Jardin des Tuileries: Tuileries Garden in Spring

26 April 2011 by Clay McLachlan 1120

Springtime in Paris It is springtime in Paris; and this is by far the most beautiful spring weather I have ever experienced here. The days are growing longer exponentially by the day and the flowers span a riotous palette of colors. The incredible parks are alive with pulsing life. I was on a bicycle ride and stopped to capture this image of the arch seen from Le Jardin des Tuileries, capturing the Pyramid and part of the Louvre. I love the shadow of the trees and the mass of people moving steadily toward the archway. The timelessness of this city never ceases to amaze me. Technical Details: iPhone 3Gs, Hipstamatic app, John S lens, Ina’s 1969 film.
