That Vreni knows Paris like the back of her hand! Nice capture of the silhouette and the shadows. I like the contrast of the child with the sculpture, the balance of the round shapes in the background, the lines of the steps, the light vs dark areas, and the patterns of the stones. Love it all, V.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and 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". 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.

He is playing worries have no place and happiness abounds.
Hope that sculpture doesn't dislodge!
The light and shadow you've captured is spectacular, dear V!
Peu importe, c'est un enfant heureux de vivre...
Gros bisous
