Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Sous le ciel de Paris for CBBH challenge – Same subject, different time
Those who follow me might know by now that I don’t take part in bloggers awards, but if I did, the following two would be my first nominees. Please visit Madhu of theurgetowander and Johanna of restlessjo.wordpress.com. You will be pleasantly surprised to see what they have to offer :).
Madhu’s and Johanna’s blogs are my recommendations for June’s featured blogs, and I know that most of you will love them as much as I do.
This is my entry for Marianne’s CBBH challenge. Have a peek and see what others have come up with.

I sat on the level of the first observation deck on the Eiffel Tower and I watched the sun set over Paris and stayed until the lights where in their full glory, it was one of those moments that will always be remembered, will always be special and treasured…Your photos are magnificent.

You are so very welcome. You have certainly made my life a bit more difficult. In the unlikely event that I’m ever in Paris wishing to photograph the Eiffel Tower, I’ll have a very high standard to live up to. You have set the bar quite high.

😆 you flatterer :). Well, if you are ever in Paris, you will probably shoot it at sunrise with nobody around at perfect light, while I’ll be still hugging my pillow and listening to Parisian pigeons at my window :D, so you see … the bar will be easily passed 😀

Perfect! What a wonderful time you must have had in Paris, Paula. I think I took this very same photograph myself when we were visiting Paris in March, last year – but that was during the daytime in lovely sunshine.
Thanks for sharing links to two great bloggers – Madhu and Jo’s blogs are two of my favourites 🙂
