Theme ~ Night Lights

chosen by Craver

I've used several of my nighttime images--moon and stars--in past Headbanger posts, and so my thoughts turned toward the man-made varieties of lights that we see once the sun sets.  I don't have many of those, but I do have several from a very special place, thanks to my strong and thoughtful husband!  Fernando willingly toted my tripod around Paris, both during the day and at night, so that I could get both selfies for us and beautiful nighttime shots.

Without further ado, mostly because I have a bad cold (developed in literally an hour yesterday) and my head is fuzzy to say the least, I give you my images for Night Lights.

My header image, minus the crop:

On Avenue Champs-Élysées, looking east toward the Arc de Triomphe.

The below is one of my very favorite images from our trip.

On Avenue Champs-Élysées, with the Arc to my back, looking west in the rain.

On Avenue Champs-Élysées -- Fouqet's, a restaurant featured in the movie Taken.

On Ile St. Louis, while we enjoyed our ice cream from Bertillon, just after a brief rain shower.


Pont des Arts, one of the four pedestrian bridges crossing the Seine.

Looking across the Seine River, with Notre Dame in the center.

On a side note, as I write this blog on Tuesday evening, I'm planning on heading out to the backyard patio to see if I can catch a good photo of Mars.  Today is the opposition of Mars!


Treasuring life's moments,
