Notre Dame... Even more impressive in person.
Garden outside Notre Dame...
Thinker at Musee Rodin.
This city is so spectacular I can't focus (most so than usual)! Seriously, I have started this blog about ten times over... breathe... This will just be a few scattered thoughts about all that I have seen and loved in the City Of Lights so far...
My trip to Notre Dame was breathe taking. It's all I ever imagined and more. The gothic style has secrets and details hidden all around. As I walked up to the church I started to smile like a child and could feel a burst of energy that made me walk faster. It was just a feeling of, "am I really seeing this?!" I am staying so close to the church I am planning on going again in the morning with the hope there will not be as many people. The crowds don't really bother me. It's great so many people are having the same joy I'm experiencing. I'd just like to keep them out of my photos.

Rodin.
I loved these to painting in the Rodin Musee. It was looking at the paintings of the master of the renaissance era that I realized (in Italy years ago). The lightest part of a painting is always the focal point. The skin is so creamy white, it just pulls you in. The same is true about photography, so ladies STOP with the bronzer/tanning.
This is one place I'd love to have a blanket, some champagne, and sit for awhile. I'm heading back tonight to take another photo of the Eiffel Tower. I wasn't sure what side would give me the best photo. I'm going to go back just to make sure... I may just take a few things and plan on staying awhile!...
