Beautiful sunset Virginia, sans mots... Where did you climb? I'm always wondering what is that huge ugly building (left of TE) inevitably sneaking into every shot with Tour Eiffel? If Parisians managed to demolish quite a few Guimard's houses and even metro entrances, couldn't they take of this monster out of the view?
It is an incredible perspective of Paris that you found, and shared through your talent. Le ciel, in both senses of the word, n'est-ce pas? PS I left you a response at my blog, thank you so much for stopping over. I'm thinking about your idea....!!! Merci...
I feel as if I have just been transported back to the 50's or the 60's with the lovely tones that you have in this picture. Certainly a romantic and very special feeling to this V.
Was that from the roof of Gallerie Lafayette? You hit the perfect miment for lighting. I must remember that in the future -- we hit it midday on gray-sky day.
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.

You don´t need to say anything. Words would ruin the atmosphere...
Oh wow.
C'est tout!

Superbe. L'Opéra et un coucher de soleil: Deux cadeaux! Merci, Virginia. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Magnifique. A great image of your city V.
You photograph, therefore you do not need to say, dear V... {though I always love hearing what you have to say!}
Excellent!
As you say nothing... I say nothing. Not needed! :-)
Can't think of anything you need to say...
Except maybe where you were? Hanging onto to the radio tower above Galeries Lafayette?
Breathtaking!

Nathalie, You are so right. It looks like a huge Holiday Inn in the distance there! :)
For all you who ask, I was rooftop at Galeries Lafayette! The perfect spot to watch the sun set in the winter months.
You don't have to say a thing. My little heart is going pitty-pat!
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Once again, you've outdone yourself! Beautiful!
Oh that sky and the perfection of the rays against the building. As for the music - heaven!
My favorite moment of the day .. with sunrise! Superbe photo!
Nothing else ! It's marvellous !

Words are not needed!
...Absolutely nothing. If a picture is worth a thousand words this photo would be it! :)
I'll have to go along with the consensus here, V—what a gorgeous shot!
What a wonderful shot! The light is spectacular
You've been holding out on us!! This is stunning, V. The Queen of Paris!!
super beau
Virgina, thousand excuses
I do not know what happened
I am writing from an iphone and something definitely went so wrong

Merci to you all for your kind comments and not a single one of you mentioned that you had never known me not to have something to say! :)
Bises,
V

I knew from the photo that you were at Galeries Lafayette! I've taken similar pictures from there.
I feel as if I have just been transported back to the 50's or the 60's with the lovely tones that you have in this picture. Certainly a romantic and very special feeling to this V.
Virginia, you just said a Thousand Beautiful Words...
Thank you for your visit, belle amie!
Un moment paisible qui pourrait être celui de la méditation...
Quelle belle prise.
Gros bisous.
Magnificent.
Unbelievably beautiful!!!
