I already
showed the above photo on Facebook, but I have some more photos from that rainy
late August day.
Due to the rainy
weather, people seemed to have chosen to spend the day or some hours at the
Louvre – the lines were longer than usual. After all, they had to stay outside
for quite a while, under umbrellas, before entering the pyramid. (There are
slightly quicker and more weather-protected ways to enter the museum, but maybe
the lining up is part of the charm.)
Some people
dared to cross the bridges by foot.
The Eiffel
Tower (Trocadéro) and the boat tours were less popular than a “normal” August
day.
Later
during the day I visited Parc Monceau. I had a feeling of being the only one
there… together with some discouraged ducks.
I was
impressed by the air bubbles created by the raindrops.
I guess that
after a rather dry and hot summer, at least the vegetation appreciated the rain.
This was a couple of days ago. Yesterday - and last night, the weather was really nice, hot!

I agree with the other comments regarding the poetry seen in this post. i would love to be there, with my umbrella bien sûr.....
En 2000 à la première visite de nos amis américains, nous avons visité Paris sous la pluie, une autre année c'était avec nos amis allemands.
T'as dernière photo est géniale.
Hi Peter,
I love your photos of the pond and ducks and flowers. Our summer ended very suddenly a few days ago, too. It's been pouring rain since Saturday, and we had a huge wind storm - no power for three days. But at least the forest fire situation is under control.
