Paris sous la pluie

Paris sous la pluie

Description

Paris in the Rain. I took this in Montmartre, one of my favorite photo locations in Paris. We had rain for seven of our nine days in France so you will see lots of umbrellas and glistening pavement in my shots.

Do I recognize this spot, Nikki? Oh, yes I do. :)) And this new shot is great. Those folks going down the steps are excellent, as is the framing with the steps off center and the tall lamp post. And while the rain may have gotten tiring on the trip, it is definitely a plus here. #7645472

We have been raining for what seems like forever, too, Nikki. Looking forward to seeing your trip. I have one more week of school and then...DONE! Hopefully at that time I can do some major catching up! This is a beautiful street scene capturing the mood of the city perfectly! #7646751

Beautiful treatment of this vintage feeling scene Nikki. Sorry you had so much rain (we did also) but that can be a bonus with the colorful umbrellas and glistening streets. Welcome home. #7647332

Hi Nikki,
I had to add this one to one of my favorites! Love it! #7678080

Peter W. Marks June 25, 2009

Hey, all you guys who are waxing lyrical about this delightful image of Paris. If you are all going there just don't forget to stop off in God's wonderful green and pleasant land-England. It rains there too!

Really nice work Nikki. When you mention 'simplify filter' are you referring to Topaz Adjust?
Regards, Peter #7678613
