The fountain at St. Michel is a classic Parisian meeting place and is always thronging with people in more or less agitated states of impatience, unless they are simply snap-happy tourists taking the same old pics in front of the same old angel...
On a photo tour between the Louvre and Palais Royale we came across this silent spectacle, as one is wont to do, albeit accompanied by haunting music and entrancing movement. I was trying to demonstrate the importance of controlling the depth of field, and this street artist illustrated it nicely.
Hey! New Parisian pastime. Forget the bus that never comes... now we have the sadly forlorn bikestop, denuded of vélos by virtuous demoiselles, leaving the unlucky to linger... and wait.
Ahhh, students. Doncha jus' luvvem? Recognise the building? A very famous one in Paris I'll have you know. It's the striking Bercy happening place where they have all sorts of weird and wonderful events from show jumping to skateboarding and ski jumping plus the odd concert or two I believe.

The weary ride home, evening paper on the lap, baguette in hand or simply vacantness in the eye, it's a familiar story.
