Rain Gives Solitude to a Pont Neuf Stroller John Brody Photography

A Little Rain Gives Solitude To A Stroller - At Pont Neuf Bridge, an area usually swarming with people.

After snapping this photo, I went over and talked to the gentleman for a few minutes. He told me that he preferred to take his walks in the rain because the crowds disappear and the air is rain washed and pleasant. He gave me his information and I sent him a copy of the image after I got home. The photo makes me want to go back again...

Riverfront Walkway Again Vacant From Rain

As noted in the prior 'Umbrella Man' photo post, the rain causes a transformation of the area. From a cacophony of noise and a swarm of people to a quiet and empty architectural display, the change is sudden and complete. As many know, this is the bridge wrapped in fabric by Christo and Jeane Claude.
