Gare de l'Est
Have you ever noticed the people running in train stations?
It is no different in Paris as we see these passengers hurrying off a train.
I have done the same myself, hurrying to catch a train
in Madrid, in Prague, in Vienna, in Milan... and even in Paris.
Why would one need to run
with sufficient planning of schedules and locations?
Well, for one, it is never a simple matter
to find the correct window for ticket sales.
Buying tickets on-line in advance will reduce the stress.
Perhaps you will have time to sit in the station
and photograph others who did not plan as well. Hummmm...

I don't run for trains any more Genie. There's always another one coming along the tracks.
Great motion in this image!

Train stations are a wonderful "people watching station!" and it's funny how we automatically run, even if we're on time! The thought of a train just means, "DÊPECHEZ-VOUS!"
Merci Genie, for coming by to visit the white horses! Much love, Anita
Love the movement of the feet! Yesterday's view is fantastic!!!
Well, this brings back memories of Paris. I was very happy there, every one was lovely to me.
I was alone and I remember asking a young man in French (TEXAS french)
*where is la gare) He laughed and said, "You was asking where is the WAR!"

Sorry,,
It was-"You are asking,
Where is the War."
I am having trouble with my
arthritis in the fingers, OR,
maybe senility..??
Ah! Good planning brings good photos! I like it!
For peace of mind, my grandmother would get to the train station about two hours early. (I believe I inherited that gene.) You really captured the ambience of the station, Genie.
Same in airports, except there you also have the uncertainty of how slow the security checkpoint is.
Although the trains run pretty much on schedule in Europe, it's not always perfect!
Love the action and the colours. Have a great day Diane
Great shot, Genie :^)
