La Neige - les colonnes de Buren

Here at home, we have had an unexpected snowfall with extremely cold temps.  It reminded me of the unexpected snowfall in Paris, January, 2010.  That was a  magical morning for me.  The Buren Columns had been enclosed for renovation for several years and magically that morning, the walls had come down and I saw them for the first time ......with snow.  Another Paris Moment I shall not forget.

Timing is everything, V. And you sure made the most of that moment—great shot!

That's quite an unforgettable photo too! I like Grace's comment above, it is rather like "Alice in Wonderland".

OK well at least you can say Birmingham has gotten more snow than Paris this year.

A fine image. I have never seen these things in person and I am content to leave it that way.

That sounds absolutely marvelous! I love the Palais Royal and the Buren columns. There is still so much scaffolding and construction around the square that a photo like this one is not possible right now. Wonderful that you have it to share!
