I complain about the rain, but then it delivers some nice reflections and silhouettes.

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.

Although I don't prefer the rain when I'm in Paris, I do love the rain-slicked streets and the lights reflecting off them.
Although I am not fond of a deluge, rain is always a pleasant experience for lots of reasons. Light and dark in this photo also enhances the images.
It certainly does result in a pleasing image.
Really nice reflections!
And everything smells so much fresher - like the city has been through a rinse cycle.
Paulita, I agree!
Linda, thank you!
Debs, what a beautiful way to see it.
William, your comments are so welcome.
Kate,
I agree. A deluge sends us all inside!
The rain provided you with a wonderful opportunity to capture the shimmer of the night V. I like photographing just after the rain but am always a trifle concerned I will get water inside my camera.
This post is superb; I really don’t know how to praise of your working. But this post compelled me to do it. Merthyr Tydfil accommodation
