Today, after a light morning run and a rousing few hours at a library close to my apartment, I headed over to Notre Dame, planning to climb the towers and photograph the gargoyles. For some reason I had it in my head that this was the specific activity I wanted to do this weekend as a study-break.
However, when I arrived, they had already closed the line for the towers, an hour before the actual closing time! I guess the weekends are probably the worst time to go, because it is a popular activity for tourists and today was a particularly clear day. So instead, I spent about an hour walking around the Cathedral and the two Iles, people watching and photographing various slices of life that indicate spring is coming...birds, flowers, people reading outside...all in all it was a nice way to get away from my books for a bit, before heading home to continue writing my paper on "Baudelairian critiques on 'la vie moderne' of the 19th century."
Here are some of the shots, and the album from today is on the right, "Le Printemps à Paris."
Biz,
Ashley
