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.

I love that ~ is it an inky midnight blue? Or is it a bluey-black. Striking, and a beautiful foil for the red, indeed.
Lovely photo!
Nice colours!
Greetings

A perfect shade of red, a perfect shade of blue thrown in with a touch of Paris...does it get any better than that?
Jeanne :)
WEll on my computer and from what I remember, it's very very purple!
Virginia - this doorway and window look very familiar! Was this taken on the rive droit, just before la Seine , perhaps on rue du pont Louis Philippe?
In any case, another striking image for your Paris Rouge series...
Oh, that's just lovely. (Purple over here, Virg.)
I'm more intrigued by the detail of the doorway.
Fabulous .. and very Elizabeth Ardenish
I see purple!!! and some smashing red!!!
Very Parisian!!!
Excellent neighbours...I am sure they get on famously...xv
Who ever said Paris is a "gray" city? I've definitely heard that, but you disprove it time and again, Virginia. Love these gorgeous saturated colors.
Oh Alexa, Paris is indeed gray a lot, if you are talking about the weather and the sky. But.......the stores, the cafes......oh the rest make up for it. Today's photo says it all. Thank you for noticing! :)
