Un Garçon et son Train Imaginaire

Paris, France

Welcome to the adventures of little Alexandre Legris and his train Monsieur  Charbon. Mr Charbon is fueled by imagination  and Alexandre has lots of it. Today they're probably off to solve a mystery of some sort.

Alexandre had likely just stepped from the doorway of Musée de Montmartre. Wonderful scene and setting, James.

An evocative 'Parisian' shot. The sepia effect works on this, usually people overdo it; nice one.

Names of characters and the whole scenery let think of a novel from the beginning of XXth century..are you the reincarnation of a kids books writer?! :o)

I love how you explore new terrain. This is so well done as regards childhood, fairy tales, magic and whimsy. I love the warm tones too. They underscore the message beautifully. An extremely unique image!

Hello, James

A lyrical back figure.
The color to give the whole expresses the atmosphere still more attractively.

Have a good weekend.
