Eagles of the Ramparts

This photo was taken in Provins, France, a medieval tourist town outside Paris. Among the attractions is the “Eagles of the Ramparts” show, which showcases the history of falconry in the area. The birds were amazing, the falconers were amazing, and the show was enjoyable even though it is in entirely in French. The composition of this photo was largely luck because there was so much happening during the show and everything happened so quickly, but I like how the bird’s wing disappears out of the corner of the photo and the empty space on the left side in the direction they are moving.

Quiet streets of Provins

Provins is a medieval town a couple hour train ride outside of Paris, France. The town is a relatively large tourist attraction so it can be a little busy during the summer but the character of the town is well worth the visit and it is easy enough to escape the crowds and find a little peace and quiet to enjoy the charm of the town.
