This was originally going to be a portrait shot of the Eiffel Tower but I quite like this one too, especially with the lovely colour of the sky in the background.

I love the converging lines of columns like this. The stone work is so old, and here I am just sitting next to it taking a photo.

Jaysus, I nearly dropped me phone when I spotted this scene in the Musée d’Orsay like. There’s your man on the left, pure glued to his iPhone, probably updating his Insta or whatever, and the other fella hanging on to some pamphlet or other. And there in the middle, this massive marble yoke, probably worth…

The curves and textures of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre in Paris are evident in this close up photo of the roof. I love how the curves flow, and the patterns repeat.

In parts of Paris, they have such wide footpaths that café and restaurants have seating outside. The city where I live has done likewise, sometimes successfully, but more often, impeding pedestrians and annoying people. One pub claimed so much public real estate that pedestrians had to walk between tables to get past.

A young tourist listens to the audio tour of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris while the statue of Tarcisius, a Christian martyr, lies next to him.

When you visit the Eiffel Tower, you’ll see the massive Jardin de la Tour Eiffel stretch off into the distance. In warm weather, the gardens are thronged with people in the evenings who gather to watch the Eiffel Tower light up. This photo was shot on one such evening. The night was calm, and warm…

A long figure seems lost in the courtyard of the Panthéon in Paris, while another sits on a rock bench lost in a book. An actual, honest to goodness, paper book.

I was walking up the street behind a man dressed in blue and this photo presented itself to me. Pink and blue and a man in a baseball cap. All gone within seconds.

Tourists flock on to the road near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Admittedly, I was one of them, but I was just walking across the road at the pedestrian lights.

The mirrors of 123 Champs-Élysées reflect a broken view of the world, making passers-by smile and laugh.

The Jeunesse d’Aristote is a statue made by Charles Degeorge and is currently in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris. Sometimes, we humans, unintentionally imitate others, even inanimate objects. Or maybe it’s just a comfortable way to sit. Degeorge captured that amazingly well in his work here.
