Paris, dawn, January

Just a small set of photos which I hope will appeal to early risers and also to people who wonder if it worth it to visit Paris in January: http://tinyurl.com/2ck2rmq

Well, as I wrote, this was 7:30 this morning. In June, I would have to get up at 5:00.

Ah, glistening Paris streets and the hulk of St. Eustache against the dawn - I can feel it in every pore despite the thousands of miles distance. You definitely captured it, kerouac, not that I would expect anything less!

Thank you, K. How I wish I were there, even though I certainly would have been sleeping and missed all this.

Wonderful. I am an early riser and often out the door by 6. I adore Paris in the very early mornings!

More beautiful pictures from you! I think January is a wonderful time to be here albeit quite chilly this holiday for us.
Thanks for posting your pics.

<It doesn't really rain in Paris every morning. The entire city gets washed down by these guys every day.>

We refer to them as "the Little Green Men" and enjoy watching them from our hotel window...sort of reminds me of the Ghostbusters somehow.

Wonderful pictures once again!

Love the trees outside the McDonald's and the glistening streets.

Merci, Kerouac! Gorgeous pictures that once again make my heart ache for Paris! We are probably going to Greece this year (after 6 trips to Paris in 4 years, hubby wants to see another part of the world) and the thought of not seeing scenes like these makes me so sad.

Thank you for constantly sharing your love of Paris with us through your very unique eye.

Only in Paris would a McD's have a charming aspect.


Thank you for the (as usual) most evocative photos.
