      I know it is a tough one especially when one is more inclined to nature and animals than to urban aspects of life, but you will come up with something great – you always do 🙂

        Awww…I don’t know. You know I don’t like urban goodies and yes, I am more inclined to nature and animals…hehehe. I don’t think I will..guess I am too lazy to think. LOL!

Such an impressive picture! I like the colour, the light and then that typical urban design – quite geometrical (I suppose that goes back to Haussmann).
Thank you for sharing and have a happy day

  The title is il est 5 heures, paris s’eveille – which translates as it is 5 am and paris wakes up, then it goes on mentioning what each big monument is doing at that time of day 😉

Now this is more like it. After finally reviewing and commenting on your “Life’s a bitch” post, this is much more pleasing to look at. Love the processing and the composition is perfect. Everything draws your eye right to the Tower.

Excellent work – from Tour Maine-Montparnasse I guess – It’s said from time to time that the view from this top is the most beautiful in Paris, because it’s the only place from which the tower itself can’t be seen… 😉

Ah Paris in every form 🙂 Gorgeous shot Paula. Just curious to know if your shots from Ciels are through a window or is there an observation deck at the restaurant/champagne bar?
