Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce at At Home with Books. To participate, post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

I was going through some old pictures this week and found a couple of old photos I wanted to share. These are from a birthday trip I took to Paris in 2005.

If you look very closely, you can see two firemen in red suits, dangling from a line. They were using the base of the Eiffel Tower for rescue training – perfect spot! (You can see them better in the larger photo – just click.)
