1, 2, 3... go!

Monday I almost hated Paris, now I love it again. I had a wonderful stroll and made lots of photos today including two young guys at the Trocadero who left me photograph them for the theme of the week. Additional photos of their jumps here: http://tinyurl.com/2ud587l
(Of course there is no editing on the pictures).
