Rue Royale from Eglise de la Madeleine, you can see the Place de la Concorde, Assemblée Nationale and Les Invalides, I think:

More pictures of Paris:

Palais Royal, Colonnes de Buren//Les Deux Plateaux. The B/W columns make this the perfect location to use the Leica Monochrome picture profile:

Thank you,, John, I like your serie about Amsterdam. The use of LUTs is really convenient. I did not know the Moco Museum. I understand it is about Modern and Contemporary art, right? Next time in Amsterdam I will visit it for sure (I know the Rijks, Stedelij, Van Gogh, Rembrandt Huis and the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen, but I did not know about the Moco, thank you!!).

You almost have been to more musea in the Netherlands than I did Z04 Kaputtlachen

I understand there are also Moco musea in London and Barcelona
 
So @xaviergut do you also like bananas taped to a wall kind of art? As a kid my parents often bought Museum Cards, so I’ve been to lot of museums as well :). I like the old masters, not the banana tapers.

Yes, my parents were painters. I visited a lot of museums in my life. Now I work in the contemporary art branch, this is the reason I visited so many museums in Amsterdam.

Hahahaha I prefer old masters too. ESpecially Dutch ones, like Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Rubens, but my favourite is Vermeer.
 
In May I usually go up the road a ways to the Los Angeles Natural Area and take some pictures of the Yucca plants in bloom. They can grow pretty tall here, maybe eight feet. But this is not a good year for California wildflowers in general, and the Yuccas are not at their best. Nevertheless here are a few shots.

There were a few cactus in bloom today. Bees love these blooms and they dive into the pollen beds.

1/1000 sec isn't fast enough to freeze a hovering bee

The Pacific Crest Trail passes through the Natural Area. This trail goes from the Mexican border at the south to the Canadian border at the north. It is a busy time of the year as schools are letting out and students find the time to hike the trail with friends. Everyone goes different distances along this 2661 mile trail. A typical student here might hike to Mile 767 and then climb Mt. Whitney (the highest peak in the lower 48 states).

Hah. Now I really want to get you by the Nelson-Atkins. :)

The Nelson doesn't have a lot of Dutch, but it has a few; a couple of Rembrandts, but more of the lesser-known ones like Hendrik van Vliet:
