Le lustre



Walking back to the apartment after a night shoot,
this chandelier caught my eye.


The fine furnishings, architectural features and golden glow
give a glimpse only seen at night.



75001, Paris

Normally, I am not a fan of the little lampshades; however, these really complete the look. I love the warm lighting ... it gives the entire photo a golden luster :)

Beautiful chandelier! I also love the amber colored glow emitting from the window. I think it adds to the feeling of a home that is warm and comfortable.

I would be happy to hang out there!

Love the warm glow.

Alexa said...

Lovely ambience—and nice curlicues too! I'm not envious of their chandelier though—if I had it I'd always be up on a ladder straightening the shades. :~}

You are a fantastic photographer ...and a peeping Tom? :)

This is a lovely shot!

Vreni and Jack, so glad to know the owners. We'll all be coming for un apéro shortly!

Lisa, I almost put the "I am a Peeping Tom" on the post itself - hah! I do love to see pretty homes at night with the lights on, not to see the people, just the lovely glow of the well-furnished home.

Meresi, thank you for the Independence Day wishes!

Yes, the shade straightening would bother me too, Alexa.

Have a wonderful week, a holiday week if you are in the USA.

I am watching Le Tour* daily and keeping up with some favorites, the leaders and the beautiful countryside. We can watch it live or later in the day as it runs continuously!

Bises,
Genie

(*Le Tour, not La Tour)

That chandelier is extremely beautiful. I can't see how it couldn't catch your eye.
