The view of the church from our living room window in our apartment. I never, ever tire of the view or the chiming of the bells.

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.

Bon dimanche.
looove your pics!!! angie
A heavenly view and the bells must have been magical, non, V de B!?!
Love the wavy window with the church behind it.
C'est dans ce quartier de St Roch, qu' Edgar Poe situa une de ses nouvelles : "Double assassinat dans la Rue Morgue", "l'un de ces misérables passages qui relient la Rue de Richelieu à la Rue Saint Roch". A cette époque (1841) l'avenue de l'Opéra n'existait pas encore puisqu'elle ne fut percée par Haussman qu'en 1877.
Nice reflection!!! Or is it the view refracted by wavy glass???
Of course you don't tire of it! Who would? lol Beautiful photograph.
Clever and effective composition. It's got a watery look. Makes me thing of a Debussy piece, The Engulfed Cathedral.
Your new banner photo is fabulous. That water reflection of the lights is magical.
Wonderful view through that old glass! And I'm with you on the bells—even if they woke me at dawn.
I love this, and the rippled glass.
Great to be arm chair travelling with you through Paris V.
Beautiful view!
You are so talented, this picture is wonderful!

Very creative shot Virginia!
I like how you took advantage of the window and its cool distortion. ;-)
very nice compo :)
Adorable picture, thank you for sharing many times. I mostly adore photos taken through a mosaic, ornamental, colorful windows like this photo taken in Toronto , but yours has bigger quality, because it's really original. I love the distortion, you're really talented.
