Paris Pictures

HEY GUYS. So currently I'm waiting in the airport for a flight to paris, so i thought i would get some pictures of Paris to review.



This picture is a comparison from i believe one hundred or so years ago; it shows how paris has changed through out the years. Mostly i was interested in the modern image to the right, I like that one more. The street kind of creates an interesting portion of the picture, since it's crooked and almost everything else is straight vertical or horizontal. Apparently, Paris has a lot of crooked and winding streets. It's interesting to see how the buildings have stayed the same, throughout the one hundred years. It seems in many busy bustling cities there are always old relics that give an idea of what the city used to be like. There's a good contrast in theis picture between the ground (bottom of picture) and the sky (top of picture). Not so much with the older photo though. The pictures are mostly the same, the street is the only thing that seems to have been modified, besides other small things on ground level like the ad's on the walls.


This is a delayed image of Paris at night. Pretty cool, I think. Again you can see all the old architecture, and like London this city keeps a lot of its history in it. THis picture could be a scene from one hundred years back, if not for the cars and roadways, and the flourescent street lights. I thought of getting a picture of he eiffel tower for this post, but i figured that would be pretty cliche, so i refrained. This picture reminds me of the houses of Parliament in London; the building and bridge have some of the same architecture and colors in it. Even though this picture was taken at night, there is still some contrast in the dark river and the lighter blue sky. Prt of the large building is also lit up, showing some of the lighter colors you can find in a photo.
