Seine bridges - more night shots

Referring to my post last Friday with night shots of Paris Seine bridges, I promised some more, weather permitting. The weather last weekend was excellent - full summer, so here are some more! These bridges are the ones linking Ile de la Cité and Ile Saint Louis with the right and left Seine banks (plus one between the two islands).

Some of these are among the oldest and perhaps the most romantic in Paris. Unfortunately for a night photographer, they are not all so well lit up, so in some cases I had to wait for some of the river cruising boats and their floodlighting to get some of my photos.

I concentrated a bit on the Pont Neuf (also the photo on the top), the oldest, early 17^th century bridge, which fortunately is well lit up!

As said, it was a real summer night, and the banks were crowded with people, dining, singing...

For more details about these bridges, please refer to my previous daylight Paris Seine Bridges posts.

I wish you a nice weekend!

Seine bridges - night shots

My two last posts have been a bit long to read. So, as a compensation, here is one with basically photos only.

Some ten months ago I made a number of posts on the Paris Seine bridges, with all photos taken daytime. I thought I could complete this by some night shots.

Some bridges are more or less illuminated and some are quite spectacular when the daylight is gone.

I made a tour along the Seine the other night going upstream. I took photos of some 15 bridges. I concentrated maybe on the Pont Alexandre III (also on the top photo).

Here is a small collection, more or less in order, going up the river. In some cases I took also pictures of the immediate surroundings, like of Place de la Concorde, of Grand Palais...

When I reached Pont des Arts, I gave up with a last shot of the next bridge, Pont Neuf, which may be part of a series of the remaining bridges; one night, when the weather is nice, I will continue the tour.

I wish you a nice weekend!
