Still there (just checking!)


I had a meeting in the North of Paris yesterday and on the way back I passed by... Le Moulin Rouge. I photographed it several times here, so I looked for a new angle! And where there is a will there is away... I waited for the traffic to stop (which is not that obvious at this location, believe me!) and made an extensive use of "my" perspective! I'm kinda proud of the result I must say! I think I even deserve a little song ;-)

  1. "I'm kinda proud of the result": absoultley properly. Great pic. It's not the next 'obvious' pic of Le Moulin Rouge.

  2. Beautiful picture! The best photographic rendition of the ”Moulin Rouge” I have ever seen.

  3. The bottom half looks so impressionistic. It contrasts so well with the top half.

  5. It looks like a post card. No trafic & nobody around Le Moulin Rouge? That's amazing.I like the song too. Good job, Eric.

  9. Le Tenin perspective: c'est parfait. And can anybody tell my why I should not fantasize about Nicole?

    Just got home from meeting with mon ami Craig. Drank wine and talked about Paris. Not a bad night.

  11. Jeff,
    1.Drinking wine.
    2.Fantasizing about Nicole.
    Do you think the two may be connected?

    Eric, can you take a good photo?
    You certainly can..can!

  12. @Drummond "You certainly can..can!" LOOOOL Why aren't you a writer for one of those TV shows?! (maybe you are mind you...)

  13. Funny you should say that Eric, a while ago a drunk bloke in a pub asked me if I was Larry David. I replied, "Buy me a drink and I'll tell you."
    Sadly, he wasn't THAT drunk.

  14. Eric,

    On my first trip to Paris I stayed on Rue Lepic - right around the corner from this photo. What great memories is brings back!

  16. @Magdalena "It's not the next 'obvious' pic of Le Moulin Rouge." Thanks that is exactly what I was trying to avoid!

    @P "No trafic & nobody around Le Moulin Rouge? That's amazing." Probably because it's a very quiet week in Paris.

    @Anne "was your perspective laying on the ground?" No, not really ;-) My camera was...

    @Jeff" Le Tenin perspective: c'est parfait. And can anybody tell my why I should not fantasize about Nicole?" No reason not too! I just saw she's about to be Grace Kelly in a movie to be released. She looks stunning in the photos I saw. To late to say hi to Craig.

    @Drummond "Larry David" I did not know him so I looked up on the web and yes there is a certain resemblance...

  17. Drummond: I don't need wine to fantasize about Nicole, and I don't need to fantasize about anyone to drink wine. Therefore: no correlation, just coincidence!

  18. Downright pretty! That blue hour light sets off the warm lights so well. Love the slick pavement. Thanks for the song, too.
