Landscapes have been difficult this week--grey skies and limestone buildings do not make for great photographs.  Unlike summertime, there is about 10 minutes to play with the dusk sky.  It had just started to rain when this photograph was made.  A straight-up shot of the Seine, with the banks of the Île Saint-Louis visible.  We were standing on the Pont Lois-Philippe.

Not much to say about this photograph.  We were in the 16th Arrondissement, visiting Musée Marmottan Monet, which holds the largest collection of Monet paintings in the world, thanks in large part to Monet's last surviving son, who donated the paintings to the museum.
