And by the looks of it, not too many love locks either. Hum, I wonder whether the millions of keys that have been tossed into the Seine has caused the River to rise?
Love the way this guy is running out of the frame, V. I saw someone running in my neighborhood the other day (it was barely above freezing)—dressed just like this! Apparently, Parisians have more sense.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

During which trip did you take this one? Not a single padlock! :-)

This one is not running for sure.

Peter,
June 2010 but right before this shot I have several of locks there, but not as many as are there now!!!

Why would anyone be surprised to see a runner in shorts in June?
Great photo and blog!

I like running. I could sit and watch people running for hours.
I think it was colder in Paris than here, but who would be in a hurry to run through that city? Too much to pause and enjoy.
Il courait si vite que le temps que tu appuie sur le déclencheur, il était déjà passé.
