One of the more prominent natural features of Paris is the 130 metre high Montmartre and it is the site of one of the more recognisable symbols of the city, Sacré Cœur. These two iconic features of Paris are a must for any visitor to the ‘City of Lights’; they are located on the Right Bank just north of the city in the 18th arrondissement.
La Tour Eiffel (The Eiffel Tower) is one of the truly great iconic landmarks in the world; it is one of the many things that symbolises Paris. Built as apart of the 1889 World Fair, and was only intended to be part of the Parisien skyline for 20 years; 118 years later, the 'Iron Lady' remains one of the most beautiful and recognised structures in the world.
"Sign Sign everywhere a sign" so goes the song penned by the Five Man Electrical Band. Street signs are wonderful elements for photography as they can put context to the image and while the scenery may not be immediately identifiable, the placement of a sign within the photograph puts an unmistakable 'accent' to the picture.
Photographie de Paris (Paris photography) always exhibits a timeless beauty. The city of Paris is full of the verve and energy of life; and the streets are alive with people being people. Around Saint Germaine Saint Martin, Passy, Place des Vosges, Montmartre, along Parisian streets like there are photographic subjects and wonderful compositions to be had.
One of the best things about a visit to Paris has to be the ease at which the city can be explored; its is a compact city (only about 10km across) and can easily be walked but, one of the best things about this wonderful city is the Paris Métro. The efficiency by which it transports people around the city is the envy of other international cities; not only is it well planned but the beautiful architecture (mostly Art Nouveau) of the stations makes a trip on the Paris Metro a must for any visitor to Paris.
