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.

Palais royale under the snow is one of my favourite pictures of Paris in the winter... Wish I were here...hmmm... :)
Very good shot
Have a nice day
Mauro
Some people are just crazy! But, we photographers out in the snow shooting these things... well, THAT is a different story! ;)
Yes, I think that Palais Royal is covered today from yesterday's deluge... Hope Holly wore her camera out capturing it all!
Love this shot, V.
Bises,
G
Je suis éblouie—what a wonderful shot this is, Virginia!
Very nice photo, Virginia! I would like to see Paris snow personally ... some day!
Oh that snow, it's just like a snowglobe!
So glad you fished that photo out of your bag of goodies - perfectly suited to today's weather in Paris!
nice capture and well on time as we had our biggest snow storm yesterday since 23 years !
Very cool shot!
Nice pic, i have been out snapping too. So cold but so beautiful. Carla
So tell me, if you're so fond of snow, why do you live in the South?
@Starman She's fond of snow *because* she's from the South!
You'd love it here right now.

Starman, la Mom is right. I like to photograph it but I don't want to spend a winter with it. I survived a winter in Iowa and in Wisconsin, years ago. Got my fill. Now show is Paris is another thing as you well know.

Nice shot! The light and composition is great.
Oh thank you all for your wonderful comments. Perhaps I'll happen upon a Paris snowfall again. If not....this one made me very very happy. Photographers learn to accept the special moments in our lives. This is one that I will cherish.
This is very special, V. And cooling ~ it's been hot here today, so I can feel this scene lowering my temperature nicely.
LOVE this shot .. love. it.
Hello, loved the photo. Is paris too cold this week for visit by people from Texas ( not used to the cold ) ??
