Like Paris In The Snow 2021-Series 1January 18, 2021 at 4:53 AM The last time in snowed in Paris was March 2018, so when snow was predicted for last Saturday, I was ecstatic. While playing in the snow for most people consists of snowball fights, building snowmen, and snow sports, my idea of playing in the snow is taking photos. Some of my best and happiest photographic moments have been walking through the snow in parks, gardens, and squares, braving the cold, fighting the snow so it doesn’t sting my eyes, and balancing my camera so it doesn’t get wet. ...Tags: Travel, Outdoors, Architecture, Paris, Gardens, Parks, Richard Nahem, Tuileries, Facebook Emily, Place des Vosges Today 105 people like this.
