Île Saint-Louis sous la Pluie

Paris, France

More rain and more Paris this week. I wonder what these young ladies were talking about as they walked huddled together under their umbrella?


I'm submitting this post to The Weekend in Black and White.

I imagine they were lamenting that on such a wet rainy day it was just no good for going to Berthillon to get some ice cream...

Despite the rainy weather, I love the way this image glows! Those tabletops leading into the distance seem to carry with them some sort of message into the future...

That looks SO wet! Decidedly not the kind of weather for walking places - I like to be warm and dry :)

Fantastic shot. I love the way the rain makes everything seem to glow!

awarewriter said...

I'd call this one dreamy James. I mean that in a good sense. Rain seems to soften the world. This is an excellent street shot.
