Une pause
A pause under the trees in the evening light last week on Avenue de Paris with the king's big stables (the building on the right) and the North wing of the palace in the background. Some of you seemed surprised that I am reluctant to post photos of people. Actually, as you can see here, I sometimes do but from afar or with blurred faces. European privacy/image laws actually forbid publishing photos of people without their consent. Hence all of the problems companies like Google and FB encounter on this side of the big pond where privacy is sacred!Sur l'avenue de Paris la semaine passée, dans la lumière du soir, avec les grandes écuries du roi à droite et le l'aile du Nord du château en arrière plan.

September City Daily Photo Theme Day: people watching
Those of you who have been following VDP know I am reluctant to photograph people. Also, I did not have time to go out for a photographic walk. So what you are looking at is the man who has been people watching for a long, long time. He watches millions walk by him every year. Yes, it's the statue of Louis XIV which I have shown you in detail here and here. To see more theme day interpretations, check Julie's Theme Day blog. It's this way. Happy September ladies and gents!Ceux qui me font l'honneur de suivre VDP savent que je n'aime pas trop photographier les gens. De plus, je n'ai pas eu le temps de m'adonner à des promenades photographiques ces derniers temps. Donc ce que vous voyez ici, c'est Louis XIV. Il regarde passer des millions de gens chaque année ! Pour les détails de la statue, c'est par ici et ici. Pour voir d'autres interprétations du thème du premier du mois, c'est sur le blog de Julie. Bon mois de septembre à toutes et tous !
