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.

What a dramatic shot Virginia, those clouds do actually look like they are rolling in!
It's interesting you posted this today. The clouds did gather last night and it ws actually lovely having a storm in Paris.
We were a little worried about Eiffel being a conductor.
Thank you for your views

The silhouette is glorious, Virginia.
Une apparence devenue encore plus haute et forte... belle photo.
Gros bisous.
Hi V., Beautiful... and everyone here in northern France is hoping that more storm clouds will be gathering, we've had no rain to speak of for months now, everything is parched. It rained last night for the first time in weeks and weeks. Hoping it will rain again soon, we need it !
Oh la la, how dramatic is this? Love it, V!
Superbe photo, très intéressante!
Lots of clouds but very little rain according to my friends in the Loire Valley.
A well composed silhouetted shot!
I forgot to add that with all the wind blowing and black clouds, it never rained that night. Peter and I had a great night shoot at the Louvre shortly after this shot! Amazing.

This photo/night sky is full of drama....
Such an effective photo, and a most interesting interpretation of a familiar landmark, love it!
Lovely...

That's so dramatic and beautiful.
We got at last some similar clouds, some thunder and - especially - some rain... this weekend!
Do you remember the story about those horses? :-)
This is an interesting one, Virginia. Faced with the loss of light, I probably would have put my camera away. Your silhouette is terrific and shows me I should keep clicking.
