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.

Gorgeous! I adore the lighting of this photo..was it dusk? I hope to see the same beauty when I'm in Paris! It cannot come sooner
Incredible sculpture on the gate. I wish I could be there to capture these images myself
A refreshing perspective: Sunbathers immortalized!
What a beautiful view. I didn't do anything like that in my college days, V. My loss, clearly.
Never thought of them as sun-blathers .... great perspective! Love the light in this shot!
now be honest Virginia, no comparison with the roof of the eagle dorm ...
In the nude?
Absolutely stunning V! I love this photo. :) Were you able to get a bronze tan on your dorm roof! :)
I was going to ask the same thing as Starman! Meanwhile, yet more proof that it pays to look up. :~}
Umm, some of these ladies are topless, Virginia. Are there photographs of your college sunbathing days?
Stunning light - beautiful photo and how wonderful that it evokes such happy memories. Have a lovely weekend F xx
Lovely pink sky.
Looks like you are conveniently side-stepping the topic that Starman and Jack are bringing up........
Well I've been challenged so I"ll answer. In my college days there might have been a few two piece bathing suits but certainly not what these lovelies on the top of le Louvre are showing. :) It's Paris after all.

You see that a lot here, working in a college campus town! Looks prettier on the Louvre!
Haha that Jack is a naughty boy hey Virginia!! Beautiful light on these sunbathing belles!
These sunbathers should normally be sure to stay marble white, however... the pollution! :-)
