Since I started this blog, I learned to walk through the streets of Paris with a "photographic eye", looking at anything thinking "would this make a good photo?". That's what happened this morning, on my way to the Opera where I had an early meeting ; I passed by this column and thought to myself: "I have to stop and take a photo". So I did... And I kinda like it, so it makes me feel good ;-)
it's one of those photos that look like the statue is really flying in the sky.
ReplyDeleteand to continue, it reminds me of the Jeasus in Rio that looks like it is flying in the sky when the clouds cover sugarloaf mountain
ReplyDeleteI hate my rules!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete"I hate my rules!!!!!!!!!" Join the club, Phx! LOOOOOL.
ReplyDeleteSuch an otherwordly photo. Amazing.
I love the subtleties. The tiny little blazing sun, the soft gold highlights. Aren't we lucky to benefit from Eric's not so newfound eye?
ReplyDeleteThis one really speaks to me. Well, the scene spoke first to you, and lucky us.
ReplyDeleteWhat Tall Gary called "the tiny little blazing sun" I was going to mention as the shining diamond. It's a beautiful capture.
Stunning Eric, against that gorgeous blue sky. Gosh, it must be rough to have to go to a meeting at the Opera.
ReplyDeleteEagle eye.
ReplyDeleteSigning off, and then to LA tomorrow. Probably won't be on a computer for five days, but I doubt my absence here will ruin anyone's lives! Have fun everyone. Maybe somebody will send some LA PDPeople photos after Sunday...you never know...
Great shot!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how that happens, isn't it? How photographing things makes you start paying attention to details.
It certainly should make you feel good, Eric. You have an eye, for sure! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo, phx -- are you GF, or is it Tall Gary?
Gorgeous, Eric!! I love your eagle eye.
ReplyDeleteI'll miss you, Jeff!
Somebody send PHX-CDG the rule book!
Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteME ME ME, Alexa, as noone interupted my second rambling . I have also given GF to people in the past for this same "problem".
ReplyDeleteWings for my crown.
You need to look at your email, Alexa....
I love your Paris photos! and especially this one. I read every day. Thanks, Eric
ReplyDeleteHeld a Jewel
ReplyDeleteI held a jewel in my fingers
And went to sleep
The day was warm, and winds were prosy
I said, "Twill keep"
I woke - and chide my honest fingers,
The Gem was gone
And now, an Amethyst remembrance
Is all I own

Very beautiful. I love the way that photo blogging changes the way that you look at your city. I know it has for me, even though the wonders of Petoskey could never rival the splendors of Paris, I am finding new things about my town every day.
ReplyDeleteAngels, winging their way above Paris. That's the thing about Paris - they're everywhere. What a city. Thank you, Eric.
ReplyDeleteEric - have you ever taken a bad photo? these angels look so majestic as if they were coming down from the heavens.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are not just looking at sights to see if they would make a good photo. I bet you are walking across the street, or down the block, to find the right angle, such as your position for the outstretched reach of the statue and rising sun in today's photo.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning Eric. One of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel good too, Eric! Beautiful silhouette.
ReplyDeleteNice blog and I have to agree with you when you say you have a aphotographic eye since you started the blog. The same thing is happening to me.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful; you seemed to catch the light just right. That is something I never seem to get right in my photos.
ReplyDeleteEric,
ReplyDeleteWhat camera do you have, such that you can carry it along with you anywhere?
Thumbs up, indeed, Eric! Such a beautiful, intriguing shot of my favorite building!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo.It looks like a paper clipping silhouette. I too really like the way every day is different on PDP.
ReplyDeleteThe more I look at this photo, the more beautiful it gets. The background is stunning as well.
ReplyDeleteALL your phot's make ME feel good Eric!!
ReplyDeleteUne photo très aérienne et majestueuse !!
ReplyDeleteSuperbe
Ooooh, it's make me feel good too... this one is frankly amazing.
ReplyDeletePHX, LOOOL

ReplyDeleteIt's a new day,
It's a new life for me yeah,
And I'm feeling GOOD...
Da dum, da dum, da dum!
All together now.
It makes a beautiful silhouette.
ReplyDeleteAh! At last I get here without going through someone else's blog!
ReplyDeleteSo you should feel good Eric, this is stunning! Really superb.
pHx LOL! Well done on your two lines. Wear your winged crown with pride. Anything else on it?
Oooh I've just caught up on the comments of yesterday. Oooh, oooh Eric, no you must tell me NOW! Please? x Look I've even left a kiss for you. lol
ReplyDelete...and ooh Drummond, my favourite song ever. I'm always singing it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shadow effect. The use of the shielded sun is a good technique.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in the singing

ReplyDeleteYou've put a big smile on my face !
Belle photo.
Sublime, Eric.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant catch, this one. And yes, we do develop a photographic eye when walking around our respective cities, don't we?
I loved all your snow shots, including the graffiti one. And I think there's more snow forecast for tomorrow? I hope you're not sick of it....
ReplyDeleteAnd we can only thank you that you stoped.
ReplyDeletePerfect!
Thank you Laura Paris, and one day it might be YOU!
ReplyDeleteWhat else is on my crown besides wings, UKLynn? At this point, a little Paris oiseau poop.
"What camera do you have, such that you can carry it along with you anywhere? "
ReplyDeleteA big a heavy one, let me tell you Aathira! But, I still carry it with me around.
Flore I'm sure that can be arranged. If Drummond can work out the techie side, I'm up for it. lol.
ReplyDeleteoiseau poop. He he... Phx
Oh I want a big camera toooooo! :( Mine's had it, I think...:(
ReplyDeleteOh...this is a thing of beauty. Love it man.
