Paris - farewell

November 14, 2007 11:02 AM | Related Categories: Architecture,travel

It was goodbye to Paris on Monday, so here is a parting shot of the city whose magic I'd forgotten. No other great city that I have visited has the combination of grandeur, serenity, excitement, panache and cultural engagement. No excuses for the tourist view

Leica M8 35mm Summicron

Nice shot. You don't need an excuse for quality tourist views!
Sometimes, if you deny yourself the right to do tourist view, you can come back from a destination with only "arty" view and you miss some general view and usual images for your memory...
When are you back in Zürich? I heard it's snowing over there... :-)

A Tourist View worth putting on the wall. You're clearly enjoying that 35mm lens on the Leica. Fine tribute to Paris. I certainly liked this post.

Et voilà Richard il faudra que tu reviennes. Ne serait ce que pour refaire exactement la même photo mais depuis la terrasse de l'institut du monde arabe. Tu étais pas très loin. L'institut est superbe. Depuis la terrasse tu vois tout Paris et tu peux photographier la Cathédrale et la Seine sous cet angle mais également le pont et en même temps le reflet des immeubles d'en face dans la façade de verre de l'institut...

The cloud formation is a very appropriate backdrop for this great scene.
