Great reflections. Good people opportunities with umbrellas, etc. Sitting at sidewalk cafés with practiced indifference watching pedestrians scurry. People sipping café at le comptoir. Bistro lights reflecting. Place St. Sulpice with the fountain reflecting off the wet pavement. Keep the camera under your impermeable and pull it out as you need it. - -- Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/
