I don’t normally go out when a storm hits, but on that day the storm is receding and I thought I’d check out the shore.
Storm
Scaring pigeons
It doesn’t take much to scare pigeons. Even if it gets in the way of their lunch.
Inside Notre Dame
I took this photo a long time ago. I was attracted by the light on the ceiling and the giant window.
Recursive photo
The recursive aspect of the scene attracted me: taking the photo of a couple looking at a photo showing someone taking the photo of a group of people in front of another group having their photo taken.
Flat bottom boat on the Seine
I like the perspective of the wide angle lens. It stretches the boat that os already quite long. Traditionally, these boats transport coal, gravel, and stones up and down the river.
Shoes and cigarettes
I find sometimes weird what people abandon in the street. How can you abandon your shoes? Do you go home bare feet?
Looking at books
The Notre Dame in the background is pre-fire. The book sellers (“bouquinistes”) traditionally sell old second hand books and art.
Calife
The last time I was there, the boat had gone. I presume the parking spots are at a premium and there is fierce competition.
Aiming at the Eiffel Tower
You have to be there pretty early on a Sunday morning to see the place as quiet as this. I found the jet canons interesting and I liked the fact that they were aimed straight at the tower.
Sk8ter boi
The ability of humans to specialise in a specific skill always impresses me.
