I spent a lot of time at the Place des Vosges this last trip. My flat was just a few blocks away. I was able to stroll late in the day when the shadows were just perfect. Even the pigeon posed at just the right moment!
Oh Laurent, I would have loved that! I was on St. Paul that very afternoon. Did you hear the drummers on the steps of the church? Deafening but fun to watch!
What wonderful textures, Virginia. As I remember, the temperature was just perfect! Laurent, I wish that I had been able to meet you while I was there as well -- next time!
I'm rather partial to arches...(ck out my most recent post on http://theworldinblackwhite.blogspot.com/2010/06/quiet-contemplation.html Delightful photo V!!!
Oui, I think that little girl was dancing pour moi. This might have been the afternoon I heard the singer close by. Maybe this petite jeune fille heard him as well! Definitely a French family hauling the groceries home. How divine that they lived close by to this wonderful place.
Nice! Or should I say, "Paris!"
ReplyDeleteYes, I sent that pigeon a message especially for you, V. I'm happy to see he behaved. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY SHADOWS captured perfectly by your creative EyE!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh. So many memories. A perfect shot.
ReplyDeleteObviously not a picture taken on the Fete de la Musique day when these arcardes were overcrowded. I was there thinking I could meet you "par hasard"

The little girl seems to be hearing music. She looks like she's dancing.
ReplyDeletePerfect, V! Love this place (or rather, Place). :~}
ReplyDeleteAm imagining that this is a nice French family and their pet pigeon heading home from the marché.
Beautiful pattern and b&w!
