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.

Very nice shot of heart in fountain that is making me laugh about it...I can't decide if it is a balloon caught in water or a work of art...
très jolie. Spring time and a heart.
Cool fountain!
God bless you!

bon dimanche Virginia
What a LOVEly, refreshing photo filled with a splash of bright colors!
I'm homesick!!!
Wow talk about a shot of colour!! I love hearts and have never seen a fountain like this! Beautiful..
Happy Sunday V !
Mine too! But you help me get back there every day, and I'm so grateful. Great shot, V.
This is such a nice picture to make a nice day! Lovely. Cheers, Peter
Forgive me if I didn't provide enough information on this fountain. It is a rather eclectic installation and I will admit that I have mixed emotions regarding it. Last visit there were some rather depressing black pieces there in addition to Saint Phalle's lighthearted and colorful work. I've never seen it when all it was working at the same time. I don't know where that blame lies! I do love this one though. I hope you'll look back to other posts on this blog and the link I provided.
I still remember the very first time I saw this great fountain (and I was lucky enough that everything was working perfectly). There are some good videos on you tube.
I also have mixed feelings and yet you have taken a fabulous shot of this colorful section of the fountain. I have seen it when all of it was working... Love the action and the café scene in the background.
Well, Virginia, you have given us the happy heart and left out the bothersome parts of the scene, so I'm happy with it! What I don't know won't hurt me.
This photo made me smile. A heart representing love, beautiful colors, and splashing water!
Nicely captured! This made me smile too.
The black pieces are sculptures by Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, the husband of Niki de Saint Phalle. I´ve seen this fountain already in good and bad shape and am always curious to know how´s it doing.
I like it a lot =)
et le mien aussi!
J'aime Paris,j'aime surtout le francais,j'aime le parler,je l'ai etudie...
I am glad to have discovered this blog that brings me a touch of Paris :)
