Entre Ombre et Lumiere

I love so many things about Paris, in particular, Le Marais (3eme & 4eme arrondissements), one of my favorite parts of the entire city. As you stroll along the crooked streets you might be able to sense what Old Paris may have been like since many buildings in this area were not modified by Napoleon's great civil planner, Baron Hausmann.
A historic district, part of the charm of this area is due to the diverse mix of cultures, architecture, etc.
I was intrigued by the shadow cast by one building upon another just across the way one sunny spring morning while I was walking down the street, so that's what you see depicted in this image.

Nighttime in Paris - Seductive Reflections...

Paris is truly beautiful in every season. There is a natural visual splendor about this most wondrous European capital that transcends time, space, weather, etc. The city holds a unique charm during the daytime but it has a particularly seductive power after dark. The Seine plays a major role in giving this city an air of mystique beginning at sunset and continuing into the night. The elegance of this famed city of lights is enhanced further by way of the positioning of reflecting pools near many of its magnificent architectural sights. The resulting luminous glow reflecting in the water leaves the observer with an unforgettable memory. I am fortunate to have captured such memories on film...in sharing the resulting images I hope that I can impart my good fortune with others. Enjoy!
