Rita Crane Photography: Paris / historic cafe / Haussman architecture / building / restaurant / Le Dome, on Blvd Montparnasse, Paris

            Here is the first of three posts on this page.  See the detail and full view of the building (below) as well.  Le Dome is across the street from Le Select (uploaded yesterday) at the famous Blvd Montparnasse and Blvd Raspail intersection in the Left Bank.   

The reflections tell the story of the intersection if you look closely. Trees along the boulevard, and the rooftops and facades across the street.   All I can say is the current explosion in digital photography technology has brought to us all an entire world of possibilities, because our equipment, if carefully used, is just amazing.  This is taken with the Canon EOS 20D.  Late afternoon, rush hour.  I stood at the island in the middle of traffic for a half hour, waiting for the light to change, waiting for a gap in the crowds of people crossing the street .... but for such a gap I would have had to return at 5 AM when - it being February - it would still be dark.  :o(     
And who is going to leave the apartment to go take pictures before ones little cafe creme and croissants on a c-c-c-cold morning?!!  :o)

So this is the best I could do!!  I'm pretty happy with it, given especially that the reflections -- when the image was enlarged -- were a detailed world in themselves and a super bonus as far as I was concerned.  Thanks Canon for making such a great digital SLR!!!  =)

This is yet another of the new photos from my recent show posted to Flickr as the Set called "Historic Cafes of Paris".
