WELCOME

Paris Views


One of the most disheartening things I saw in Paris was people in the Louvre looking at their guidebooks and not the art. Then I realized too that in every wonderful building, like the Royal Palace in Madrid, or The Victoria and Albert in London, people miss a great deal by moving too fast. It seems like a footrace to see as many things as possible, and in the process see very little. I suggest looking up and looking down. The top photo is a finial on (I think) the Petite Palace and the bottom photo (I know) is of the floor in the Paris Opera House.
