Alexandre III Bridge at Night

A man and the R&H Hall
As we were photographing the R&H Hall building the other morning, Henry spotted a boat, the Simon Princess, sailing towards us. I thought the boat might pull in on the other side of the river, but no, it stopped just a few metres away. As it passed slowly, I caught a nice photo of one…
