Paris; No Snowfall in 2011-12

Paris - known city of lights and love - had not seen snow fall in this year!

As a resident of Paris for last 4 years, it had been the first time that there had not been any snowfall in Paris. It is the 14th of January, and still there is no sign of snowfall. I am really missing the scene of white flakes of the snow coming down on the streets of Paris.

However, the good thing is that weather is quite pleasant. We are in winters, but the good thing is that it is not too cold. The temprature is - most of the times - above the 0.

Is it because of the 'global warming' or the weather changes?
It is not easy to answer!

Pictures of La Defense Area, Business Capital Of Paris ( France )

The other day, I happened to visit La Defense, the business capital of Paris, by the evening. It was about 16h00, and lots of people were returning home after a tiresome days at their desks, in offices situated in skyscrapers of La Defense.

I had a little free time, so I decided to capture the beauty of La Defense in my camera to share it with the readers of my blogs.
