Quai de Jemmapes - la petite fille



I caught her running along Canal Saint-Martin, full of energy and light on her feet...

I am running with her spirit into a delightfully long holiday weekend!  Join me!


bon weekend!

    Well, I may not, probably not light on my feet and lacking in energy, but I can definitely run with her spirit -- and yours, mon amie! Do have a beautiful holiday weekend!

    Hugs
    Sylvia

    Je trouve fascinant cette photo avec ce merveilleux mouvement et la boule du portail qui se situe juste au-dessus de son bras et qu'on pourrait assimiler à un ballon... Intéressant.
    Gros bisous
    Je vous souhaite une très bon et intense week-end.
    Merci pour votre très gentil commentaire.

    Sometimes I think that Paris only should be photographed in B and W, never in colors.

    Hello Genie:
    This is indeed a superb image and one which confirms that so very often black and white photography can, and does, steal a march on colour.

    What is so appealing here is the look of determination which we glimpse on the face combined with a steadfast expression. Wonderful.

    We very much hope that you will have a really enjoyable and restful weekend.
