Yesterday
was July 14th, the French National Holiday. There were fireworks at the Eiffel
Tower... and disco music. I was among the thousands (hundreds of thousands?) people
watching. I took a few tens of photos. The relatively good ones are vertical, but
Blogger doesn’t seem to accept vertical photos, at least not mine. My PC is not
working properly, so I cannot make my usual collages… I managed to upload the only
two horizontal photos I took; one from before the fireworks, one from when they
just started. At least, they prove that I was there. I may revert with a new
post about these fireworks if I get my PC to work again within a couple of
days. (My PC problem is also an excuse why I will be even less than usual
visiting your blogs. Sorry! )

At least, we got to see these two great shots! What browser do you use? If it's Firefox, it could be their problem. Robb started having all kinds of problems with Firefox. I mostly use Opera or Chrome, and rarely ever use Firefox.
I use chrome and I have no problems with loading pictures either. I watched the fireworks from my computer: here http://dai.ly/NpYwbL
I was there last year, getting the life squeezed out of me. Wonderful. :D
I love fireworks and your pictures are brilliant, the second composition is magnificent!
Thanks for sharing!
hugs and a nice week ahead.

I knew you'd be a "vertical" guy one day! :) Love these. And you know the way to the Apple Store. Go buy yourself a new one! :)

An excellent excuse indeed!
Sorry about your PC glitches, Peter, but at least you got two good shots. Actually, the one of the fireworks is stunning.
Such stunning photos, Peter!
Thanks!

C'est pas pour faire vite mais tu as de belles pictures, les deux mon général. La tower semblent en cristal.
Gorgeous picture of the fireworks. Oh, to have been there!
It's always frustrating when technology is not on our side! I cross my fingers and hope things will work out. Thanks for these two atmospheric snaps!
Happy 14th July!
Love these photos, Peter!
Hope your PC comes back to life... maybe it's been drinking while you're not looking?
Am using Chrome these days, since Blogger started giving messages that said Explorer was no longer supported. Have no problem with vertical photos or horizontal.
Bonsoir Peter. I know you must be crumbling under the weight of prestigious distinctions after all these years blogging, but I still sent a blogging Award your way tonight. :-) Well deserved if you ask me. Hope your computer problems have been solved. Best, Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Je l'ai vu à télé ainsi que celui de Carcassonne. Ici, il a été annulé à cause du très mauvais temps.
Moi, j'ai eu une coupure internet depuis le 14 juillet jusqu'à hier matin 9h30. Merci Orange !
Paris, a romantic place that I would definitely love to visit and explore with my husband if given a chance.
Fireworks in Paris with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop is extraordinary!
