I love the way the French are able to turn major renovation projects into something creative and artistic. Spotted in Montmartre. I wouldn't mind a few of those on my new walls. LOVE the rouge scaffolding of course.

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.

Have a nice and happy day****
So charmingly clever
I wonder if they leave the art there when it rains?
Not sure how I feel about the art, but love the way the artist made use of the nifty red scaffolding—and the way you captured the whole thing, of course!
This is really something...Paris is certainly a photographers heaven!
Yes V we do get to Paris in alot of ways! Thank goodness too!
Starman, that day up on the "hill" it had rained and rained. Things still looked good here by the afternoon for our stroll down. :)
Cildemer,
