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.

Love this shot!!! The pink lamps...the depth of field...well done V!!!
I dont mind in the slightest that it is pink :)
I love them! Where exactly are they?
I would have called you out—this pink is too lovely to be anything but what it is!
It is a very nice photo, Virginia. I don't recall seeing lamps like these before.
A very photogenic building. Would love to visit it. I'm no expert but 'pink' just seems too understated. How about 'cerise'?
Beautiful color. I see they are located somewhere along Rue de Rivoli. I miss so much in Paris because I'm usually too tired to go wandering around at night. Really appreciate your photos.
Those are really "Fancy Nancy" lanterns! What a find!
Ah! Virginia - this is oh! so pretty - oh! so Parisian -definitely rose. Love love love this pic!
Ooh ... Fantasy lights! How lovely!
Love these cerise, hot pank, fushia, whatever-color lamps! Divine, Ms. V!
Vreni,
I would say closer to the Concorde end of RIvoli, across from Tuileries.
I enjoy seeing Paris through your lens, gives me a lot to be looking out for !
Luscious!
It looks close enough to me.
What I need to know is just where Genie came up with 'hot pank'? Is there a recess in her brain that she is not letting on about?
Lovely! Just found this photography blog.

Beautiful photo!
Linda
These lights are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
Oh and Julie,
Down here in the south , HOT PANK, translates to Hot PInk, but you must know by now that "we talk funny"! :)
Well, yes, just so ... although Genie's accent is subdued ... but 'hot pank' has a wonderful sense of humour to it ... so the south has that too ...
Julie, yes, PANK is definitely a color. My mother used it all the time. Sort of like yellow and yeller! :)

The storms have passed thankfully, and we are safe. Pray for those in other areas in the SE that are devastated!
Tres belle!
I saw these first chez Shell Sherree.
I love them! beyond words!
