Kerouac, these pictures are magical! Can you tell me what kind of camera you use as all your past and present pictures are fantastic!

Great shots. It's snowing here right now in Massachusetts, but it's not so magical.

Wow what a treat - great photographer and uncanny ability to show Paris in different nuances.

thanks a lot! Makes me feel like I' trekking up to Montmartre.

Wonderful, Kerouac! Thank you.

Take it easy on the Velibs.

Kerouac, thanks so much for the great pix. If we can't be in Paris, it's always wonderful to have a visual enjoyment!

As much as I passionately hate snow, I must love Montmartre more because it really does look lovely.

I realize it was Sunday morning, and Parisians can be slow to rise, but some of those pictures totally depict the "village" feel I like so much about that area.

Thank you! (she says while her space heater in a modern office building is on full blast today). ;-)

Actually, YankyGal, I thought an enormous number of people were out compared to a normal Sunday morning. Usually at that time of day there would have only been a few Japanese wandering around, maybe some Brazilians too. But that morning, most of the people I saw were Parisians who flocked there to appreciate the snow.

Quite a few of them had the old urban standby for their children, when nobody in a city owns a sled -- they brought big black garbage bags with them to slide down the slopes.
