Paris at Night

After the session last night we got into the car to drive back home. After a few moments it dawned on both of us .... We are driving through Paris at night!

With a seeming casual disinterest the city showered upon us its lavish beauty. We crossed the Seine, one of its many bridges illumined with numerous lights; looking to the right there was the Eiffel Tower, bathed in light. Then we passed the Louvre and its newfound trademark, the pyramid, disseminating its structural grandeur and dignity in a pillar of light.

The City of Light is merely the appropriate name for Paris. Just stepping onto the streets one just cannot help but immediately feel uplifted by the beauty and the elegance; it is everywhere: in the architecture, in the clothes of the people and in their faces.

Walking by the windows of the shops, we see food created and arranged with such an impeccable sense for pleasing the eye, one stops to take in the sight. Only here in Paris does it occur to me to call a display of food breathtakingly beautiful.
