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.

Looks vaguely reminiscent...
What is it about rain that makes everything look so compelling at night with the lights!
A wonderful (very familiar) sight, just around the corner from the apartment! You found lots of "rouge" for this one...very nice night shot, V.

I would have liked to have been there with you even if it was raining. Love the red lights and the reflections.
Oh this is just lovely, Virginia. Rain and lights make such a wonderful combination and Paris helps!
Your creativity never ceases to amaze! This is a perfect Paris Rouge.
A rainy night in Paris beats a rainy night in Cincinnati ANY TIME...
Rouge, rouge everywhere! Love it. And—good for us— the rain didn't stop you from whipping out your camera.
Love the reflections.
Was it more or less late at night? I would expect a lot of traffic chaos for a rainy night in Paris...
God bless you!

Paris on a rainy night with lots of reflections. That's where I want to be. Great shot!
OMGosh! I love this shot. Stunning reflection from the lights.
BTW, we share a love of Humbolt Fog. You're not surprised, are you? ;)
Ah mon amie j'adore cette photo.
It turns rain into a photographer's dream rather than a dreadful nuisance!
I do not know, why it doesn't seem wet, but polished.;)
compliments.
OMG, V, this is sublime. :D
ET, Phone home and fill me in. It's not le Roi de CDP in disguise??? :)
Looks like Rue St. Honoré. I love the reflections.
Wow, I missed this one, V. It's wonderfully atmospheric. Love it.
This is so romantic with the red light. Great shot!
