What are the chances that it would snow in Paris over the weekend AND that Belle Inspiration Magazine would publish a group of my Paris in the Snow photos at the same time? To celebrate, I decided to share one of the photographs they featured, the courtyard of The American Cathedral in Paris during a delightful snowfall in January 2010. If you want to see some nice photographs from this weekend's snow, slide on over to Peter's Paris and have a look at his!

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.

Lovely shot, quite uncommon in Paris. I visited Peter's page as well. He has some incredible photos of frozen Parisians. ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Great pic and congratulations with having your photos published. Very well deserved.
Congratulations! You deserve this publication, this picture is marvellous and so poetic and romantic!
An exquisite photo, V, and congratulations on all of the wonderful things that are happening for you! I'm so delighted your talent is being recognised. x0
Superb your snow photos, almost in b&w! Yes, a real pity you missed the snow during your last visit, just a little bit too early! But, at least, you have seen Paris and your beloved Palais Royal covered in white!
Congrats on the photos being published! The cold looks better than it feels, though. lol
Lovely shot! And felicitations!
Fantastic!
I enjoyed Peter's post too, especially the collages of all the people wrapped up trying to stay warm!
Congratulations. Your photos are incredible. How fabulous to be published - a well deserved honor.
Sam
Felicitations, V de B! Congrats on getting your photos published! Bravo!
Congratulations! It is a well-deserved honor!
I love this photo, the ancient-ness of the stone reverberates in the cold of the snow
Love this photo with patina and crispy air, sheltered from wind and city sounds.
Congratulations! Wish you MORE publications to come. Good for you Virginia!
Natalie
Great shot of the cathedral courtyard!!! All great pics!
Congratulations V!!! I love love that photo that they published of yours!
It is an amazing shot.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are a GREAT photographer and this photo is just one example. I LOVE this shot.
Vos photos sont magnifiques, et Paris sous neige un émerveillement ! Bravo l'artiste et surtout quelle amoureuse vous êtes !
à bientôt
Danielle
Félicitations to you—and also to Belle Inspiration for having the good sense (and good taste) to recognize what we all know: your photos are super!
I looked through your photos. They are wonderful! Congrats! Jenny from Saltaire is having a solo show and you are having a thirteen page spread in a magazine? You guys are making the rest of us feel like bozos.
Absolutely stunning photo! Wish I was there.
I agree totally with Alexa - fabulous photos and how smart of Belle Inspiration to acknowledge same!
Congratulations Virginia. How wonderful to have your photos published. This is fabulous ... Quintessential Parisienne Winter ... slate rooves shining with moisture, arched windows looking down onto a grey courtyard blanketed in snow. What more could we ask for. Thx.
Quite the coincidence. Congrats!
Congratulations, V! That is just spectacular!
