Dreaming of France -- Twilight in Paris


Thank you for joining this weekly meme. Grab a copy of the photo above and link back to An Accidental Blog. Share with the rest of us your passion for France. Did you read a good book set in France? See a movie? Take a photo in France? Have an adventure? Eat a fabulous meal or even just a pastry? Or if you're in France now, go ahead and lord it over the rest of us. We can take it.

Something strangely peculiar happens to the light in Paris as the sun begins to set. The light turns an amazing shade of blue and bathes everything in soothing tones. 
This is the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel just across the street from the pyramid at the Louvre.

Here's the pyramid as the clouds add to the drama of the sky. 

The Eiffel Tower is lit up already and a sliver of the moon hovers above.
And here's a closeup of the Eiffel Tower. I love how warm the golden light is. 
Thanks so much for playing along with Dreaming of France. I'd appreciate if you'd leave a comment and visit the blogs of others who decide to play along too. That way, we can all experience the joy and beauty of France.

I love that magical blue light! No wonder my mother’s old perfume bottle, Evening in Paris was that cobalt color!
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to play along with a new piece this week! My son’s birthday was this past Saturday, and the hubs is this coming Saturday so I reposted one of my stories about being on location: http://bit.ly/1QGpCJY
