As we sit at the table, doing our work, finishing up hotel arrangements for Europe next year, it has been raining cats and dogs, sometimes even dinosaurs and elephants. I was reminded by a recent comment on my original Blue Skies, Who Needs’em blog that inclement weather can make for some amazing images. This one is a case in point, and it is one of my all-time favorites. I never tire of looking at it.
Paris, Day 08
It is always with nostalgia and more than a little sadness that we spend our last day in Paris, and in Europe for our visits each year. We have met so many wonderful people, reconnected with old friends, enjoyed the company of participants new and returning and watched them grow as photographers, and enjoyed fabulous food and wine.
Paris 2013, Day 07
Following our normal modus operendi, we walked the short distance to the corner for breakfast. In the window, I saw a gentleman with whom I had enjoyed a conversation the other day. He beckoned us in, and we met his wife and chatted about art, photography, and their upcoming move to Berlin where prices, we are told are half those in Paris.
We said we were looking for another neighborhood market, and they told us of one ten or so minutes away. Cards were exchanged and arrangements made to keep in touch and hopefully get together before we left Paris.
