Quai de Bourbon - l'automne



Quai de Bourbon


Looking towards Pont Louis-Philippe from Pont Marie, 
the quai and the riverside walk are almost deserted.  
Golden leaves will soon be swept from frail branches into the Seine.  
Within a month, this will be a monochrome palette, 
save the red doors and a few window boxes.


Paris will take on her winter beauty



Quai de Bourbon

  1. Looks like it could easily be the scene for a movie.

  2. I can really see the autumn to winter transition going on before my eyes here in Aveyron too. Lovely photo.

  3. Quite a lovely view. My eyes get drawn to that staircase.

  4. Is the white bench waiting for an old man, for a tired lady and her dog, for a sunbeam, for a grandma and her small grandson playing to find fish , for a ship, for a painter, for a full moon, for the first snowflake, the last autumn leaf floating on the Seine, for a couple of lovers?
    If it'd be waiting for me, which one history I'd tell her?
    Meanwhile, loving her from here...

    Blessings and thanks Genie for this my window. d(:-D)

  5. But, like most of Paris, it will be achingly beautiful in every one of those seasonal changes.
