Along the Seine

We had quite a few days of rain here in Paris and I just didn’t go outside but one day, it stopped raining in the afternoon and the sun came out so I got out at sunset and walked along the Seine where there was lovely light.

The Seine, some Autumn leaves and the Eiffel Tower behind.
I love this shade of gold in Autumn.
I like the shape of this tunnel.
Modern sculpture of Joan of Arc and the Eiffel Tower-lots of people too.
Sunset from the Bir Haikim bridge.
And through a bridge.
Nice sky as the sun set behind me.

Paris Photos

I have been putting photos up on Instagram of Paris every day. I suppose anyone who follows me there thinks I am in Paris. It took me a long time to build up followers and my  »likes » go down when I post a photo from somewhere else so I continue my illusion. It makes me wonder how many posts of others are in real time or even original. I’m lpennin104 on Instagram by the way. Here are some photos I recently posted on Instagram although they are from months or years past.

A colorful wall painting at a community garden.
Isn’t this window fabulous?
A fascinating metro stop-line four, Arts et Mediers stop.
The tomb of Dalida, a popular pop singer in the 60’s. She commited suicide on May 3rd, 1987. She was actually Egyptian. She lived up in Montmartre and flowers were left there on the anniversary of her death.
I don’t even have to say that this is the Eiffel Tower as it is so recognizable.

Spring

Spring has fully arrived in Texas and Easter just arrived so there is a lot to see and photograph but most of these were taken in Paris.

Spring at the Eiffel Tower last year.
Seen in a shop window in Pais.

These are unusual rabbits.

It’s lots of fun looking at chocolate creations at Easter.
Love seeing tulips come up.
Seen on an île de Ré on the Atlantic coast of France.
Spring-like street art.

Paris Photos

Out on a day in the 70’s and with sunshine. It’s starting to look like Autumn but it didn’t feel like it.

The leaves are starting to change. On these trees, they mostly turn brown but I see a hint of yellow.
In the Tuileries Garden. That is not a real tree but a sculpture in iron.
I found a place that serves Moscow Mules which wouldn’t be a big deal except they had the famous copper cups. For some reason it adds to the flavor.
The view of a sunrise from my couch through dirty windows.

ET

The Eiffel Tower was lit up in pink for Breast Cancer awareness. I saw photos, did a little research and foolishly thought it would be pink the whole month of October. I was wrong. I did get some night photos, just not in pink. Included are some day photos when I had an appointment in the area.

Here’s the moon crossing the Seine.
The moon as I near Trocadero.
Here she is along with quite a few people.
Day time shot. There are doing a ton of renovation to it so I try to get photos without seeing it.
A popular place for Instagram shots. I wonder what it is like to live in one of the buildings facing the Eiffel Tower? Pretty cool, I bet.
