Quai de Bourbon



A View along the Seine


The narrow strip is shared with the trees
showing the new leaves of spring.


A single flaneur has the space to himself...

I love the way the diagonal lines draw one, like the flaneur, toward the bridge in the distance.
Well done.

Hello Genie,

The patterns are so intriguing in this photograph, drawing and deceiving the eye at every turn.

And, how we love the term 'flaneur', the perfect role in life we think!

There is nowhere in the world like it Genie. I would go back tomorrow.

How much more Paris do you want. Nice one Genie.

This is a wonderful capture, Genie. Being in the right place at the right time!

Terrific shot. I'm struck by how high the street is off the river.

I'm with our friends J & L: Could I please just make my living as a flâneur?

Very very pretty, though the steep walls might give me vertigo.

I love the way you have composed this photo. That long perspective makes me feel as though I could just jump right into the photo!

I would have to weigh the photo shots if I made those stairs down and up!
