On the banks of the Seine

Still processing Paris shots! I just love how the Parisians (Europeans in general) get out and enjoy the summer. We are too busy staying out of the sun here so it's not a scene we in North Queensland see too often. The thing that intrigues me in this shot is the window. It has once been covered over but a part broken off to reveal a curtain behind. I wonder if someone lives in there. Obviously the cat does. I wish I had gone back for another photo but this was taken as we cruised down the river.
Love this shot! Fantastic diagonal line, groups of people doing different things to make me wonder what their story is, action and leisure all at once, and that kitty with his unexpected pop of color in the mysterious window - just fantastic Sheralee!! Fav!

Great relaxed summer shot. That window does look intriguing. I hope you are enjoying your time in Paris. I must say I am very envious.
July 22nd, 2015  
Great shot, all of the above. Fav

@karlow75 Sorry Kane, I'm still processing Paris shots is what I meant. Back home and starting to heat up after the little cool spell we all had. It was even cold here!

Great shot, a lot to look at here. Great window too.

How beautiful Sheralee. I love the textures and human interest captured here and of course the quaint window with puss soaking up the parisian sun :))

Great shot and the window is very intriguing

Great composition.

Lovely strong diagonal lines, fascinating growth and a very intriguing window. Actually, the mysterious window, curtain and cat caught my eye first! It made me wonder who might live there.

Great shot with so many interesting elements. I particularly like the cat in the window. :)
July 22nd, 2015  
The whole composition worked really well.
July 22nd, 2015  
Beautiful! Love this capture and POV, Sheralee!
July 22nd, 2015  
Oh, that opening with the orange cat in it caught my eye immediately. There's surely an interesting story to be told about it. I like the angled line the people form as they sit at the edge of the steps.
July 22nd, 2015  
Great comp, love how you included the cat. That's a very interesting outdoor access for it.
July 22nd, 2015  
Lovely interactions.
July 22nd, 2015  
Wonderful street portrait and composition. There's a lot to look at here. FAV
July 22nd, 2015  
This is so neat. Your eye is just drawn along the steps.
July 22nd, 2015  
Arhh! This brings back beautiful memories :)
July 23rd, 2015  
Wonderful shot! Great composition, lines, lots of interesting details!
July 23rd, 2015  
This is a lovely outdoor scene. I especially like the cat in the window.
July 23rd, 2015  
Great capture of the scene - I like how everyone is just sitting around on the steps.
July 23rd, 2015  
Wonderful shot. I like how relaxed the people are in this photo.
July 23rd, 2015  
Ahhhh...what a lovely scene! Sigh. Wonderful composition!!

OMG! I need to go and find the cat! Do you know what bridge is it? May be if I see pictures taken before and after I could recognize it!
July 27th, 2015  
@parisouailleurs Helene, I have been trying to find someone to go find that cat!! I would love it if you did. Yes, I do know which bridge, I will be back to tell you.
July 27th, 2015  
@parisouailleurs It is Pont Saint Michel and is part of the island. The Quai des Orfevres is behind this section. I really wish I had gone back the next day to see if the cat was there. As you can see this was almost 8.30pm. Do you live in Paris?
July 27th, 2015  
Yes Sheralee I live in Paris. I will go and try to see if I see it. Not sure sure I'll be able to dot it before September. Of course I'll take pictures and let you know. If you don't hear about it around mid September May I ask you to remind me? Got so many things to think about that I may forget. Thank you very much - your explanations are very clear and helpful.
July 28th, 2015  
@parisouailleurs Yes, I will try to remember also. I think if the cat is there it will make a great shot :) I saw it too late as we went past.
July 28th, 2015  
lovey picture

This is strange! I don't have many opportunities to stroll there with my camera. I work in Paris but I am always in a hurry, and this is not close to my work to go during lunch time. But if I can, I will check!
January 22nd, 2016  
@scatcat I would love to hear from you if you go there. I so wish I went back the next day. It is so intriguing.
January 22nd, 2016  
@parisouailleurs This is the photo I talked about :)
June 6th, 2021  
@bella_ss thank you so much. It is a long time ago and Paris have changed this past years. I don't have much time this days but if i am in the neighborhood i will take a look and let you know.
June 7th, 2021  
@parisouailleurs Thanks Helene, I hope to get back there myself one day. I can't see that happening for a couple of years though.
