Trompe l'oeil ?

In Paris, it seems there are always buildings undergoing restorations. The French go to great links to make the construction process pleasing to the eye. Recently the Vendôme Column was covered in its likeness. Can you spot the real lantern? I searched the internet to determine if the column was actually having repairs done or whether it was covered due to the work being done on the Ritz Hotel. The Ritz was scheduled to open this month, since being closed in 2014, but a fire several months ago might have delayed that. I will look to my Parisian friends who are in the know for this tidbit of information.

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.

Now that is so smart. Nothing uglier than a scaffold but if you can foof it up a bit, what a treat! We should pay attention here (as we should on so many other things French!)
That is clever. The only example here I can think of is when they were replacing the glass panes in the National Gallery's glass tower. They draped the scaffolding with a canvas that made the whole thing look like an iceberg.
Definitely a smart move. Maybe less complaints by doing that :)
A very clever perspective V.
Oh, my contact lenses are bothering me....... something's wrong here...... LOL
Je t'embrasse V de B
Yes, I can—but you did an excellent job hiding it!
