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.

Beautiful. There were some lovely tethered boats captured in the Tour De France final last night.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I must go there next time! This scene stimulates the senses and soothes at the same time!
Row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is but a Parisian dream!
Perfection ... 3 boats, reflections .. and the angle: ooh la la
Yummy and dreamy: colors, reflections and the promise of a romantic row on this serene lake.
The color of these boats set against the dark color of the lake is perfect. Your composition is A+.
The composition is fantastic. Good Job
I agree with all : colors, composition, atmosphere, reflection, perfect angle.. in one word, a great picture
Beautifully composed, V—and timeless!
Great framing! Awesome, as usual.
Lovely image! Very romantic with a touch of Monet inspiration.

I knew you all would love this photograph. Wonderful day in paris. Peter and I had been to the Musée Marmottan Monet to see the Yann Arthus- Bertrand exhibit of his fabulous Paris From Above photos. I asked where the boats were taken from. Peter said the Bois de Bologne and we were able to walk from there. Another Paris moment pour moi.
"Maman les p'tits bateaux qui vont sur l'eau ont-ils des jambes ?... mais oui petit nigaud, s'ils n'en avaient pas ils n'avanceraient pas..."
Très belles photos qui font agréablement rêver...
Gros bisous.
Lovely image!
Excellent composition!
I think we would call them 'barques' rather than 'chaloupes' which are used for tenders/life boats on big liners.
Great composition and wonderful colours, I like this image!
Out of time! the pic could have been taken years ago..
I loooove this one. I don't know why, I just do.
J'aime!!
I love this!
This is brilliant! Awesome image, V.!
We went for a "sail" on on of those little rowing boats a few years back my GF was petrified the whole time we would capsize sooo funny! but we had a pic nic and bottle of wine which helped calm her nerves if only a little. A great day indeed. Great photo thanks
