I bet that you would not be able to see Sacré-Coeur now from that vantage point as those branches will be full of bright green leaves. There are many positives to seasons with bare trees!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in June, 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

A lovely atmospheric view through the half-clad tree. {If I was a "glass half-empty" gal, that would be a half-unclad tree.}
Wonderful perspective! Bon dimanche!!
Beautifully composed, V (and not so easy to play peekaboo with something that large)! Bon dimanche.
Nicely done V!!!

It is nice the way it is peaking out behind the trees, almost as if it were bashful.
My first close-up of Sacré-Coeur, was from behind it through some trees.
Una bellissima inquadratura.
