Carpe Diem

Paris is not only encouraging me to contemplate elegance and aesthetics, but it's also teaching me to seize the moment.

Today, as I lay nursing my son, I heard a truck park below our apartment. There was a flash of light and when I looked up, I saw this:



Old buildings, old windows, old iron work: I breathed in the delicacy of it all.

Wow, Dya. What beautiful photos! I have a similar ceiling-light photo of my flat in London. Something about empty rooms is so moving — have you ever seen the Hopper painting of plain light in a vacant room? Beautiful.

Thanks Kai! And thanks for bringing Hopper into my life. Are you referring to Sun in an Empty Room? http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/
