Eiffel tower front view. Everyone takes it, so I had to take one too.
Currently trying to find which floor on the Eiffel Tower did Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker film the fight sequence in Rush Hour 3.

You end up going to a Cinema, just to get lunch on a Sunday, because all the restaurants are closed.
After walking 7.32 km on a sunday to find a open restaurant in Grenoble, I ended up going to a Cinema to get coffee and popcorn for lunch (in a Monsters vs Aliens bag). Everything is closed there on Sundays. And by everything, I mean Everything. Had to put part of the popcorn in a 'Dora the Explorer' plastic bag, so that it doesn't fall off on the road.
Now that's having a meal with the Monsters!

Sorry Eiffel Tower, I had to Giga Pixelize you. A gigapixel is 1 billion pixels! or 1000 Mega pixels. To put it in context, most cameras in the market are around 8 Mega pixels.
Open the image here and zoom in :

How it was made:
The image was constructed with about 230 zoomed-in photographs with overlapping portions . To prevent differences in shade, colour and focusing, the shutter speed, aperture, focus, ISO and White balance were kept fixed in manual mode. After an unsuccessful at stitching in GIMP, the photos were combined using gigapan sticher. Their site shows photos in flash, so easily zoomable.
Although my hotel was 900 meters from the Eiffel tower, I couldn't manage to go up in my 7 day visit. After reaching Paris, I caught a bad flu. The American medicines were no match for the artillery of French bacteria. So in the 7 day period, the only real tourism I did was a 2 hour bus ride. (Resting in bed most of the time). These photos were taken while waiting for the Hop-on-Hop-Off bus.

Laser Lights at a Deep Dish concert @Ministry Of Sound (MOS), London in March, 2008.
While on a trip to London last year, decided to check out the Premises of one of the largest record label in Europe - Ministry Of Sound. Sharam from the dance act 'Deep Dish' was playing that night. Ministry of Sound uses two Martin RGB laser units, which emit Class 4 lasers in all colours. Over all, each unit has a spread angle of 80 x 80 degrees.
Deep Dish is a Grammy winning duo consisting of Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi. They won the Grammy award for remixing the 'Thank You' from from Dido. Check out their 'Say Hello' track.

London's Tower Bridge taken from the North Bank of River Thames at the crack of dawn. Most tourists mistakenly call this structure as the London Bridge (which is just next to it).
Click All Sizes to see bigger resolution. Looks much better then.
Suffering from jet lag after reaching London, I ended up walking 24.4 kilometers (39,000 steps) in a single day, thanks to no transportation after midnight. Later, saw the beautiful sunrise between the pillars of London Bridge.
Incidentally, this was the 666th photo on my new camera. Still, neither did the devil appear, nor did I get attacked by the sleeping hobos.
