Another nice diverse collection of photos Virginia. I love them all. Did you haul a tripod around for the night shots or are you good at holding steady?
Love the photos, especially like the Opera house and the diagonal line of the building. The colors are wonderful, too. Did the woman know you were taking her photo? Your title captures the feeling of it. As a cat lover the chat noir is perfect.
"Wherever you go for the rest of your life Paris stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." Ernest Hemingway. I love this collection of photos. You got a black cat in Montmartre - that must be auspicious. Love the rooftops too, they're very special in Paris.
Jill, I am sometimes good at holding still. I have some night shots that I did with Peter and used a very small, wonky little tripod. The little silver trashcan on my Mac is full of blurry ones!
Karen, The black cat was a little disconcerting. Yes, she apparently knew. I took 4 of her and she never flinched. I accused Barbara of paying her to pose for me!
Grand, A moveable feast for sure but I think you enjoy the feast best right there, oui?
Therese, THAT was the view from our hotel room. We got a grand laugh over that one. We eventually decided that it had a lot of "character"!
Virginia your Paris blog continues to be an enchantment. Heavens know that I've seen views of Paris before but your photos are truly original and beautiful. What a joy!
Alice, Le Zinc?? They are le zinc! HA Yes I remember. BTW, what's the name of the restaurant where we had dinner? I am still chuckling about Peter's grand bowl of chocolate mousse. I now regret not sneaking more spoonfuls. How about you??
You can't go wrong with a black cat. The young lady I had to enlarge. She is wearing my winter attire. It is a tad out of place here, but then so am I. That image spoke to me(pretentious moi?)I know her so well.

holy haunting, Batman! wonder if that's the same chat noir that followed me from here to eternity in that cemetery - until I got to Alphonsine's grave, where she sat with me for a bit of contemplation, then took her leave. cue creepy music. Love all of these shots - so diverse.

Room with a view: it remembers me of the few years I spent in Paris...

ReplyDeleteThe chat noir proves that luck visits those who chance their arm. An opportunity well grasped, V.
ReplyDeleteThese roofs are made of zinc, do you remember how we laughed about this in French cafés (or restaurants, like le 5 mars)?
