I have been fortunate to visit Paris many times and it is one of my favourite places to be, I love the architecture and there is always something new to see.
On one occasion there was a large ferris wheel in the Jardin des Tuileries by the Louvre Museum. It was a great opportunity to get some different views of the city.
The first shot is slightly spoiled by a reflection in the glass of the compartment but other than that it is a terrific view of the rooftops along the Rue de Rivoli, with the Opera on the left of the picture and across the city toward Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur.
The second picture looks across the Place du Carrousel towards the Louvre with the crowds of people thronging around the entrance to the museum complex via the great glass pyramid. In the distance you can see the towers of Notre Dame.
The final shot is of the beautiful roofs above the colonnades along Rue de Rivoli with the flag flying above the Palais Royal in the background.
I really love this city and look forward to going back. I can easily imagine myself living there in a tiny attic apartment and walking the streets soaking up the atmosphere...
