It's not surprising that my first attempt at collage is something French! Thanks to Randi for introducing me to Picasa, a free download that organizes photos and allows me to do this beautiful collage.
Ah, la tour Eiffel! the very symbol of France. These images are from all three of my trips to Paris. I just can't seem to stop taking pictures of the tower. Every time you turn around, there she is...tall, stately, begging to be photographed in this light, from this angle. I love her lacy underpinnings. I love how she twinkles after dark, thousands of tiny lights dancing up and down her body. I love how she anchors every vista and peeks over and around buildings, old and new. I well up in tears at the mere sight of her. Because once you see her, there's no mistaking that the marvelous city you are in is Paris..the most exciting, exhilerating city in the world!
PS...I promise not to whine about the weather, but....it was 12 below zero at 6:30am and there's ice on the inside of several windows! Tell me why I live here again??
