Aujourd'hui Françoise Hardy has just the perfect chanson pour vous!

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.

Ominous looking clouds above the Seine. Think I would be keeping an eager eye out for a cosy cafe complete with croissant.
Oh and a cozy spot for some wine and cheese! The perfect day for this.

Pour apprécier le beau ciel bleu... il faut aussi des cieux comme celui-ci de temps en temps... Très belle photo ceci dit!...
Gros bisous.
No other has that magic atmosphere and feeling...

What a marvellous shot, V! I love how the sky is so heavy and menacing, yet the light is still so strong. Very atmospheric.
I really love the upper half of this photograph--- those two sets of horizontals, the clouds and the city, wonderful!!!!
Reminds me of coasting down the Seine on a Bateau Mouche!
If that's the way you like Paris, you'd not like it now. Except for a few minutes last week, it has been sunny and warm, with temps in the low to mid 20°C.
I like this image in B&W !
Such a dramatic sky works perfectly with the monochrome
I'll take Paris any way the weather Virginia! Great black and white.
Love the storm clouds!! You capture it all! Amazing!!
A classic (and classy) b/w shot of the Seine. It has an ageless quality.
That is an absolutely gorgeous photo!
Thanks for the link to the FH chanson. The images that go with aren't bad either—but yours is better, bien sur!
Another great photo! Love it in b&w.
Absolutely beautiful!
Stephan, I tried to leave a comment for you. We have thefabulous Barber Motorsports Museum here. You would love the vintage cars. I'd happily shoot some for you.

The brooding sky adds drama. With inclement weather, I suppose you were forced to retreat into a pleasant bistro.
I love those clouds!
