This is not an extraordinary photo, but I'm sure it'll please a lot of you... Why? Because it really is a very Parisian scene, with the typical street lamps in the background, the street plaque on the right, and of course the bouquinistes boxes on the left. I took this photo pretty early in the morning, that is why there is little traffic and an almost colorless light.
Almost colorless light, then the green shirt. Enchanting!!
ReplyDeleteAaah, very nice. Quai Malaquais, n'est-ce pas?
ReplyDeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteThe green shirt is a pop of color. Eric, since you say it was taken in early morning and with the shadows, you can almost feel that the sun would be coming out for another beautiful day in Paris.
ReplyDeleteI think this picture is calendar worthy!
I love it. It makes me want to be there.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. You caught a very fine moment.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo -- captures the "early morning mood" and love the snap of bright green.
ReplyDeleteI am returned to Paris. I feel the chill in the air, the offsetting sunshine. After a brisk stroll, a seat in the sun, a cafe au lait and Le Monde.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the journey.
My family and I were walking on the above location on Bastille Day 2011 en route to the Tour Eiffel to watch the fireworks. It was very very crowded but what a beautiful night. Thanks for the picture Eric.
ReplyDeleteTraining for ther Paris Marathon (April 15th), Eric?
ReplyDeleteI love this morning-shot because of all the things you allready mentioned, Eric.
ReplyDelete@Jeff. Yes, it's Quai Malaquais. Well done!
ReplyDeleteAmbience, mood --- luv it!
ReplyDeleteI say if you absolutely must go jogging, it may as well be in Paris—where the light is sublime and Eric is there to take your picture!
ReplyDeleteEven I might be tempted to jog in Paris - You always make me want to be there Eric x
ReplyDeleteNot every image we capture has to be extraordinary. It records a moment in time of the location and sometimes it has a story to tell. It made me search on Google Maps where Place Justin Godart is and I still cannot find it! I also learnt that those were "bouquinistes boxes." Eric, you can take it one step further when you have the time, is to geotag your images and let us know their gps coordinates.
ReplyDeleteI would take up jogging (ugh) if I could live in Paris*
ReplyDeleteYes! Yes! Yes!! Just the picture of Paris in Spring!! Love it!! Thank-you, C-Marie
ReplyDeleteCette photo donne envie de oartir en vacances à Paris. :)
