Out of the Jurisdiction: Icons of Paris

I have avoided showing the icons of Paris.  My willpower gave out.  Today is the day.


Place des Vosges is almost too beautiful for words.


Everyone shows the Buren columns at Palais Royal.  Me, too.


Notre Dame without crowds?  Yes, from a quiet church garden across the Seine.


(And an evening shot from closer.)


Sacre Coeur from the roof of the Pompidou Center.


The Eiffel Tower.


And, perhaps the most iconic symbol of Paris:  a beautiful woman.  
I came across a model shoot at Palais Royal.

  4. Long live the icons of Paris. They are the backdrop for all the other quirky, behind-the-scenes shots of the City of Light. I enjoy them all!

  8. To borrow a phrase, if one is tired of Paris, one is tired of life.
