Paris, New Year's Day - Montmartre 2








How this waiter managed to keep smiling while trying to get through to the outside tables without spilling a drop, I don't know, but I'm full of admiration!  One of the famous bookshops is 'The Monkey Who Can Read', next to Le Cadet.  You can see why the Commune of 1871 thought it might succeed here at the top of the hill, hard to reach with cannon fire, but it lasted only a few weeks.  Ann got out her fisheye lens to photograph the crowds and the church, then switched to tele for the athlete with the football on the precarious plinth, while I turned my fisheye to the spectators.  Ann is just below the right-hand cupola, to the left of the yellow-ochre coat.
