Forget the illuminated buildings of New York. We are confined. In Paris, a lot of families have fled to their country houses or to their parents living somewhere less dreary than a city where all cafés, all restaurants, most shops are closed. And from this Paris flat, I can see that most windows are dark. Very few signs of night life in this picture. Well the Eiffel Tower is trying to animate the landscape, but it is still sad. At least I am lucky enough to see it. Many apartments in Paris don’t have this kind of consolation. And don’t think I am free to travel to Paris from where I live for pleasure. I have to brave confinement rules to attend dreary tasks that I would prefer to avoid. But since I always carry my faithful camera all the time, I had to take this shot using a 35mm lens which is probably ma favorite focal length. In this case, it fits the scenery. A wider angle lens would have changed the proportions of the foreground. ( I have tried !)
