You really captured a lot, with your special eyes, from our walk around Place des Vosges! (By the way, the scultpures were still there about a week ago.)
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.

Very special reflections and I'm curious about the artwork inside, it's very interesting!

What a great composition, V! (I have friends who own two of these sculptures, and they set theirs up to cast some neat shadows.)

Very cool~ and an interesting exhibit. :)
Girly stuff.
Peter,
I think we've photographed these several times. I have a black one I think we shot in January as well.
Alexa, the black one that Peter and I shot last, had some marvelous shadows. I'll post it one day! :)
Love the colors!
Oo la la. I can't think of any comment that I can make that won't get me in trouble. Postings on the internet last for a long, long time.
You take the most fabulous pictures! Thank you.
I love this shot!
Oh la la! saucy reflections Virginia, love them and love the music!
Well, Place des Vosges is one of my favourite spots in Paris, so I know this gallery and have already taken some photographs.
