Your Favorite Paris Photo-Segment 2

I want to thank everyone again for participating in this fun event and for sending your wonderful photos along with their stories. Enjoy segment two today. 

In fact. I've received so many more photos, that I am going to do a Segment 3, next Tuesday, May 26. 

I have another challenge up my sleeve, along the lines of this, which I will post soon. 

Click here to look at Segment 1 photos. 

Above photo is by Meredith Mullins- I thought this one of the Eiffel Tower in celebration was a nice tribute to de-confinement.

Edward Daniels- Sept. 2008 Montmartre at night.My wife and I loved to go to Paris, having gone numerous times but she died in April of 2008.  I returned with two of my daughters in early September to show them the City that my wife had loved.  While walking late at night in Montmartre, I snapped this photo...after looking at it later, I realized someone was moving in the photo and it looks like a ghost....so the folklore became that my wife was walking with us!  Love this night shot of The Hill!

Maxine Gaiber-Paris pre-social distancing. Montmartre wine harvest festival October 2018. Represents the best of Paris—history, art, architecture, a vibrant present,  joie de vivre!

Tim Morales-Here is one of my favorite Paris photos taken January 16, 2016 at 11:14am. I was on a river boat on the Seine when I took this photo using my iphone. This originally not one of my favorites, but with the fire that destroyed Notre Dame, it has become nostalgic for me as it was my first impression of the cathedral which I was in awe of. The stained glass windows, the stone carvings, the flying buttress's, the enormity of the place, all wonderful memories which this picture stirs for me. 

Linda Goldman-Favorite picture of the city of love

Joseph Lembo-with Vincent Gagliostro at Palais Royal 

George Marcelle-I took this in August 2008 on the Square du Vert Galant, very quickly bending over with my little pocket point-and-shoot to capture this business man on his lunch break napping over a magazine. I call It “Red Socks,” of course.

Jackie Vasey-This picture was taken 4 yrs ago already!!  We rented an apartment on the Rue Des Martyrs for the month of October and took the Metro everywhere... As this photo clearly shows...we had the time if our lives!!

Dan Evans-Here is my favorite photo of Paris: The Point Zero Stone in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. The photo shows me kneeling vowing to the stone that someday I will start from this very point and walk to Santiago de Compostela. This photo was in 2013 and photographed by LuLu LoLo.

Jeanne Govert- My friend, Suzie Genelin, wife of Michael, was a good photographer and I wanted a photo of myself in Paris that looked like one of those old postcards.  We spent the day at various cafes while she stepped across the street to snap the pics without my actually posing.  We even went to a TABAC and bought cigarettes, though neither of us smoked!

LuLu LoLo- I love this photo of me riding in a Citroën 2CV deux chevaux from 2013 in the 17th. I have always loved a deux chevaux. One day to my complete surprise my friend Christelle Das Neves said to me would you like to ride in a deux chevaux! I had no idea that her and her husband Raphael  Confino owned a deux chevaux! Christelle took me for a great ride around Paris. 

Shirley Kern- This photo was taken in August 2012 during my first trip to Paris. I believe that this is the Pont des Arts pedestrian "Locks of Love" bridge. I just love the colors and the memories that this photo exhibits.

Lois Howes- A picture that I took standing by the wall next to the Trocadero of the Eiffel Tower.

Heather Eisenmenger My husband and I were living in Paris in 1998 when France won the World Cup and I remember cars honking all night and people hanging from the lamp posts.  We moved back to the states the next year.  Then in 2016 we visited Paris with our family, again during the World Cup and took this picture.  

 

Sherry Murphy- I took this in November, 2012, on a trip to Paris with my husband. At the end of the Tuileries Garden, I came upon this shot, and though I have many other photos from Paris, this remains my favorite.

Del Lancaster- On the second to last day of our Paris trip, my friend and I were on our way to Musee d’Orsay when we arrived at a traffic light. These delightful young men were also waiting to cross the street. I thought this would be a fun photo to enter as the subject matter certainly brightened the day for two old American broads! 

Betty Gray-My favorite photo - Notre Dame Christmas tree.

Vicki Newton-This materialized during an annual photo shoot of the architectural iron and windows in front of the houses of haute couture on Avenue Montaigne, Fall 2016. The exterior joined the perspective of the interior.
