Une vitrine pas comme les autres (Weekend Street/Reflections #140)

 

Paris, France

I've seen lots of interesting window displays during the Christmas season, but this was one of the most unusual.  Or so I thought until I realized he was a worker cleaning off the 2014 display to prepare for the approaching new year.

                                            Have a great weekend!

The Happy Rooster (Weekend Street/Reflections # 139)

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I just realized that I did the first Weekend Reflections post on September 25, 2009 (14 years ago). Coincidentally, the first Weekend Reflections picture was also taken in Philadelphia. It's been fun seeing your reflections and street photos over the years. Thanks!

 Can you remember where you were and what you were doing at the end of September 2009?

I was living in Newtown, Pennsylvania, and planning a trip to Munich and Salzburg. 

                                             Have a great weekend!

Food cart noir (Weekend Street/Reflections # 138)

 

New York City

Two guys getting a late-night snack in NYC.  The guy on the right reminded me of Robert Mitchum, circa 1940s. If only he were a little taller and wearing a suit and a fedora. 😊

Taking a break (Weekend Street/Reflections # 137)

 Newport Beach, California

One night while walking around the fun zone I "spied" a cook taking a break at the Harborside restaurant in the Balboa Pavillion. I took the shot through a circular feature on a metal fence. It kind of looks like the view from a spyglass, which fits the nautical theme of the area.

Venice at night (Weekend Street/Reflections # 134)

Secret Agent Man (Weekend Street/Reflections #132)

 

Florence, Italy

I'm not sure why but this guy reminded me of the old song by Johnny Rivers called Secret Agent Man.😄

Tourists at night (Weekend Street/Reflections # 128)

 

Florence, Italy

There are so many amazing things to see in Florence. This couple is sitting beneath the Column of Justice in the Piazza di Santa Trinita. I'm pretty sure the man was looking at the Basilica di Santa Trinita.

Tous Les Jours Bistrot (Weekend Street/Reflections # 110)

 

Lyon, France

A quiet evening inside Café Mercière. 

A l'angle des rues Mercière et Ferrandière. In "Les Cordeliers", one of the central quarters in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon.

La ragnatela (Weekend Street/Reflections # 105)

 Rome, Italy

This doorway reminded me of a spiderweb. Ragnatela is the Italian word for spiderweb.

Alone in a crowd (Weekend Street/Reflections # 101)

 

Rome, Italy

The woman in the middle of the crowd was staring at something above. Probably a beautiful old building. I was waiting for her to say, "Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!"😁

                                                 Happy New Year!

Praying for pizza? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 99)

 

Venice, Italy

The first time I walked by this window neither one of them had food, a few minutes later I noticed the woman was eating and the man looked like he was praying.

Have a good weekend!

A Lonely Dinner (Weekend Street/Reflections # 97)

 Venice, Italy

While walking in a particularly dark area in Venice, I turned a corner and saw this man sitting alone at a table in a restaurant. Coincidentally I took this picture exactly eight years ago, on December 2, 2014. It was during a wonderful trip to London, Florence, Venice, and Paris.

London Calling (Weekend Street/Reflections # 93)

 

London, England

The man was on Great George Street walking toward Westminster Bridge. 

The phone box reminded me of the title track of an album I had when I was in high school.

It's also the title of this post.😄    

                                                                                    London Calling by The Clash (1979)

La Pluie (Weekend Street/Reflections # 86)

 Paris, France

"Tombe tombe tombe la pluie

Le ciel est gris la pluie s'invite comme par surprise

elle est chez nous et comme un rite qui nous enlise

les parapluies s'ouvrent en cadence

comme une danse,

les gouttes tombent en abondance

sur douce France."

Night Rider (Weekend Street/Reflections # 81)

 Florence, Italy

Watch out for fast bikes in Florence.

I've been hit by a bike twice, both in Florence. One time was my fault, and the other was the bike rider's fault. Both times were painful, but thankfully no lasting damage.

                                           Have a nice weekend!

NYC Jazz (Weekend Street/Reflections # 78)

Cool jazz on a cold night. 

I don't remember what he was playing but it was probably something like this.

A man sleeping on a train. I hope he didn't miss his stop.😄
