Almost exactly two years ago I found out that one of my good friends was going on a business trip to Paris. I couldn't believe what a fabulous opportunity this was and immediately started daydreaming (or scheming )about how I could go. I called and asked if she would let me share her hotel room if I could figure out my airfare. She agreed and I got to work. I don't know if all the planets aligned or what - but I was able to fly to Paris using 25K air miles each way! There was some kind of deal going on for the month of November, I couldn't believe it! I mean I can't even fly to LA for 25K miles each way - this was a miracle! So with the strong encouragment of my husband and went. While my friend worked and attended conference meetings, I wandered the city, toured buildings, cafes and museums and took pictures. It was soooo much fun!
The story behind this image is that I was bound and determined to see as much of Paris as I could. This could get tricky in the evenings because, for the most part I was on my own -so I jumped on a double-decker tour bus. When I saw this building the bus was at a stop light - I held my camera as steadily as I could and clicked. Paris on a November evening....
This image was awarded first place (My first ever) at the Seattle Professional Photographer Association November meeting.
