Very good friends of mine (one is a frequent commenter to PDP...) gathered some friends to celebrate their Pacs (Civil Union) yesterday evening and they did it at the Okay Café, a very nice restaurant located 41 Quai de Loire and overlooking the Canal de la Vilette. So not only can you enjoy a nice drink outside by the water, but on top of that you get to have dinner inside with a view over the canal (see this other photo I took). Pretty cool place I must say... You feel like you're in Venice or Amsterdam but not really Paris! They also have a "recreation" room in which they have this cool zebra!
Brilliant picture with very interesting shadow.
ReplyDeleteMoi, je donne ma langue au zèbre ... ;)
ReplyDeleteShadows and light; stripes of black and white.
ReplyDeleteI’d like to say that this photo is great, but you know, it’s just OKAY. Ha ha.
If Renoir where to paint this scene, he'd call it The Illumination of the Striped Ass.
ReplyDelete*were not where
ReplyDeleteVenice? Amsterdam? I thought we were in South Africa!
ReplyDeleteIt's very World "Cupish"
;)
Parisian zebras?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...interesting.
Hmmmm...pensive zebra torn between two options: to go or not to go.
ReplyDeleteBut what "recreation" do you have with a zebra?
ReplyDeleteOMG, a recreation "Room with a Riew" of a zebra's butt! I don't think I will be making reservations for parties there. :)
ReplyDeletecorrection: "Room with a View" but you probably guessed that.
ReplyDeleteCool! Looks like a nice place for a happy occasion. Was the zebra leaving because he felt he was underdressed for the festivities?
ReplyDeleteAh,we walked by this when Katia gave me a walking tour of the Villette area. I didn't know there was a zebra's ass inside. Surely, I would have wanted to visit. (???)
ReplyDeleteBut, congratulations on the celebration of the unions. For people of any stripe, it is a good thing to celebrate.
Okay Cafe? It sounds like it belongs on a dude ranch...*giggle*
ReplyDeleteBilly B cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteI love this shot. The light from the window..........very nice , well maybe just Okay! :)
I love the pops of color one notices after seeing the great shadow stripes on zebra stripes in window light. This place sounds charming. Congrats to your friends and much happiness to them. And Tall Gary, you crack me up.
