It is at this moment, when the beautiful Notre Dame is burning, that I realize how much Paris means to me. It is the city where I grew up, and with all that has happened since then, now that I am in my golden years, I still love it, almost like a lover. I wrote about Paris in a previous post: Paris Mon Amour, when I revisited the city a few years ago.
Here, I am posting a beautiful tribute to the city of love, a series of photographs taken by my mother Ata Kando. No words can equal what she was able to express through these unbelievable images. She says it all, all that I miss, admire and love about Paris. It is still as beautiful as ever. The Notre Dame fire is a tragedy, it feels like a part of history itself has burnt down, but Paris will survive this, as she has done so many times throughout history.

Thank you, Madeleine, for the nice pictures your mother Ata created in Paris.
When you see them, you feel at home in the town that lost temporarily its centre.
Best wishes,
I love this writing!
Hi Madeleine. Thanks for sharing the photos. It created a wave of nostalgia in me.
It felt like coming home for a few moments.
Love,
Paul
