Pourquoi il ne trouve pas preneur ce pauvre p'tit vélib ? Tous ces frères et soeurs ont déjà été adoptés et lui il se trouve seul à greloter dans le froid et sous la pluie.
Je ne sais pas vraiment pourquoi mais il y a un côté maritime dans ce cliché urbain ! Encore une fois ce n&b saturé et ce grain font merveille !

Excellente image N&B, belle ambiance de pluie, on n'a pas envie de sortir par un temps pareil! Chez nous c'est une immense ciel bleu et un beau soleil qui fait scintiller la neige! ;-)

@mo.langel: S'il te plaît, profites-en (pour moi aussi)... Le manque de lumière ici, c'est dix mois sur douze :( (heureusement qu'il reste la nuit et les lampadaires de la Ville de Paris ;-)

Loving this whole package. The story it is telling me of the poor bike standing at the ready for it's master when the rain lets up. Ever vigilant and obedient as if saying, "I can take it, yes I can. Wonderful observation and well composed.

It's so much fun reading all of the various comments ... now it's a challenge to say something unique! :D
I like the bike 'stands' (for lack of a proper name) and do you mean to tell me it RAINS? in Paris ... Naw, can't be! Someone's gonna' have a wet seat!
13 Dec 2008 6:59pm
@Alun Lambert: Really ?? Mhh, seems you didn't see enough on Am3 today, believe me ;o) (and a big thks* for visiting back... yard :o))
