This beautifully handpainted (inside and out) cart is used to carry watering cans and other tools to the graves at Cimetière de Passy. The French always seem to find a way to turn function into art!

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.

Reflection?
Une manière d'embellir la dernière demeure...
gros bisous
Yes,of course! why should usual and useful things be ugly?!
Have a nice sunday!
The more artsy fartsy the better, non?!
Bonne anniversaire encore un fois, V de B!
How true --- why should the functional be mundane when you can make it beautiful and unique!
Very different from our wheelbarrows in design and I love the "garden art" displayed on the sides. As Adeeya suggested, it almost looks like a reflection.
Great angle for the photo, V! Lovely.
What Malyss said Virginia. How clever of you to spot and capture this image.
AGAIN...leave it to the French...AND..your little Parisian girl is going in the mail TODAY at my local supermarché post office!!!! Anita
Nice.
Some would leave it plain, some would paint the outside only—but leave it to les français to embellish it on the inside too. Nice capture, V!
It's so pretty - now who but the French would think to paint their water cart so delicately?
This may be the obvious French remark, but shucks :
Chouette la brouette !!!
PS, I finally got around this weekend to seeing Michael Moore's movie "Sicko"... have you seen that ? The scenes in Paris were interesting... going around with SOS Medecins, and observing how the French work to live, and not vice versa, vacation time and all. So even in their graveyards they pursue the ethic of quality of life, or should we say, quality of death afterwards?
