Buildings on Place de la Concorde

Close up on two buildings facing the Concorde square. Impressive aren't they ?

I'm getting older today and I was looking for a photo for that event. This is it !

The photographer on the Place de la Concorde

If you've ever been in Paris you know what a photographer's dream is the Place de la Concorde. 

Sunset from the Jeu de Paume

Monday I was telling you about about the beautiful view we have when we stand in front of the Jeu de Paume at the end of the Tuileries garden. Here is what I saw when I got of the Kertész photo exhibition. The sun was going down and the Eiffel tower in the far away seemed nearly as big as the Obelisk on the Place de la Concorde. Who could resist to take the picture ?

Theme day : Photo of the year 2010

I posted this photo on november 21st when the giant wheel returned to the Place de la Concorde for the holiday season to celebrate this month's theme day.

I also wish you all a very happy new year or as we say in French : je vous souhaite une excellente année 2011 !

Place de la Concorde

After ths snow we have had great blue skies since yesterday. A nice opportunity to shot lots of picture like this one on the Place de la Concorde where the holiday wheel stands behind the Louxor obelisk. The horse still has got snow on his back !

Blog to blog

Looking at the very nice Genie's blog called "Paris and Beyond" I realized that this weekend I took nearly the same picture that the one she posted last Thursday but at night. So here's a variation of the place and a "blog to blog" talk like we sometimes also do with Virginia's Paris Through my Lens. 

She's back !

The giant wheel on the Place de la Concorde is back for the holiday period and so is the Christmas market on the Champs Elysées. I saw the wheel yesterday night for the first time this year and wanted to share it with with this picture mixing the Concorde Obelisk and the wheel. I will certainly have the opportunity to show you more since it's only the beginning of the period. Have a great Sunday (which will be a rain day in Paris) !
