Yes, snow again...


Yes it snowed again over Paris today. And yes, it's a blessing for photographers! I'm sure you will love this photo, as much as I do. Only, I have to be honest and give credit to Stuart, the friend of mine who lives by the Eiffel Tower and actually took this photo. Enjoy! Maybe I should have more guests from time to time ;-)

  3. Beautiful! It's been snowing here in England as well and, even though it can make life ( and transport! ) difficult, it does make for great photos :-)

  6. Call me crazy, but I think I am about to leave the Australian sunshine and come to Paris to experience this beautiful Parisian winter wonderland. The thought of fois gras, truffle, red wine was tempting enough .... but this amazing photo nailed it for me! Thanks for your terrific blog and for sharing. Bonne Noel!

  13. Eric - just looking at yesterday's photo again - is that you reflected in the wine glass?!

    PHX - I agree about Thib's treat - it sounds so intriguing!

  16. Simply awesome Eric and Stuart. Me thinks we'll have to get copywrite permission for the calendar and Christmas cards though!

  17. It is an honor and a privilege to share the stage for one moment with the master. I admit to being spoiled by living so close to the TE that I can dash over and catch her whenever conditions are right. I can’t tell you how many pics I must have. Anyway, my hat is off to Eric (and that’s saying something in Paris right now as it’s snowing yet again!) for his commitment and stamina in posting a thoughtful, well composed, and well researched photo EVERY day.

  19. Well done Stuart, that is a prize winning photograph! There's a saddness to it ............ like 'La tour eiffel' is fading or eclipsed by the younger trees of the foreground! Great photograph, your buddy should be proud of it!

  28. Oh my! What a photo, and we are so lucky that Stuart captured this moment... I was fortunate to have snow on my recent trip which is much nicer than the rainy days in December.

    Snow in Paris is just icing on the gateau!

    Great job, Eric and Stuart!
