Nice pictures. I really prefer Paris in the winter. I was living in central Paris this past spring/summer, and as nice as it was, I still prefer winter.

Nice spot, Kangaroo Point?

The lights on "The Square" in my little town:

They still call it the square though for some unknown reason they made it into a traffic circle several years ago. About twice a year they have to write an article in the paper on how to navigate a traffic circle :winkwink:

Christmas in the town I grew up in. We have plenty of snow.

Looks gorgeous, where are you based?

now that's a small town American Christmas postcard setting.

Stowe Vermont the filename says.

How did you get the movement on the cars and also some still in the background? Is it two exposures?

It looks to me like they drove up and stopped.

Spot on, traffic there is nuts, even at 2am :)

Won't be the first or last to say it, but I hope everyone has a relaxing christmas, and takes the time to spend it with family and friends :)

I'm curious as to how you ended up in Paris? I'd love to live in a foreign country. Are you an Australian who is just staying in Paris for a while? Or did you permanently move there? And was getting a visa to stay a while easy?

those are some pretty pixs, very nice ")

I'm an Australian living semi-permanently in Paris.
I say 'semi' permanently, as there are a few strange nuances to France.
Getting a 'carte de sejour' [Essentially, a work / living card] is routine if you're studying or employed in France, but France does not recognise, or easily recognise the 'self-employed' situation, and thus getting residancy based off that becomes difficult.

It took me a few months to get a visa, like most long stay visas, then I packed a suitcase and arrived. Depending on where you are and how old you are, getting a 12 month with work visa can be a 5 day affair or a 6 month affair.

Alternatively, if you travel often, or are willing to travel to a non-schengen country every 3 months, you can simply renew your tourist visa and not have any concerns or worries.

wow some amazing pics

Awesome looking pics

I grew up in Northfield, Vt and my future husband is from Stowe, VT...

Merry Xmas
