Nadia
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...
But this guy grabbed my attention as rather poignant. Standing
alone, or possibly with some embarrassed friends nearby,
forlornly Waiting For Nadia. I never discovered if he found her
or not, but I hope he did. I'm not sure if any Nadia would have
done of if it had to be a specific and special Nadia he was on
the lookout for.
The angel is also curiously holding his arm aloft, although he's
probably alluding to something much weightier than missing
meetings. Maybe Nadia's up there... |
