Description
One of many favorite spots near where my wife Sheila and I stayed in Paris a few years back. Art, life, and beauty was almost everywhere I went. East we could head down Rue Saint Andre des Arts to several preferred groceries; north led to Place Saint Michel, the Seine and Notre Dame, and west meandered into the Latin Quarter. South was back to our apartment then further to Luxembourg Gardens. What's funny about this image is Sheila and I tried half a dozen variations where we straightened the perspective, and none were as interesting to us as this initial original take (smiles). A poster version with a color border and text is also available.

Art by LaRoque - oh I should frame your wonderful comment, LaRoque! And with that pinch of mystery, yes! :)

Stanza Widen - what a wonderful observation and comment, thank you! I totally agree, “what we could still create if we cared enough” - I think we can and we will :)

Felipe, this is a wonderful favorite... excellent perspective, great lighting and fabulous composition draws the viewer in to this magnificent view which is so beautifully photographed. Love the copper pan sculpture, a creative complement to this lovely scenery! F/L

Brian, thank u for your wonderful review (smiles) - I knew right away this would also be one of my favorites of our stay in Paris. I did tinker with "fixing" the perspective-tilt in the buildings, lol, but it always felt best as it began :)

Thanks so much! And leave it to the French to hang a string of brass pots out reflecting and adding "more" light & detail :)

Oh, thank you, Mioara :) I was like a contortionist trying to angle myself to get space on either side of the the pans & two bldgs! :)
