It's a classic, but it's always nice to see. I also took this photo from the rue Boissy d'Anglas, like the one 2 days ago. It's Le Dôme des Invalides, that I showed several times here, but not from this angle. You don't see much of that kind of architecture in New York, where I just arrived a couple of hours ago ;) But I love skyscrapers too! If you want to join the NYC PDP party on Tuesday 28, around 5:30/6:00 pm. Stay tuned..

Classics are always good. Most defintitely good for the kind of day I'm having. a wirlwind weekend deserves a calm photo to end on.
ReplyDeleteI do want to join! :( can't though. lol! Enjoy yourself Eric. This is a great shot. Hey Soosha, GF!
ReplyDeleteNice, gentle hazy light. Like she said, calm.
ReplyDeleteWow, I finally managed to get GF since it's introduction. I'm drunk off of the power!!! Ok, not really. I do feel rather pretty with all the wonderful additions everyone has made, though. Oh look, a macaroon! *has a little snack*
ReplyDeleteNow that is a dome to be proud of! Hope you're enjoying the Big Apple, Eric! Of course, if I were to suggest a place to go later in the evening it would be the Village Vanguard for some jazzeriffic times. I'm sure Alexa will steer you in the right direction. Enjoy yourself all.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on GF Soosh!
Some early autumn gold like only Paris and PDP can do.
ReplyDeleteIs it just coincidence that the U.S. Embassy is so close in proximity to where this photo was taken and the trip to the U.S. was so close temporally?
Not to mention the Buddha Bar.
History can be so ironic. France, nation once of kings and emperors, got rid of an emperor (now en-crypted indecipherably under that dome) and the so-called bastion of democracy, the U.S., acquired a dynasty of imperial aspirations of its own.
I like NY skycrapers (the only ones I like) and I love NY, it's a fantastic place to be.
ReplyDeleteBut the domes of Paris are really something, very hard to compare to anything else. They are always a sight for sore eyes. Well, isn't the intire city of Paris a sight for sore eyes??!!!!
Soosha, since it's your first:
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS FOR THE GF!!!!!!!
IMO, the Dôme des Invalides is one of the few treasures of the Parisian cityscape that looks better from a short distance than up close. Also, on brisk autumnal days, when the sky is a lowering ceiling of ominous, blue-gray clouds, a shaft of fleeting sunlight can make it seem like the upper half of a gilded Fabergé egg.
ReplyDeleteI like this one of les Invalides because you can see that the dome is not always sparkling in the sun like all the photos one sees. This is how it looks from day to day, although still beautiful. Taken through the arches entering the Louvre Eric?
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures every day.
ReplyDeleteThis one's great again!
Love how you can see Invalides in between the building.
Never seen it this way.
About Passage Royal (or Village Royal), posted 2 days ago, just for information, the original name was Cité Berryer. It was radically renewed a few years ago, and re-named Village Royal for marketing efficiency.
ReplyDeleteTant pis pour l'authenticité !
I can certainly see why our city hall dome is modeled after les Invalides. Louis XIV would be so proud. Very nice shot through the window to give it more depth.
ReplyDeleteC'est Bon
Michael: You know, you're absolutely right! It's a beautiful thing at any time of day, on any day of the week, and in any season.
ReplyDeleteApropos yesterday's comments:
ReplyDeleteLynn: As you know, when it comes to writing, experience is valuable, but instinct is priceless.
Mme Benaut: Needless to say, when it comes to writing, skills are useful, but readers are indispensable.
Gorgeous photos over the last few days Eric, comme toujours! I really don't know what I'd do without your photos every day.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful time in these here United States - I'll be interested to hear what you think of all the crazy election buzz. It's one for the history books, that's for sure.
A dreamy photo. I loved enlarging it and seeing little Parisian details in the darkened foreground.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo of the dome, Eric. Hey, I can tell you that in person tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWe can discuss the relative merits of the dome in sunlight and in shadow, and whether it's more beautiful than a NYC skyscraper (no contest—imho this wins hands down).
Stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteBoy, I wish the PDP meetup were in Nashville ... or that I were in NYC ... or that we all were in Paris!
parisian heart - I vote for "all in Paris"
ReplyDeleteAlways one of my favorite places to stroll by, or sit in the garden- or to sit in the garden at Rodin and look at the dome from there. One of the true jewels of the city I love
ReplyDeleteSuzy, that would be my preference, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty dome! I just can't imagine architecture that has been around for a few centuries. It would, no will, be amazing to see.
