La patineuse artistique



In the bright midday sun of a winter day,
the ice skaters moved around the temporary ice rink 
in front of Hôtel de Ville. 


This young woman was in a world of her own
as she gracefully made her turns, jumps and spins.

    I have been off the blog map for a while...

    As said above, this is a beautiful shot.

    Is that skating rink still up?

    I like it so much...! In her own inner lake, she reminded me The Lake of Swans !
    Thank you Genie... for keeping high your flight !

    Nice capture, Genie. The skaters who become competitive must devote untold hours to their craft. Let's imagine that we will see this young woman at perhaps the 2020 Olympics.
