Un mélange...
café scene, an American newspaper, a zinc bar,
three people who did not show their faces,
and one photographer who did.
Do you think they were hiding from me?

It's hard to say..The woman looks as though she may be getting a headache. She looks how I feel somedays! HAH!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
i have to agree with Kristie, I feel the same way and it's been really hot here today so I'd be hiding from anyone with a camera!! Terrific capture for the day, Genie! I love it! Hope you have a lovely weekend! Enjoy!!

Hello Genie:
ReplyDeleteWe doubt very much that they were hiding from you, just simple involved, as we should say, in 'affairs of state'.
No , they're not hiding. They're resting after a hard walk or hard day, happy to be sitting at last..
ReplyDeleteThe do, indeed, look like they have had a long day. Now you're going to tell us you took this pic at 10:00 a.m. But some people can have a very long day between eight and ten in the morning. Or midnight and eight.
ReplyDeleteNo, not hiding, you took just the best position for your pic! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteRegards and nice weekend!
Love the composition ... and seeing your pink jacket and the Bagalini brings back memories and makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteAbsorbed in their own worlds they may not notice you,even in your colourful attire. They might however be escaping the outside chill!
ReplyDeleteHappy weeked!

I think she's having trouble deciding which bière to order! :)
ReplyDeleteV
I see the empty chairs outside and the chairs in use inside... So it's winter in Paris... ;)
ReplyDeleteI think that she is reacting to what is being read to her from the newspaper. Something like senior benefits to be cut!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've given us all food for thought with this one, Genie!
ReplyDeleteThe only one possibly hiding would be the person on the left. But he/she looks more like he/she is in pain.
ReplyDeleteI think they were hiding from you Genie particularly he person with her head in her hands.
ReplyDeleteVery nice capture. I wonder what they are talking about.
ReplyDeleteLove reading your comments. In reconstructing the scene, it was taken early morning (around 8am) so they may have had a long night. Although they have on coats, it was the third week of April and quite seasonably warm. There was enough of a chill in the early morning air that most café customers were inside.
ReplyDeleteI assumed that they were Parisians, but seeing the Herald Tribune I have reconsidered.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Bises,
Genie
c'est le petit chaperon rouge qui a pris cette photo
ReplyDeletehee hee...
ReplyDeleteNeat capture for Weekend Reflections, Genie!
American tourists in Paris after a late night! I'd like to be sitting in a cafe in Paris after a late night Genie, how fab would that be. I wonder when you click on the link you've given here, it asks if you are 18yrs old, is that because the content is about alcohol Genie?
ReplyDeleteNeat capture! Maybe the woman is on vacation and she's spending way more money than she planned for. :)
