Paris

The Timeless Beauty of Paris Rooftops

This week, once again, I am dipping into my archives, reflecting on the memories captured during my travels. I don’t think these cityscapes from Paris are like this anymore; the city evolves with each passing year, transforming its landscape and spirit. There are sure to be changes since I took these photographs, and I find myself both nostalgic and curious about how much has shifted in that time. I think these particular images date back to 2006.

CFFC – and Monday window

I looked at old photos during the weekend as needed to release some space to my hard drive. I say these and they were fresh in my memory as I saw these two challenges and thought they are so suitable for them even id old photos. Taken in Paris 2006 🙂 I do have to say nowadays I would pay more attention to framing and composition.

Street photography – traditional

Cities, People

I have shared this image before, but now edited the tone of the shot and also made a monochrome copy of it. What I like about this is the father’s traditional shoes – his whole style of dressing compared the the children walking with him.

I took this shot several years ago in Paris, but something in it appeals to me. I think the leading lines, depth of field and composition works. Too much analyzing 🙂 ?

It has been a long time since I took part in Monochrome Madness , I always seem to be a day late. The images there are worth looking at so have a look at the other entries too, lots of talented photographers participate in this challenge.

Here is my entry for this week, the theme was HIGH – Eiffel towel in Paris is that…I played with two images and ended up sending this highly edited version. Most of the time I want my photos to be as natural as possible, this time I chose differently, comments?

Makrohaaste 105 Piikki – Point, Spike

I found it hard to decide what kind of point to post – so I have answer from pointy statues – landmarks. they always seem to have a point on them.

And well back to nature Juniper is rather pointy! And one thing that has nothing to go with Statues and nature – palette knife… ;.) What can I say wondering mind
