A lot of pain went in to produce this photograph. It was cold in more than one way that night.
It has been hard to shoot some good photos so far. The sky was not cooperative yesterday. The forecast hazards that the sky will continue to be gloomy today, with some snow.
The biggest thing that prevented me from shooting probably is that I joined some free tours around Paris. With any free tour, the groups I was in did not spend too much time at any one particular place as I would want to.
That was not bad at all really. These quick tours were good introduction to the city and a great place to meet new faces, apart from the hostel. And since I will be spending weeks here, the introduction tours gave me an idea where I want to shoot later on.
Nevertheless, I do have something to share.
And my camera ran out of battery shortly after that. The area was way too hot for the camera.
I have only been in Paris for a day so far and the city is already climbing up my favorite cities list. Wide avenues, old buildings, easy to walk, easy to get around without cars, not too cold contrary to my expectation…
And I have yet to go to the Seine River!
Downside is that the weather is a bit depressing but that is my mistake.
Anyway, here is somewhere close to where I stay at the moment.
And oh, the cliche is true. Not too many people speak English. Still, I have been to Bangkok. How much worse could it be than that, if it is going to be worse at all?
