The face on this beautiful angel at the entrance of Montmartre's Église Saint Jean l'Evangeliste ( featured last Sunday here) has captivated me since the first time I set eyes on her on my visit in 2008. Unfortunately, the angle required to capture her at her best, has escaped me...twice! This last visit in January, the weather was cold and rainy, again. I still couldn't compensate for the the glare. I've done what I can in editing and decided to share her as is. Perhaps I'll get another chance one day.

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.

Bien sûr...you'll get your chance!
Just catching up. Lovely posts for the last 3 days!
The angel is wonderful, Virginia, and those round tiles (?) are really something. I didn't even notice the glare until you scolded yourself.
Ditto to what Jack said! I was immediately entranced by the tile work surrounding the lovely lady!
Me too! Me too! The detail...
Can't imagine you can get a better shot of this charming angel, but if you say so . . . Meanwhile, I love this!
You only need a ladder.
Starman, I'll get Peter to procure a ladder and I'll climb right up and get her just as I have wanted to! HA
Oh V you captured her perfectly!!
Happy Sunday to you!

I'm totally mesmerized by this picture...
God bless you!

No matter the angle, this is a beautiful shot of a gorgeous angel!
I am so glad that you all loved her as much as I did, and overlooked my marginal photograph. If I get lucky enough to see my Paris again, I'll go right back and take one worthy.

Virginia, I zoomed to 200 then to 400 and at 400 I could finally see her face fully. She was pretty good at 200 but best at 400. Forget the ladders! Her face is there! Good one!
You really have the eye for the interesting "details"! Yes, this church is so different and has many interesting "details"!
Love the beautiful curves in this! the perfect angle/angel!
