La lanterne

L'heure bleue

Le Visage

Somewhere in the Marais!

Place des Vosges

One of the arched entryways into Place des Vosges. I loved the texture and colors. Reminded me of some restoration projects here in Birmingham that I have photographed.

C'est Paris

I never tire of looking up and seeing this.

Look Up!

Paris lanterns, dripping vines. Paris in November.

L'Opéra Garnier

Although I've never been inside, I will never tire of photographing the exterior of the Opera Garnier. 

L'ombre

Always look up!

Place des Vosges

The view from my sidewalk seat at Ma Bourgogne on a late June afternoon. 

La Bastille

Taken as I came up from the Metro!

Paris Rouge - Le mur

Paris lanterns, red walls.... j'adore. 

Courbé

I love a Paris lantern, even when it's a bit courbé!

Another Reason I Love Paris

This was the day I spent all alone, wandering up one street, across a bridge, down another. At last, late in the afternoon, I was on my way to meet friends for wine and later dinner. I underestimated the route to the café by a long shot. At first I was put out, but decided it was yet another Paris moment when I could wander this street in the Marais to my destination. As I poked along, I looked up, which is a wonderful thing to do in Paris. What's up is often the best choice. As I approached this group of flats covered in vines ( be still my heart), I spotted this window lit from within. I forgot all about my long walk and knew I'd found another treasure.

Les lanternes

 

When Mary and Peter and I get together in Paris, there is just no telling what we will find.  Last November, we wandered around and found this little alley. Peter went ahead to scout out an exit, then we followed.  A great find!

Lanternes et feuilles

Coming up from the Cité Métro, a welcome sight in November.  I'm looking forward to it once again!

I am pleased to announce the opening of my Etsy Store, Paris Through My Lens, offering a collection of my Paris photographs for sale. 

La formule

Aged walls + elegant ironwork + lantern = Paris !

Lierre et lanternes

Even in January, Paris is dressed fit to kill!

Paris Rouge LXI- L'homme rouge

 So Paris.  Le métro, la lumière de la rue, l'homme rouge, et l'Opera Garnier!
