Champs Elysées at dawn...


OK, it was not exactly dawn, but 9 o'clock... But at this time of year (we're about to change time this weekend) it's almost like dawn! The light was really beautiful and since it was Sunday morning Les Champs Elysées were almost empty.

  4. Belle photo. I agree, the Champs-Elysees look "almost" empty-- definitely a Sunday morning! ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

  5. Beautifully captured—add my kudos to the rest! And welcome to the season of more dark than light (hey—there has to be a downside to light until almost midnight in July and August, n'est-ce pas?).

  6. Would you call that a tequila sunrise?

    That sky looks a bit like the bowl of a margarita glass. Drinking in that heady view has me more than a little tipsy.

  7. Lovely shot...almost has a vintage feel and it creates an atmosphere that could easily be mistaken for the late fifties or early sixties in Paris. *Sigh*....

  10. That is beautiful! (Although reading the comments does put in the mood for a cinnamon latte this morning, lol) What a glow. Can you imagine what a picture of a woman, no matter what age, would look like in this light? Soft, glowing light like this would be a grand thing.

  12. Reminds me of an Atget photo.

  13. Atget did not shoot in color and of course, there weren't so many cars back then ;)

    Still, it is kind of a timeless shot because you can't really see the make of the cars, just the overall shape.

    Well done!
