Paris!

Un petit repas

un petit repas

I used to travel with an assortment of cutlery (plastic) 

and small plates, but you can buy just what you need 

at Bon Marche or at a Monoprix.

We often feel that just a little taste of pain et fromage 

will get you through the early evening and give you the energy 

to stay out late enough to see the sun go down at 11pm.  

In the summer months the Paris sky stays a translucent blue 

until the wee hours of the morning.

Rue Raynouard - Passy

Just above the wall-lined street you can see

this wonderful collection of windows, roofs, balconies,

and chimneys all washed in the glow of a winter afternoon's sunliight.

The architecture and textures

have interesting details.

City Daily Photo Theme Day - "Landmark"

City Daily Photo Theme Day

"Landmark"

Although Paris has many "landmarks" and it was difficult to choose just one, 

this photo has my favorite plus a bonus:  

la Tour Eiffel and Grand Palais.  

With the setting sun of autumn the structures of both are seen in silhouette, 

the Eiffel Tower with its familiar pattern of steel, 

and the Grand Palais with its glass vault.

Would you believe that there are 6,000 tonnes of steel 

in the Nave of the Grand Palais 

which is more than in the whole Eiffel Tower?

Jardin des Tuilleries -- Sunset

From the plateau of the west end of Jardin des Tuileries, the fading light displays in silhouette some memorable landmarks of Paris.
