Was going to process a whole lot of Paris photos last week but unfortunately broke the laptop screen. Finally, fixed it by replacing the LCD from another laptop.
This is the pyramid outside the Louvre Museum. Quite an impressive place with so much to see that you need at least a week to appreciate all the wonders in it.
The image is an HDR from 3 frames.
First photo of 2018! Happy new year everybody :)

a smooth-sided pyramid built in the 24th century BC for the Egyptian pharaoh Unas.
Unas built his pyramid between the complexes of Sekhemket and Djoser, in North Saqqara. Anchored to the valley temple at a nearby lake, a long causeway was constructed to provide access to the pyramid site. The pyramid is situated on the Saqqara plateau and lies on a line running from the pyramid of Sekhemkhet to the pyramid of Menkauhor.[18] The site required the construction of an exceptionally long causeway to reach a nearby lake, suggesting the site held some significance to Unas.
This ancient pyramid must be located in Saudi Arabia, not Egypt, given the male tour guide's clothing. (Hey, I couldn't find any figures in traditional Egyptian garb.) His partner, the buxom female guide? No idea if she's from the area, based on that “pharaoh queen” getup. The tourists are enthralled by the guide's narration of how something so mind-bogglingly immense and grand could have been constructed -- and still remain intact and Krispie after all this time.
UPDATE: The Pyramid Tours have closed permanently. The pyramid finally succumbed to the elements . . . of a teenage boy and his equally sweet-toothed parents! It was hard to watch. But really good!

The Pyramidal Orchid is a small orchid - its pink flower spike forms a pyramidal shape. It grows on chalk grassland, coastal habitats, scrub, roadside verges, old quarries and railway embankments. It flowers in June and July, holding up to 100 flowers. This one was spotted in Moulsecoomb Wild Park, Brighton and Hove.
This was taken on my last day in Cairo, headed up for a last look at the pyramids, and this amazing sky was available. Really made my day.

Or perhaps the pyramids are for the souls of the mice that don't sell before their helium leeks out.
This is the first time I've ever cropped a fish-eye photo.
I have been meaning for years to take a photo of the person inflating the balloons; but hated the result and cropped the circular image to about 70% of the original.
I do like the way that lite fixture sticks out of the circle.
The "Place of Voices" Tikal, Peten, Guatemala. The most famous archeological site in Guatemala. Tikal was the capital of a state that became one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Maya. Though monumental architecture at the site dates back as far as the 4th century BC, Tikal peaked during the Classic Period, about 200 to 900 AD.
This was taken during our last Wednesday evening walk, in September. We couldn't quite see the sunset from this position, but I loved the light on the windows.
Looking out to sea from Pyramid on Killiney Hill, Dublin, Ireland. The two ladies kindly agreed to pose for me.

This is the biggest mountain overlooking Jasper as viewed across Pyramid Lake.
Lighting conditions - early morning sun on the mountain, also there was quite a lot of smoke haze from forest fires on the side of the sky where the sun was (this gave the nice golden light on the mountain and forest).
I shot this hand held with a 20mm AF-D Nikkor f2.8 at f11, 1/30, 800 ISO.
