The last of the snowy Paris shots for the moment, I promise you!!! My street, ma rue, in snowy Paris, with evidence of my passing, if you look closely…

C’est la derni

Such a familiar sight – tourists pausing to gawp in wonder at this amazing structure which , although a terrible cliche now, is nevertheless the ultimate symbol of the city and perhaps the best-recognised monument in the world – way to go Gustaf!

On the Champs de Mars the pickings are sparce when the snow falls… how chilly must he be feeling?!
Sur le Champs de Mars, ca doit etre difficile de trouver de quoi a manger quand la neige tombe… il doit avoir faim! (pardonnez mon francais – ce n’est pas ma faute, je suis britannique!)

A ‘still life’ I’m particularly fond of. I just like the lines, the balance between the bottle and the cigarette packet, the snow, the strong diagonal, and of course the ever-present question of just how, exactly, that bottle and that packet arrived at that point in their existence. By what hand were they placed or thrown there. And where is that person now. C’est le ‘non-dit’ qui me passionne beaucoup dans la photo…

Beauty is there, under your nose all the time, even in the greyest city, if you keep your eyes open and look out for it! The last of the autumn leaves get an unusual taste of Paris snow just before Christmas.

Nothing like a bit of fun when it snows here in Paris! Poor old dad didn’t see that one coming…

Forty cities, that is, with the arrival of Metroblogging Mumbai. Welcome, Mumbai!
