Early in the New Year in every Commune (city, town or village) in France the Mayor will host a session for all its inhabitants. This is a very convivial and well supported event (think free aperitifs) where the Mayor explains what the Commune has achieved in the previous year and reveal the projects for the year ahead. It's a gathering of all and sundry. We see folk we haven't seen for months...or even since last year's V de M and new residents who haven't previously shown up on the radar.
Splendid opportunity for some people shots. I'd decided that 'in your face' in an enclosed space was on a hiding to nothing. Why not feet? No threat, no identity revealed...no brainer. Result...subjects' curiousity, compliance and amusement. Why not?!
My first impression was of an assortment of ages and types of people. I think this is a wonderful way to deliver the "state of the...commune" message. Since I know the mayor of my town, maybe I should suggest it!

Absolutely not! According to the oracle, aka Richard, those about me were watching...puzzled, bemused at a situation beyond their experience. It's not every day that you see a mad English woman photographing feet at the Mayor's New Year Reception. When I asked him if he'd taken a photo, the reply was, 'I was too busy trying to pretend I didn't know you!' You can't get the staff these days! Sigh.
Love that you got down to get this shot. Shoes are to some a statement. I think that it shows with the DocMartin's and the sparkle tights. Wonderful. Fav!

Thank one and all for fun and/or appreciative comments. Could this Floor Show be an additional feature for the Vœux de Maire 2018?
