Paris 2022
In November 2022, I spent a week in Paris visiting French relatives, wandering the city and taking photos. Click images for larger view.
Trocadéro fountains

Eiffel Tower Relfection
I kept looking for the perfect puddle but couldn’t find one.

The sun finally broke through, illuminating this pigeon at the Trocadéro.
Rainy day in Paris
My first day in the city was a wet one.

Paris across time
The Eiffel Tower as seen from La Défense.
La Défense
I liked this modern area of Paris and caught some nice reflections in the morning light.
Chantilly Racecourse
The grounds here are impressive. If only there was a race happening!
Flowers near the Louvre
Flowers at the Jardin des Tuileries.
Window reflection
On a heavily overcast day I was searching for any light I could find.
Morning at Eiffel Tower
I found this iconic landmark very difficult to photograph with any originality, but I like the feel of a crisp autumn morning here.
Notre-Dame Cathedral
Another challenging subject. Most of the structure is enshrouded in scaffolding as they reconstruct what was lost in the fire.
Sainte-Chapelle
Hard not to stand in awe of the craftsmanship that went into this chapel.
Modern Paris
Some lovely fall color in the modern area of Paris (La Défense).
Modern facade
Unsure what this building is, but it struck a chord with the graphic designer in me.
Chantilly dressage rider
Dressage rider at the Chantilly horse museum.
Château de Chantilly
Due to time constraints and a slow moving ticket line, I didn’t enter the castle grounds, but was able to get this shot from the road.
