All Signs Point to Paris

For some reason, when I got to Paris, I found myself taking pictures of the street signs there.  I don’t know why really….maybe it was for proof that I actually walked on the Champs-Élysées

Danjou

Or perhaps it was how pretty the signs look on the stone background…….

Foyatier

It could be that I liked how the shadow of the tree leaves danced upon the wall…

Amelie

Maybe I wanted to bike at warp speed down rue Saint Vincent like Amelie Poulin…..

Leandre_2

Or maybe Villa reminded me of Italy….

I know why I liked these..just look at the details on these signpost that announce the little walkways…

So I take pictures of street signs.  Some find it weird.  I am sure Parisians were looking at me rather strangely when I was snapping these!  Don’t get me wrong I do take other photos, but on this trip I took alot of street signs.  And I do ask myself..why these?  Why these signs and not the other 12,000 street signs in Paris.  I guess I will chalk it up to a feeling that I had when I saw the sign.  But I ask you…is it really that strange?  I am sure when you travel, each of you has something that you are drawn to or that you like taking pictures of… you look at your pictures and think, why was I drawn to taking pictures of ______.    Birds, sunsets, skyscrapers,dogs.  Everybody has something.   I am asking you to help me not feel so strange.  Tell me, what are some of the things that you take pictures of?  Why are you drawn to those particular things?
