Les Lanternes Roses


I tossed around Paris Rouge but knew I'd be called out on that!

    I would have called you out—this pink is too lovely to be anything but what it is!

    It is a very nice photo, Virginia. I don't recall seeing lamps like these before.

    A very photogenic building. Would love to visit it. I'm no expert but 'pink' just seems too understated. How about 'cerise'?

    Beautiful color. I see they are located somewhere along Rue de Rivoli. I miss so much in Paris because I'm usually too tired to go wandering around at night. Really appreciate your photos.

    Vreni,
    I would say closer to the Concorde end of RIvoli, across from Tuileries.

    What I need to know is just where Genie came up with 'hot pank'? Is there a recess in her brain that she is not letting on about?

    Oh and Julie,
    Down here in the south , HOT PANK, translates to Hot PInk, but you must know by now that "we talk funny"! :)

    Well, yes, just so ... although Genie's accent is subdued ... but 'hot pank' has a wonderful sense of humour to it ... so the south has that too ...

    Julie, yes, PANK is definitely a color. My mother used it all the time. Sort of like yellow and yeller! :)

    The storms have passed thankfully, and we are safe. Pray for those in other areas in the SE that are devastated!
