The image features an elegantly designed street lamp, striking against a dark, moody sky. The column, characterized by its fluted structure, is crowned with ornate decorations and topped by a large lamp, which adds to its grandeur. Two smaller lamps are positioned symmetrically on either side of the column's base, enhancing its regal presence.
The monochromatic color scheme emphasizes contrasts, creating a dramatic effect that imbues the scene with a sense of historical significance. The textures of the stone and metal work add depth, inviting viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship involved.
Symbolically, the column could represent enlightenment or guidance, traditionally associated with lampposts, illuminating the path ahead. The dark clouds in the background may evoke a sense of foreboding or introspection, juxtaposing the illumination provided by the lamps against the encroaching gloom.
Overall, the image captures a moment of stillness, inviting contemplation on themes of history and resilience amidst adversity.

This is an old slideshow (found in a lost file directory) made with photos taken during my first trip to Paris, in 2003, with my first digital camera: a Nikon Coolpix 2000 (2 MP). 😀
It's not great, but it shows the Paris I love...

The image presents a view of a grand structure, likely a church or cathedral, captured in a dramatic black and white style. The building features intricate architectural details, including towering spires and elaborate stonework. The play of light and shadow accentuates the textures of the facade, revealing both the smooth and rugged surfaces.
The vantage point from below creates an imposing perspective, enhancing the sense of height and grandeur. Ornate elements, such as arches and decorative motifs, showcase a blend of artistic influences, possibly hinting at a historical style such as Baroque or Neoclassical.
Symbolically, the structure may represent faith, tradition, or the intersection of history and spirituality, evoking a feeling of reverence. The monochromatic treatment adds a timeless quality, inviting viewers to reflect on the legacy of the architecture and its role within the landscape.

The image captures a striking contrast between the historic grandeur of the Louvre Museum and the contemporary elegance of the glass pyramid designed by I.M. Pei. On the left, the classical architecture of the museum stands with its ornate detailing and majestic facade, embodying centuries of art and culture. The pyramid, on the right, offers a sharp but harmonious juxtaposition, its sleek lines and transparent surfaces reflecting modernity.
The scene is alive with activity, as visitors wander around the courtyard, perhaps captivated by the rich history that surrounds them. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality, evoking a sense of nostalgia while emphasizing the architectural dialogue between the old and the new. This interaction invites contemplation about the evolution of art and architecture, highlighting how both can coexist and enhance one another. The image can evoke feelings of curiosity and appreciation for both past and present, urging viewers to explore and perhaps reflect on their own experiences within such iconic spaces.

The large and high store building of "La Samaritaine" near the bridge "Pont Neuf" in Paris…

In this evocative image, a tranquil scene unfolds along the banks of a river, the Seine, given the context. The black and white palette adds a timeless quality, accentuating the stark contrasts between light and shadow.
A gently cruising boat, illuminated by warm lights, stands out against the cooler tones of the landscape, suggesting a sense of life and movement amid the stillness. The reflections on the water create a shimmering texture that draws the eye, inviting one to linger on the scene.
In the background, stately buildings rise gracefully, their architectural details softened by the monochromatic scheme. The presence of trees adds a touch of nature, balancing the man-made structures and hinting at a connection between urban life and the natural world.

Paris Big Tower, View from Tokyo Palace - 01.2025
35mm - 200 iso
As I was taking this photo, I asked my Parisian host friend what he thought of this iconic tower. His opinion was:
"It's not that I don't like it or think it's ugly, I'm just indifferent to this tower. The main thing I like about it is that it attracts all the stupid tourists to those parts of Paris where I would never go and nothing happens. So in that way the tower is worth it and they should keep it."
