Notre Dame de Paris is so often photographed from every imanginable angle, it's always a challenge to find a secret spot. Last November, on a gray afternoon as I walked along the Seine, I spotted this lovely window. The autumn leaves around the church, were the perfect addition.

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.

The light does draw your eye to that spot.
Very, very fine, Virginia! What a find!
This is an incredible gem, V. Lucky to find all the elements -- the leaves, the light, the special spot. Splendid!
Love the color in this photo. It looks almost as if an artist has painted the leaves and window light to give this harmonious effect!
Everything is perfect in that shot.
Oh great picture story V. It does make you wonder who is on the other side of the window. Cheers J.
The archbishop's house (I believe) looked pretty cozy on a chilly afternoon! Love the way the light matches the orange of the leaves.
Gorgeous photo.
An ideal choice for a shot!
