Rita Crane Photography: View of the Seine from Le Pont Neuf, Paris

Techie note: I wish I could return to take this picture again, with a more powerful camera! Nowadays iPhones have more resolution than the Fuji Finepix S7000 I was using in 2004 to capture this moment! Perhaps one could call it a vintage digital image.

 

Here is the view of the Seine from the Pont Neuf in the historic center of Paris. You can see the Pont des Arts and the Louvre stretching from center right. The boats are docked along the Quai de Conti.

 

Despite the cold on this blustery March evening, the sunset reflecting in the choppy water was a fitting tribute to what had been a magical winter afternoon. After a week of overcast skies a storm had cleared the air, bringing welcome rain and beautiful clouds. I was in heaven even though my fingers were freezing!
