A rainy day made way for a glorious sunset. As night approached we were treated to this slice of moon over Paris. Can't you just hear our ohhs and aahhs!! My thanks to Mary with the keen eye, for spotting it.

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 am imagining stylish people are eating wonderful food and clinking glasses of robust red, listening to atmospheric music in the rooms with lights on. aaahhh.
Yessss! The multiple chimney pots make the shot as much as the moon does.
Loved yesterday's "tour eiffel dans le brouillard" too.
Not only the moon, but the terrific light on the building and all those little chimney pots combine to make this a super photo!
Fantastic photo and the first comment by "Diane" took the words right out of my mouth!!
I am enjoying your blog so much.
Pamela :)
I love the "blue hour" in Paris...and yes Diane, there were cafes at the street level where the stylish were clinking and communing...ah the life!
ohhh........
She's good at spotting photo ops .. I bet if she used a camera she'd be awesome
Can you hear MY ooohs and aaahs? Wonderful, V! And I'm with the others—those chimney pots definitely add a certain je ne sais quoi here.
Beautiful, beautiful! Thank you so much.
HI Virginia, this is gorgeous love the colours and composition and the moon. Of course. . CArla
Daryl,
Actually Mar brought a camera along and we were caught elbowing each other and Peter out of the way to get the best shots! HA
Virginia, your diversity in pictures is absolutely brilliant!
I noticed something in this picture that I notice every time I'm in the city, there are very few lights on in the buildings. Surely they can't ALL be in bed that early?
You alway catch the best of a city I love...
Ooooh, aaaah, sigh, boohoo...
Hi Virginia,
My name's Alex, and I'm a 22-year old newly minted college graduate who studied -- you guessed it -- French.
I've loved your blog for some time now, but I felt absolutely compelled to comment on this photo: Mansard roofs and pretty skies. My favorite parts of Paris, c'est sûr!
Merci beaucoup for all the beautiful pictures,
Alex
V,
All photos in this outstanding blog telling with sensory impressions of the city of love.
