This photo was taken from a balcony of a studio on the 6th floor of an apartment building in Monmartre. Fellow AirBnBers raved about the amazing view from Vincent’s place and it did not disappoint. Monmartre is the second-most elevated area of Paris and his place is at the top floor of his building.
It was taken in 2014, late August. So the air was just starting to get brisk at night, but the skies were still clear. The Eiffel Tower has a light show every hour on the hour after sunset and on some days it happens at the same time as the sunset, this day was one of those days. The cafés downstairs had just turned on their neon signs for the night.
Also, I had just eaten a great meal and those roses (to the bottom right) contributed a softness to every inhale...
i’m sure it’s obvious, but I have to say that, for me, it was one of those moments that remind you how much of a gift it is to be alive. I’m glad I got to capture a piece of it.
