View from the Outfield Recently, when I go to a ball game, I've started getting up and walking around the ballpark. Yes, I'm usually taking photos as I go, but I enjoy getting to experience the different vantage points you can watch the game from. Sure, there are the coveted seats behind home plate, but there are a lot of other interesting places from which to view the game. This view is from centerfield. It's a bit far for my taste, but it's less crowded and you stand a better chance of getting a home run ball than the guys behind the bases. This is another view of Constellation Field in Sugar Land, TX.
Notre Dame de Paris We first saw the Notre Dame de Paris cathedral at night, and even then you could see it was something to marvel at. We didn't tour the inside until later and it was just as grand on the inside. European history is so much more fascinating than America's, since everything is so much older and full with centuries of history. This cathedral was started in 1163 and completed in 1345. It has been restored a few times since, but still holds true to its original design.
Fishing Piers If you ever visit Pensacola Beach in Florida, then you can’t miss two things, the beach ball water tower and the Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier. The pier is a fun place to walk on, but make sure you take a walk under it also. The waves crashing against the piers can be quite a site when the waves get rough. Early in the morning or late in the evening things can be very calm too, so it’s always an interesting place to visit. Take your camera as there is always a lot of people watching to be had, or at least the always present, camera-happy seagulls.
