People of Paris

[DES]

A selection of photos that I came across recently.....It seemed that people in Paris appreciate their surroundings (easy to do!). I don't know if those in these photos were visitors or residents.

Most of my photos are of the landmarks and the usual sights but I'm glad I "humanized" a few photos to add to the memories.

This is lunchtime at the Palais Royal

Others just relaxing in the garden at the Palais Royal

The Pere Lachaise cemetery is the largest in Paris with the graves of many famous people. It is always busy with tourists, but it offers solitude for some.

This was a "grab shot" in the Musee D'Orsay -- didn't know it worked out so well until I got back home and looked at my files.

Nice work adding human subjects to some of your shots. I tend to avoid this and should probably open my eyes to possibilities like these more often. That last shot worked out really well.

These are really cool. I like Street Photography like this, though I guess the last one wasn't in the streets.

My 2 favorites are #3 and 4. Those are really super cool. especially that last one. I hope that last one gets into your Best of 2025, which hopefully we see soon.
