Meet Marie & Raymond; they first saw each on the banks of the Seine 15 years ago. Marie was young and Raymond bereft having lost too many dear to him. They shared their past, their stories their souls before parting returning to their regular lives. Raymond often visited the graffitied wall where they first met but this time it was different. Looking directly at him was Marie as beautiful as she was all those years ago.
Great with never any concerns over PDA. That's why we like Paree in the springtime or for that matter ev'ry moment of the year... et comme toujour, merci Madame!
Joe, you are definitely my romance writer - fabulous!
brattcat, thank you for the haiku, 5-7-5
Halcyon, I do have a telephoto lens but mostly I shoot quickly and sometimes miss. This shot was actually taken with a point in shoot as my Nikon broke on my last day in Paris. The point and shoot could be my "undercover camera" but it is bright orange and not a wise color choice!
Peter, I will be sending you the bribe money soon. Do you want that in Euros or dollars? hehehe
There is an openness in Paris and no one pays much attention to the couples in love... so great for a photographer...
Ah, the perfect capture of Paris!! Yes, I'd like to know their story, too! Terrific capture, Genie! Bravo! Have a wonderful evening, mon amie!

Sweet capture.
ReplyDeleteWhat if they're married, but not together?.. :o)
ReplyDeleteHow not to think about Doisneau?..

I recently took a photo of another nice lady kissing - her husband! Not pulbished - yet! :-)
ReplyDeleteAin't love grand...especially in Paris!

The photo is a story unto itself! Married couples can still be lovers, n'est pas?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the story is behind this photo but I sure would like to know!

ReplyDeleteet comme toujour, merci Madame!
oh, but we all have a story for that photo dear genie ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific—but I want to see the photo Peter took!
ReplyDelete(BTW, I have a poem in my pocket today; it's Balade des Dames du Temps Jadis, by François Villon!)
This almost looks like Lisa and Georges (friends in Montmartre).
ReplyDeleteDo you have a long lens? I would feel too embarrassed to shoot something like this. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely spring in Paris.

Good one...and I like that they're an older couple in love, illicit or not!
ReplyDeleteNot only the City of Lights--but Love is all around.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! love! Quintessential Paris!
ReplyDeleteYou don't need a story; the kiss itself speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...
ReplyDeletePerhaps they're advertising models for the older version of Match.com!!!!
Warms my heart to see romance -- but, I hope they were not just tourists --lol--
