J'adore Sacre Coeur, I can just imagine the view over a 'Christmas' Paris, spectacular. Have you sepia'd this shot Virginia, or was it just that kind of day?
I love the new banner with the Christmas tree ornaments. And such a great shot of the chruch through the strings of lights. I hope you'll play along the Dreaming of France meme on Monday. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
Christmas magic - works a treat - I'm smiling! And a BIG thumbs up for your lovely déco de Noël - simply wonderful and full of meaning :) On the risk of repeating myself once more: We see things the same way - no wonder I love your photos! Consider yourself hugged and embrassée de ton amie près de Paris...
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.

That's such a gorgeous shot. A really different mood for a very familiar subject.

I like the effect of the triple composition, and the feeling of being an intruder.
Beautiful shot Virginia!
Great Christmas photo!
What a wonderful church in the background of this lovely photo.
Beautiful shot V! Would love to see this photo when the lights were on!
Just lovely. Splendid. :)
