His and Mine, He and Her... something like that: Paris Edition

This post had been far too much fun for me to put together it has to be said, but here are our 'his and hers' photos of Paris's various monuments and details. As we were always together there are a lot of photos of the same thing but they still give such a different perspective of how we both look at things.

Thomas's photos are on the left and mine are on the right.


A mandatory action shot to start...


"How rude..."


The Arc de Triomphe


A space invader...


The beautiful lamps around the city.


The amazing Metropolitain signs


The Autumn leaves...

and just the once - we took almost exactly the same photo... I actually thought we would have had more similar ones but I think we both tried very hard not to take the same photos as each other.

Thank you Paris for being the best location for a week long photography date!

Along the River Seine...

Both Thomas and I thought that our evening up the Eiffel Tower would be pretty hard to beat... we were wrong.

The next evening we decided to take a boat journey along the River Seine to relax and take in Paris from a different point of view. What we didn't expect was one of the most beautiful sunsets either of us have ever seen.

Isn't it dramatic how much the sky changed over the space of an hour! I love the contrast between the first and last photo of the Eiffel Tower.

Unfortunately it wasn't really light enough for my cameras to capture the sunset for long but the digital camera was perfect and Thomas caught the light so well (these are unedited btw). I also got to sit and enjoy the ride for the hour which I can't really complain about can I?

p.s. Thomas actually managed to take over 200 photos in that hour, narrowing it down to these was pretty hard!

Up the Eiffel Tower...

Eeeeeeeee! We went up the Eiffel Tower! At night! To the top!

Needless to say, I was very excited about this and I still am. We hadn't planned to climb the tower on the Monday night, just visit it and have a look around the river, but there were hardly any queues to go up so we rather impulsively decided to just do it even though the top floor was closed. We queued for about 10-15 minutes I would say and then, as we got to the window to buy our tickets, the top was opened! HUZZAH!
(The nice French man said it was just for me... I believed him.)

It has to be said, Thomas was my hero that night - he doesn't like heights and he was rather uncertain at the top, but he went all the way up, he looked around and he even took photos. I'm not bothered by heights so I was practically bouncing around everywhere being generally over excited and he put up with that too.
(in fact he puts up with that most of the time, haha)







The first time I looked at these once we got back to England, I cried. I couldn't believe we'd really been there, looking at the most amazing views and taking in every that Paris at night had to offer. The photos don't really do it justice, it was stunning and a massive highlight of our visit. I want to go back.
