutter speed make for fun photography. Paris always seems to be on the move, except for the tried and trusted old architecture and monuments that remain a safe haven. You can see them here, steadfast among hectic city life. Paris, ça bouge!

Perhaps I should explain what I was doing on a speedboat in Rotterdam: Ford introduced its brand new nifty little Ka to its dealer network and chose me to photograph things again. Same disclaimer: I still drive Volvo; as it’s built on a Ford platform and sports a Peugeot diesel engine I figure I can do all events of most major car manufacturers.
