Theme day: action photo!


As PhotoRiga pointed out a couple of days ago, I should have kept the skateboard photo for today's theme day: action! Fortunately I had taken another one that matches theme day last Sunday on the occasion of the 10 km of Paris 9, a small marathon organized by the town hall of my arrondissement ;-) Nothing extraordinary, but at least, I can participate in this CDP monthly catharsis!

  1. Yes, I thought that too, Eric, when I saw your skateboard photo. But this one is a worthy participant as well.

  2. It's a brilliant shot Eric, when you pull it in close there's so much more to see.

  3. Meant to say it reminded me a little of a modern day Doisneau image.

  5. I love the B&W view down the street and the blurred runners in the foregroung. This is a perfect slice of Paris.

  7. So cool! Looks like a shot from the 50's in black and white...

    I would love to be a runner, but so far..I can only manage a mile or two. Bravo to them!

  8. I agree—it's a great shot, Eric. And it illustrates the only excuse for wearing running shoes in Paris. :~}

  9. Eric, I almost had a heart attack this a.m. when I awoke and learned about some idea to turn the Eiffel Tower into a living 'tree' with 378 tons of plants .... After seeing your post yesterday with the artist's "nature-takeover" photos, I'm getting paranoid. Don't want anything done to change the Eiffel:)
