Pax

You know how they say Paris is the City of Lights?  That's because it lights up like a Christmas tree at night.  The view from the Seine, if you are ever so lucky to take a ride on a bateau mouche, is seriously dreamy.  It turns out that Manhattan has something to say about this.



The tip of Manhattan. From the water.
8:51 pm. Yesterday.

How peaceful the city appears from the water.  Its gentle twinkling speaks to the quiet intimacy that is possible, but easily lost, when you're caught up living deep inside this forest of lights.

  1. Gorgeous. The skyline never ceases to fill me with awe. Always a big reminder that yes, I do indeed live in one of the greatest cities in the world. That view will never get old.

    1. You should have seen the glow of the sunset! I wish I had a rooftop to watch it every summer night.
