I am one of the lucky few to see Paris in the snow. I took full advantage of the opportunity and walked the 11 miles from my hotel near Bastille to the Arc de la Defense. The Parisians seemed to take the day in stride by staying home from work.

The pristine city seemed that much more elegant, adorned with the blanket of snow.

To give you a sense of scale those black specs on the stairs are people. One man was putting up a valiant fight with a snow shovel on the stairs, but in the end was fighting a loosing battle.

Snow photo Op!
Your Paris photos, in this last group, have showed me what my brother and his wife were so thrilled with when they visited Paris. Your timing was perfect in getting just the right amount of snow to show case the scenes that you photographed. Great shots! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too. I'll be thinking of you as I sample my turkey dinner and give you a little toast, "Naz Drowie". Jim Jim
