Paris

BY Tierney Farrell
Paris was arguably my favorite city that Natasha and I went to.  I was surprised to find it much like New York in its artistic and rugged culture.  Bicyclists and cigarette butts may outnumber even the pigeons. Paris holds a key to the wonders of some of the most iconic artists in history -- from genius works at the Louvre to the stories kept alive for centuries on the cobblestone streets on which some artists were bred.  I had never been so awestruck by a work of art that I was brought to tears until I saw the Winged Victory at Samothrace at the Louvre.  It was the most stunning sculpture I'd ever seen -- I felt so overpowered, and even submissive, simply by the majestic strength that the figure exuded.   paris-1 paris-2 paris-3 paris-5 paris-6 paris-7 paris-8 paris-9 paris-10 paris-11 paris-12 paris-13 paris-14 paris-15 paris-16 paris-17 paris-18 paris-19 paris-20 paris-21 paris-22 paris-23 paris-24 paris-25 paris-26 paris-27 paris-28 paris-29 paris-30 paris-31 paris-32 paris-33paris3-1 paris-34 paris-35 paris2-1paris-37 paris-38 paris-39 paris-40 paris-41 paris-42 paris-43 paris-44 paris-45 paris-46 paris-47 paris-48 paris-49 paris-50 paris-51 paris-52 paris-53 paris-54 paris-55 paris-56 paris-57 paris-58 paris-59 paris-60 paris-61 paris-62 paris-63 paris-64 paris-65 paris-66 paris-67 Tags:
