I was sight seeing in Paris, in December of 2006. I had seen so many statues. This particular statue had a bird sitting on it's hand. The bird kept moving around. I sat there in the cold waiting for that bird to hold still. As my hands were shaking. I finally took the shot. As soon as I did. The bird flew away. I was lucky the picture came out clear. Since I didn't even have a tripod with me.
