So Close And Yet So Far

She is always there waiting for us

superb

Paris traffic is uniquely revolting

Beautifully composed. That's why they invented the metro :)

Lovely, tones and composition

Au moins, en auras-tu profité pour rencontrer quelque ami(e) parisien(ne) ?

strange how it takes on the appearence of a crane, in a certain light.

Great, lovely place go visit

Ah, yes, the mixed pleasures of city life . . I find the first rule is 'make no plans' !

... Sur les toits de Paris.... :) Superb!

It would be prudent for you to take better a helicopter to get there in time :) Superb view. Bettina nice day.

Love the diluted colours here, a unique view, not the normal hustle and bustle
of Paris, what a long ride it sounds, so much time to plan and so little time to
do what you planned when you got there.

Superb original image of this wonderful city

This stells the story...but hope you are having a good time..ps loving your book..haven't gotten that far but really a great story of a great and dynamic and complex man.

I am 65 as of today - better hurry and read it quick..:-) <3 have fun

nice ambiance ,great framing and light !
kiss !

Sally and I were saying that's a helluva drive with the Germans and Belgians on your bumper, takes a bit of getting used to.
Long way from Berlin to Paris, still, an experience though!
This looks like the view from the peripherique.

I love Paris. My oldest boy is working there

Great frame and fantastic rustic colors; the photo made the ride worth it! Great shot!

"Where were you, Christian? I looked all over!"
Aha! Thank you for the humor! But I'm not Paris! I am Le Havre, near the sea, 220 kilometers from Paris. You follow the Seine and you arrive home!

I like this image - with the tower peeking out in the background.

Interesting comments on the traffic, I went in the middle of winter so it did not seem so terrible. It does look very far away.

interessante Ansicht, toll er entfernte Eiffelturm - die blasse Farbe passt ausgezeichnet

A Germano-American in Paris !

j'aime la sombrité des couleurs

Une vue sur les toits, sans oublier la belle dame de fer !...

I hope you have enjoyed your trip to Paris... so different from sunny LA !!! A very beautiful composition here, I like the fade colors effect. Have a lovely sunday :)

Oh Bettina, you've made this so full of drama and sense of humor! Refreshing idea beautifully executed! Cheers!

Montparnasse tower on left and Eiffel tower on right.. Hum.. May be you were in the east of Paris. Nation's place? Or république's place? Wathever, I dont recognize the in the middle. :)

What I didnt recognize? The crane! :)

Comme vue d'un autre Pays ou d'une autre ville...une vision très interessante et inhabituelle.

*lol* .... sorry! try it in englisch, it seems, that in paris, in each direction you can see the eifel-tower! it´s equal if north, south, west, east .... the tower is everywhere! tolle aufnahme!

With a view of the Eiffel Tower, you have to pay a high price !!! lol !! Phil

yes. disneyland paris. he's there for 6 months but his hoping to stay longer. he studied french at university so it's where he wants to be!

I see the tower, I do... great share.

The desaturated color is a perfect choice for this street scene. A lovely shot. I'm loving this series so much.

fab colour handling, and what a place to be

Wonderful composition. Nice tones. Lovely. :)

You captured the two higher monument of Paris with Montparnasse to the left and the Eiffel tower in the middle. NIce.
Have a nice day.
