Amish women (Weekend Street/Reflections # 216)

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I see an enigmatic smile on the middle woman's face.  However, when I focus on her eyes or mouth in isolation I don't see it anymore. 

                                            Have a great weekend!

Perspective (Weekend Street/Reflections # 215)

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I took this picture through a clear plastic cup while sitting in a café-pâtisserie in Philadelphia. The man seemed isolated, trapped and tiny in a Kafkaesque way.

El Chapo? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 214)

 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Several years ago, while walking around Philadelphia, I was startled by a man popping out of a hole in the street.  It was during the time that Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" was on the run after escaping from prison via a vast tunnel network. The scene seemed unusual and funny as I took his picture and said, "I found El Chapo!" I don't think the man saw the humor but it made me laugh.😀

If you don't remember or haven't heard about it, here's a news article about "El Chapo." Click

Chinatown (Weekend Street/Reflections # 213)


 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

What were they saying to each other? 

Maybe, "Hey bro where did you get those giant cherries?" or "This isn't watermelon street"

They were speaking Chinese so I'll never know.

A point of clarity; the man was carrying two watermelons in a cherry box on Cherry Street.😆

An accident waiting to happen? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 212)


 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Several years ago I quickly snapped this shot as I walked by. The man was struggling with the steps so I walked back to see if he needed help. Surprisingly after the slow start he finished with much more confidence and agility.

                                            Have a great weekend!💖

Jeux d'espions (Weekend Street/Reflections # 211)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

He seemed like a mysterious man of intrigue. When he turned the corner he probably tossed the phone and hat and put on a fake mustache.😉

Chariot à glaces (Weekend Street/Reflections # 210)


 Nice, France

They say ice cream can make you smile because it activates the brain's pleasure centers, releasing chemicals that make you feel happy. It can also evoke positive memories and feelings of nostalgia.

I think it only applies to eating it, not serving it. 😏

Attention à l'ours ! (Weekend Street/Reflections # 209)

 

Paris, France

The bear startled me and I startled the woman. 😃

A rare uncrowded area of le marché de Noël des Tuileries. (The Christmas market in Tuileries Garden.)

Night Tram (Weekend Street/Reflections # 208)

 

Nice, France

Three people waiting for the tram at Port Lympia. The one whose bag can be seen sticking out from the shelter can also be seen in a reflected silhouette on the side of the train.

Improvisation ? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 207)

 

Paris, France

I couldn't figure out why she stood there holding a box over her head. Then I made myself laugh when I thought maybe she had forgotten her umbrella and wanted to be prepared for the inevitable rain.

I saw buildings reflected in a car window while walking around Port Lympia in Nice.

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. 😍
