A heartfelt thanks to all of you who have made lovely comments yesterday. I'm very touched. I thought of another quiet scene for today and a very Parisian one. I took it at a café terrace in the 9th arrondissement near my home, but I forgot the name of the place... Not very important, I just love this shot. Have a nice weekend everyone ;-)
That is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIs it a piece of heaven ?
ReplyDeleteNo, in fact, this is a piece of our world, through your soft lense and all has this special flavor. A signature. A true signature. A true happiness for the eyes and much more.
Simply beautiful, Eric. And yes, very quiet.
ReplyDeletePlease accept my sincere condolences. As an aunt myself, I know how important a nephew's love can be.
You have a nice weekend too Eric. We're getting some nice low sun in the afternoons these days, and I see you're making the most of it.
ReplyDeleteNice shadows, and the black and white treatment is classic :-)
Very art nouveau in its way.
ReplyDeleteI just love this shot, too, Eric. So many shapes to study...
ReplyDeleteThere are so many people also, but only one was your Aunt Francoise and you were a one-of-a-kind loving nephew to her.
We all love you Eric. This is a wonderful photo. Elegant and beautiful. I'm thinking maybe it would fit you sweet aunt.

Love the way you stayed with b&w today, and the graphic nature of your composition—the three round tables and the three chair-back shadows—tres artistique, Eric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, artistic, Parisian shot!
ReplyDeleteTrès parisienne, très chic!
ReplyDeleteOh, those shadows are so pretty. I'd happily have a couple of those chairs here at home on my verandah. Have a peaceful weekend, dear Eric.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted, Eric!
ReplyDeletewow, great pic!
ReplyDeletecheers,
the brain games
Beautiful! Did you happen to see the hearts in the lacy shadows? If you look closely, the chairs are filled with hearts. What a lovely tribute to your Aunt, Eric, but I imagine that was your intent all along. :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, you had sun! What I wouldn't give to be there now!
ReplyDeleteWho said "classic"? Sab, I think. I agree, it's a classic, as are you.
ReplyDeletepossibly Cafe le Baron? Chairs look familiar

I love this, too, Eric. Those crisp shadows are so beautiful. Black and White 2011 Calendar entry, for sure!

Wow, that is a powerful and beautiful photo. I often visit your page, and this is one of my favorites. I will probably have another next time I visit. You capture all the things I love about Paris. Wish I were there now.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteAmazing picture!! Really artistic and even poetic, if you allow me. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThe cafe chairs-- I'm always pleased when I take a shot that cannot be improved by zooming either in or out, when the camera is in just the right spot.
ReplyDeleteParis has an amazing places incredible like this on the picture
