Visiting Montmartre

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Montmartre, Paris, France.
Montmartre is one of Paris most visited places, loved by many tourists for it's pitoresque romantic streets and the Sacre Coeur Basilica.
Montmarte means 'mountain of the martyr'; it owes its name to the martyrdom of Saint Denis, who was decapitated on the hill around 250 AD. Saint Denis was the Bishop of Paris and is the patron saint of France.
Montmartre is a hill 130 metres high, in the north of Paris in the 18th arrondissement, a part of the Right Bank, primarily known for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur on its summit and as a nightclub district. The other, older, church on the hill is Saint Pierre de Montmartre, which claims to be the location at which the Jesuit order of priests was founded. Many artists had studios or worked around the community of Montmartre such as Salvador Dalí, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh. |

Olá!
Gosto dessa foto.
Tem um ar de antigo que lhe fica muito bem.
Talvez lhe desse mais alguma nitidez.

Looks like a step back in time.. too bad the clothes give it away :-) But great composition and lines guiding the eyes through the shot.
