The City of Light: Capturing Paris’ Most Beautiful Moments
October 29, 2012

There’s a reason why Paris is known as La Ville-Lumière, and it doesn’t have anything to do with the Eiffel Tower sparkling at night, as many people might think when they first hear Paris’ favorite nickname. Forget the architecture, the food, the culture and the fashion. The light alone would have us coming back for more…

Carin; you’re SO right and your beautiful photography is proof of it…. I also find it useful that you tell our visitors that it is NOT the ET to give Paris it’s ‘second name’ but truly the ever surprising moments of this amazing and wonderful light!
You lit my morning – thank you. I was so ‘submerged’ in my thoughts and prayers for our American friends in the dark night caused by Sandy that I forgot that there IS light!!!
@ Victora: Thank you so much! Yes, Paris is absolutely beautiful in the rain too!
