Paris by night

The night time is when Paris really shines. I like Paris during the day, but with all the tourists, the traffic, the noise - I don't love it. But at night. Oh, at night! Walking home at 2am in the silence. Looking at those old buildings all lit up - it's then that my heart really swells and I realize how much I love this city. Have you ever watched the sun rise over the Seine, with Paris as a backdrop? I've had the occasion to do it several times this summer, and I'm telling you - the light, the colors - it's so beautiful it just makes your heart ache. Combine that with the gorgeous sunsets I get behind the Eiffel Tower every night and you've got one happy camper.
Paris, you've stolen my heart.

  1. What a GORGEOUS photo... I happen to agree with you, though I am seldom in Paris at night to enjoy it as much as if we were living there.. It's all good, though! --Leese
