Here's another of your wonderful pics of light from leaded glass. I think this is the church behind the Hotel de Ville? I went in for the first time on our last trip, and was surprised by the austerity, and yet it had a very pleasant and peaceful feel. I think it was heavily bombed in WWII and much rebuilt.
@ Tapirgal: it is. Paris, however, wasn't bombed during WWII. Hitler wanted Paris to be destroyed during the German retreat but the German officer refused.
Good guy. The Germans almost destroyed it with a (unintended) direct hit of the Paris-Geschütz in WWI. I like your signature colored light on the floor and the basement of the statue.
Je l'aime beaucoup! Il y a une "pietá" aussi?C'est merveilleux de voir le soleil avec leurs couleurs, reflétant les fenêtres de l'église ( stained glass). Magnifique! Léia
@ Ciel, thanks for reminding me of history. I must be tired, because I knew that. I'm trying to remember why so many church windows were knocked out other than the damage done to churches by the Revolutionaries. It's been awhile since I read about it.
C'est joli, ces spots de lumière tombant des vitraux, qui illuminent et adoucissent la scène.; je ne me souvenais plus de cette Pita. Je crois qu'un retour à Paris s'impose aussi.(ton blog m'inspire pour mes vacances! :)

Those look like very little chairs. Nice light.

The French really know how to do sculpture! Amazing piece and an very nice photo!
@ Tapirgal: VP, more of a French historian than I am, provided the correct answer!
The reflection is amazing and beautiful!
the reflection made this capture splendid.
