The river Seine from Pont Louis-Philippe
I took this photo last Monday, as I was walking from Hôtel de Ville to Sèvres-Babylone. I have tried to resume walking every day whatever the weather. I was walking across Pont Louis-Philippe, my camera in my right hand and my umbrella in the left one.
I sort of like the photo, now that I am dry and out of the rain

I really enjoy your photos. And I need to get off my duff and start walking again.
It’s a very open shot, not so closed in and crowed as Paris pictures usually are.
This scene almost appears to be enchanted
Beautiful! A soft, muted background. I thought of Verlaine.
“Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville.”
Brings back memories, Claude. We were only in Paris for 2 days, and it wasn’t enough!
Nice photo, Claude. You make me want to see Paris in person.
Looks like the river is high. The Cher isn’t too high right now. I guess most of the rain was north and east these past couple of weeks.
Congratulations on your resolve to walk whatever the weather. The lighting in this photo says it all.
yes, a beautiful photos. It’s good to be on the move every day; my yoga teacher is always imploring us to do it every day, but it is hard!
Great photo, Claude. Has a mystical quality to it. And that’s quite a good walking distance. I’m jealous…how I’d love to be walking in Paris right now. Although it looks a bit chilly there from the forecast.
I really like this “moody” picture, other scenes you’ve taken when the sun wasn’t shining, or storm clouds forming. I also admire that you’re trying to walk regularly. I really need to do that, as I keep saying, but don’t do. If I could have the promise of a water scene as a goal I think that would be incentive enough. A good friend, a hour so away from me, is able to walk along the ocean. That would appeal to me, also, and we do go to the ocean often when I visit them.
