Sunny Day in Paris!

I know the photography rule about not taking photos in the harsh midday sun, but after I looked at this one a while, I rather liked the nice shadows that resulted. This sunny little table and chairs I found in le Marais. It was Bastille Day, and I had a wonderful time wandering from the Centre Pompidou, to le Marais and back. One of Paris' oldest areas, it is still one of my very favorite places to stroll, shop and take an incredible amount of photographs. I'm oh, so ready for another visit. Quelle surprise!

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Yes it's sunny days in Paris this week. We have the most perfect weather for automn !
I see that your followers have diseapered too !
Yellow chairs! The sun cut out and shadows are fabulous .. V, you do find the best photo ops
Yet another rule I didn't know about.
Ahhh, perfect photo and a good reason not to follow rules. I'm hoping for lots of sunny days in October.
I didn't lose my followers but checked the Daily Photo home page and there is no theme yet for October 1st and Eric's little logo is an X and says he's suspended.. huh? Didn't he start this? I think there are problems on the home site.
This is lovely! Love the shadows cast by the cutouts in the chairs! Ah, yes, the marais...so lovely!
I can just feel the warmth radiating off this lovely photo. You're right -- great shadows! And always break the photo rules, as you never know when you might get a great shot like this!
