Alexa, The silhouette of the lamp did it for me! I think it almost looks like it could be part of the mural. Now if I could just PS that darn billboard out of the picture!
This is sooo excellent, V. The artwork I could do without. Take that away and you've got your own piece of art which could hang in one of the Paris museums!
What a great find!!! Thanks for all that walking in Paris to find these photos for us. And to think I was staying in the Marais and missed seeing this.
My first thought was that the billboard was an intrusion but, having pondered, I think it really adds to the photo - so many different layers within the image.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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 could look at that all day ... what a neat find
It's a wonderful find, but your composition has made it even better—love those lamps!

I like the colors very much.
