What a sense of mystery here on the quai you have captured and the angle is perfect... Perhaps you should use this one for both composition and lighting in your photo course!
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.

Une belle atmosphère nocturne !
A very atmospheric shot. I would definitely climb those stairs to determine what was at the top.
Great lighting!
I haven't popped by in a while. Love the music and header :)
And of course I love all your photos. Time to catch up I think.
Lovely geometry.

Very mysterious and a bit scary looking! :)
In the evening? Better not to be under the effect of one wine glass too many... :)
God bless you!

You were right in not leaving a caption, V. This one speaks for itself.

I only now realized that all your headings are in French! Bravo!!!
I had the same thought as Suzy—this speaks for itself.
