Yesterday it was all bright and shiny, today it's all about darkness and night.

As the days get shorter - sunlight wise - and the nights are longer, picture taking
will happen, more often than not, in the dark with man-made illumination as your only light source.

I like snapping pics without a flash at night because of the surprisingly, ethereal quality
you can get in a photo. Plus a little giggle of the camera can produce some interesting results as well.

Of course you couldn't ask for a better subject than Notre Dame when creating a rather
ephemeral image.

And, if you're heading to Paris any time soon, or live there, this article from the NY Times
is a must read:

Liberty, Equality, Gastronomy: Paris via a 19th-Century Guide

Bon appétit!
