Notre Dame

The snow just keeps coming in Paris. Though it is cold it is difficult to stay indoors, Paris in the snow is irresistible. Yesterday morning when I woke the rooftops were white. I searched for a pair of shoes with a decent tread and skated on over to Notre Dame. Pont Marie was a bed of snow and all the Quai's were strips of white. The photographers were out in force snapping Paris from every angle. This pic is taken on the right bank behind Notre Dame on my Leica M8.. Stay warm Carla x

The Big Chill Paris

Break out the long johns if you are heading to Paris this week. Its freezing but gorgeous. The whole city is frozen. The canal st. martin is covered with giant sheets of ice, the fountains have frozen mid stream, the gardens are covered with snow and if the water that comes out of the gutter to clean the streets is a block of ice. Last night the temperature dropped till -8 and on my way to dinner I saw the fountain above and raced back this morning to photograph it. A spectacular time to be in Paris...
