Le fumeur



The smoker



Standing outside the restaurant on a night of drizzling rain,
the waiter took his short break with a cigarette

Église Saint-Roch



Église Saint-Roch


Rows of chairs and the long carpeted aisle 
give an indication of the size of this church on Rue Saint Honoré.


Saint-Roch is filled with art, stunning architecture, a storied past...
and three magnificent organs.


bon dimanche

Photo of the Year 2013 - Theme Day

 
 
 
 
Favorite photo of the year
 
 
This black and white is my favorite for the action, interest, and detail.  A breezy but sunny day on Rue Saint-Honoré was enjoyed by this woman sitting alone and enjoying her cafe.  The waiter is in watchful attendance while the lovers in the background enjoy a bottle of wine.
 
 
 
For me, this photo exemplifies life in Paris, la vie quotidienne.
 
 
 
I am joining the City Daily Photo blog
theme day: Best Photo of the Year.

Chantal Thomass - un parapluie




This fashion house led by the the stylish Chantal first made the lingerie scene during the 1960s and 1970s.  All the world was shunning the frilly lingerie and burning bras.


She flaunted the feminist movement, fabricating lingerie from menswear fabrics and at the other end of the spectrum sensuous fluffs of lace, silk, organza.  While visiting Paris, I regularly walk past this window on Rue Saint Honoré, always anticipating a visual treat.

La Coupe d'Or


La Coupe d'Or


Sitting on Rue Saint-Honoré 
at the corner of Rue du Marché Saint-Honoré 
would be a nice spot for people-watching.  


The reviews indicate that this may not be the best place for a meal, 
but a quick café and a moment to rest one's feet 
might be reason enough to stop.

Place André Malraux - la fontaine de jouvence?


The fountain of youth?


There are at least three cherubs in this fountain of changing colors, but alas...
I do not believe that the water will make you young.


Surely there is a reason that the French women are so beautiful and youthful.



bon weekend

Le Parisien - la vie quotidienne



The Parisian
la vie quotidienne


The moment is frozen in my memory.

A quick glimpse across the rooftops on Rue Saint-Honoré,
Monsieur on the telephone, cigarette in hand,
framed in a window, 
 the architecture of centuries past,
oblivious of my delight in capturing this scene.


What stories we could write

Henri Sabatier - architecte


280 Rue Saint-Honoré


I walk past this building many times daily when I am in Paris.
What caused me to look up and see the sweet face of a cherub this time?


There was not a date on the building that I could see, and on the other end of this transom was another cherub with his back turned to the street and the notation of the engineering company, "Canal et Schuhl"

Le lémur et les bijoux



The lemur and the jewels...

Windows like this in Paris leave me speechless, almost...

When I reviewed the photos, I thought it was an image of a monkey or a baboon, but the reflection plays tricks on the eyes.  I was originally captivated by the cloisonné, but now wonder why these jewels are being touted by an animal
