Chiaroscuro


One of the many photos that I took from the Pont de la Concorde! I'm just never tired of this view, even if I've seen it a zillion times... And we're having such a nice weather in Paris at the moment... (It won't last, I'm sure!). It made me think of a Claire-obscure (Chiaroscuro).

  1. Do you really still have leafs on the trees or is it not so actual photo?

    1. In fact Photo Riga, I just flew back from Germany yesterday where most of the leaves are off, and was surprised myself that I still saw leaves here in Paris. That's good news in my book :-)

    2. We still have leaves on some trees, I don't know why exactly.

  6. C'est très beau.
    Ce que j'aime le plus, c'est la transparence à travers la structure de la Tour Eiffel.
    Ca me plait beaucoup dans cette photo.
    Chiaroscuro, encore une nouvelle définition dans mon répertoire...
    Chiaroscuro, clair obscur. En photo, c'est beau. Entre chien et loup, je sais que c'est aussi insaisissable et donc un peu agaçant comme lumière certaines fois. Dépend des moments.
    Merci pour tous ces instants de beauté et de liberté mentale.
    Tu parviens toujours à réinventer Paris.
    Ton Paris, chaque jour qui passe.

  7. Gorgeous view, but the way you managed to capture the crepuscular rays makes it even more spectacular!

  9. In this light, Madame ET looks so delicate, almost as if she is wearing a black lace negligee.......

  10. Hey, we both have a shot of the ET and the sun today—great minds, etc. Yours, I must say, is beyond beautiful!

  11. Thank you everyone, when I think I hesitated to post this photo for I thought it was too "classical"!
