Opposites in Paris. Old and Young. Hard and Soft. Famous and Anonymous. French and Australian. Austere and Gentle.

This is one of my favourite photos. A teenage girl goes to Paris and things will never be the same again.
For the weekend Daily Post prompt, opposites.

When we look back on our lives, even at a relatively young age, it is interesting to recognise the seminal moments that changed the perception of our world. I have a photo of our daughter walking along the River Seine and it represents one such moment in her life, to me. Though I imagine she might see it differently. It is a very lovely photo Francesca, so nice that you had that experience with her.

My granddaughter, needed a big change- she was struggling with sleep, waking up for school and so on. So we took her away for 6 weeks, away from school, away from everything familiar in her life. I think it helped.

We have about 90 days until we are in Paris for a few days. Too much to see in such a short time…

It was a wonderful trip Gerlinde- her face lit up when she saw all the famous sites but it was hard work getting her to speak French.

Hehe, I have one of those too, if 21 counts as a new teenage 😀 It was my first time abroad without my parents and things could hardly be the same again after that. First photo in this post.
