This week’s challenge: Express Yourself.
Paris, France, is my new playground. (The Merry-go-round series, #1)
Inspired by the Dailypost page.
Enjoy the Day!

MEET JULS
On an eco-friendly journey, every day more conscious of the consequences of my actions on the environment, I also avidly learn about any trick I can live by and share, to make the world a better, greener and safer place for everyone.
Currently based back in southern France for work, learning Japanese, discovering permaculture, I’m also planning my next getaway !
Les Petits Pas de Juls 
I’m so in love with that photograph. Excellent capture!!!
Thanks! If you have time, check out the rest of the merry-go-round series 😉 you might encounter another one to your liking !
Thanks for stopping by!
Un angle inhabituel. J’ai toujours trouvé le Sacré-Coeur un peu Kitsch, mais Montmartre sera toujours Montmartre…
Exactement !
It is so hard to get fresh photographic perspectives on these sites, and you’ve done it masterfully.
Thank you, Stephanie, I’m happy to have found another way of shooting a well-known parisian site. 🙂
Amazing shot!!! 🙂 bye Kamila
thanks, Kamila! I’m always so happy that you enjoy the views! Cheers to you!
I will join you in your playground. I still sometimes miss Paris and France. Salut 🙂 Irina
Love the composition! And the color on top of the carousel is lovely in contrast to the stark surroundings.
Thank you, Angeline. It was a very overcast day in Paris, it even snowed lightly in the morning; but the merry-go-round old-fashioned lights and colors are always beautiful and definitely help for contrast.
Great composition !
J’arrive a Paris le prochaine mois…
I’ll try to take the same shot ! 😉
Ciao ciao

Yeah! Let’s see what you can get when you’re there! There’s another merry-go-round at the Eiffel Tower (I have another shot there too, I’ll show you later). You’ll have fun!
Ciao. We’ll be only 48 hours, it’s a gift to our nephew for her first 10 years ! So, Tour Eiffel, Notre Dame in serach of the Hunchback, Bateaux Mouches… Any suggestions for young child ?
48h, huh?!? I guess that you’ll already have plenty to do with the activities you list here! Walk the gardens too if it’s not too cold (Luxembourg, les Tuileries…)
We’ll have an afternoon, a day and the morning after… Than dipend much by the weather, if cold or good to stay out…
Great view.
It is! Always fun to see a merry-go-round all lighted up, specially if it’s in front of another great landmark in town. They look old-fashioned and it gives the area a vintage look.
Wow, now that is a great capture and interesting angle! I love love love Montmartre, my favorite place in all of Paris. Well done 😉
It’s the second picture of a series I’ve started in Paris… easy with so many merry-go-round everywhere… now, to put them in the same frame as another famous landmark is not always easy, except when they’re so close one to another!
You are very talented and creative. I can’t wait to see more of mon coin préféré de Paris 😉
Thanks fir those kind words. It’s very thoughtful of you to say and I hope you’ll enjoy the next pictures to come as much as this one.
This composition is rocking! 👍
Really, you think so?!?
I love it, I love that kind of perspective shot 😀 the angle here is refreshing.
I wanted to have both the colors of the merry-go-round and the impressive landmark in the background in the same picture. (I have another shot at the Eiffel Tower). The angle imposes itself, then. I’m glad you find it interesting and refreshing!
Love your composition!
I’m glad you do! 😀
Nice juxtaposition!
thank you! I wanted those 2 items in one shot and made it happen, one way or another! 😉
