Merci Peter, for steering me into this lovely place my first afternoon in Paris. By this time I was in a jet lag haze, but the sight of this beautiful stairway with the red wall, and later the reading room perked me right up.

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.

Good composition
Une superbe capture...
Gros bisous
it is good to know what to do to alleviate jet lag
There are always many things left undone after a visit to Paris. On our last visit we stayed a block away from this, but I never ventured inside. Thankfully there is always the promise of next time. And till then I have this image to tide me over.
I love the place...
Very inviting...
The answer to jet lag - a friend like Peter! And voila! A beautiful photo.
Does anyone know Paris better than Peter?
Hello, Virginia.
Your splendid works enhance charm spectator still more.
The warmth such as the fireplace will be offered to the audience in harsh this winter.
I praise your wonderful work.

Have a good weekend. From Japan, ruma ❃

Are you sure this isn't Pasadena City Hall from your trip out here V???!!! Love the building and the beautiful railings!
another wonderful perspective
Wow—you're up to LXXX? I think that the planes and curves and angles in this composition are just fantastique, V! And that spot of red is the cherry on top, so to speak.
Oh Virginia - I love this blog (and your others also). This photo is amazing. Paris through your eyes is very beautiful!
Linda
very inviting, love the music.

I do love this view you found here! The staircases are stunning.
The details are lovely, and the perspective makes the shot so much more interesting. Well done.
Wonderful composition Virginia, the touch of red makes it fabulous!
For a photographer like you, the jet lag is not a problem!
