In Notre-Dame Cathedral, I was drawn to the votive candles not just as a source of light but as an opportunity to photograph people. This picture is an #icm in order to disguise the faces of those during an intimate moment. I hope this works.

This pic tries to capture the central heart of Notre-Dame, the crossing, looking toward the choir and apse. I wanted to catch the chandeliers washing the pillars and stonework with warm light, while also revealing the stained-glass windows across the apse lit with cool daylight. #icm

This is a detail of Nicolas Coustou’s Pietà (1725) on the high altar of Notre-Dame Cathedral seen from behind. It seems to tell a different story than if seen from the Choir.

Cité des Fleurs on Île de la Cité, Paris, I saw this woman with flowers the colour of the clothes she was wearing.
I approached. She didn't speak French or English; I didn't speak Portuguese. She signed that it was OK for me to take her picture.
My camera chose her flowers over her face. Obrigado!

Tonight there is a supermoon!
This happens when the moon is at its perigee or closest to us in its egg-shaped orbit around the Earth. During a supermoon, it looks bigger and brighter than normal.
If you usually grow hair on your back and howl at the full moon, tonight should be a biggie for you!

I was given a personal tour of the Opéra Garnier in Paris yesterday, where 5000 people are employed. It seats 1500, but only 800 get a good view of the stage, which stretches back 50m. The fly loft is 40m high. 3 operas play in rotation, as singers cannot perform on consecutive evenings.
