Paris ..again


An evening in Paris.. again

Revisited Paris yesterday. ... though just a walk by the river Seine from Place de Concorde to Eiffel Tower. The bridges were lovely and the river looked mellow in the soft mild pink sky. The fresh greenery added to the landscape made the city looked like repainted. I tried my hands on my DSLR. I was lucky enough to get a handful of shots appropriate.. though they did not match the camera of my eyes. That always happens. The camera is not as intelligent as my eyes... ;). I had a hearty dinner of Crepe ,popular in Paris with a combination of eggs, chicken and cheese with a taste of aromatic fennel. Discovered a few more monuments than before and a few art peices thrown here and there. I crossed the Bateau de Paris and loved the hustle bustle of the crowd of tourists. On the way back, the whole city was dazzling over the river. There were projected illluminations every where. The city of light looked new and old at the same time and appeared quite illusive and warm. ...today I am spending my evening at the silicon valley of Paris "Ici c,est Issy" because of the dullest weather so far during my stay in Paris and writing this note. ... Aller !!! bon voyage a tous...
