  3. Love the way the overcast day produces just a light dusting of color as well. Lovely photo.

  4. I wonder how often they prune the bridge Genie, you can see why romantics choose this spot to demonstrate their affection, it's just so Paris oui!

  8. Have to wonder what it looked like before they pruned!
    Starman -- pretty sure it started in Italy with the publication of a teen romance novel in which the young lovers did this (on one of the bridges in Rome, I think).

  9. Pierre, moi aussi.

    As much as I enjoy any view from this Paris bridge, but would love to see the sunset taken from the other end of this bridge, the one of my never-changing header.

    May you have clear skies this weekend.

    Bises,
    Genie

  10. Now, you can't see the Seine for the mass of locks. I supported them for a time, but after this last trip, sadly I think they have become too much.

  11. I'm pretty sure this is the one where my lock is; not sure, because there are a couple. Doesn't matter. It reminds me of something lovely. I'm sad when they have to remove them, but I understand.
