Street painting has been a culture in Europe since 16th century. It is an street art normally done by those unknown local artist with the intention of raising money from the public. These artists normally copy a painting onto the public street with sidewalk chalk from the morning and complete it by the evening and wash it off afterward. It does normally attract crowds and donations.

I took this photo on a street painting in Florence. This artist was painting the “Madonna and child” with reference to a copy of the artwork in his left hand. It was 7pm and the painting was nearly completed. 4 plates were placed at 4 corners of the painting frame. Great work! Huge crowds were drawn to the scene and coins kept filling up the plate. I bet this guy had really good fun and ‘fund’ to paint it everyday repeat and repeat…

A snapshot of Arc De Triomphe (Triumphal Arch) in Paris, from underneath looking upward. This is something different from what you’ve seen normally. This 50m high monument was built in 1830s, to honour those who fought for France during the Napoleonic Wars. Those names inscribed on the inside walls are French generals involved in wars. I took this travel photo on my recent Europe travel to Paris and some other parts of Western Europe.
Technical Data: Nikon D60 with Tamron SP10-24mm, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/125s, Aperture F5.6 at 10mm focal length, No flash, sRGB color space.

We had a relatively good weather on our 3rd day in London. Though it was raining during certain hours of the day, we still had enough bright sun and blue sky to shoot photos to capture the best landmarks in London. As I mentioned before, great photos need good lighting, the photo below explained it perfectly.
This is the front facade building of St. Pancras International, the international train station being the Terminal for EuroStar inter-continental train connecting London with Paris. This orange Gothic Revival architecture was designed by the famous local architect, George Gilbert Scott. It is located at Euston Road, in between British Library and Kingscross Train Station.
As you can see now, it was barricaded for a major renovation works to upgrade it to the 245 rooms Marriott Renaissance Hotel St. Pancras which is due to be completed in year 2011. However, St. Pancras station is still operational and Kingscross underground station has an underpass tunnel connecting to St. Pancras’s Eurostar terminal. If you’re taking Eurostar train to Paris, here is where you should check in for departure. We completed our London travel here before leaving for Paris. - Travel Feeder, your ultimate travel photo blog

We haven’t been doing this for a very long time since the last travel photo quiz of China. I would love to have another quiz today. Look at the photo below.
