This weeks photo challenge is all about ‘street life’… the only recent street life photos I’ve taken were all in or around Brick Lane and I think I’ve posted enough of those for now! So I decided to use some from a holiday in France back in 2011!
Hope you enjoy them…
A couple of buskers… love that sax sound!
This local was sharpening knives at his stall and the guy next to him was selling all manner of knives… possibly a father and son team?!
Two more buskers… my son loved listening to the guitarists we heard around the market!
Pigeon street life!
The under cover part of the market
This cute little guy was sitting on a display stand watching the street life go by while his owner went about his business!
This flute busker looks like he’s come straight from Narnia!
A quieter side of street life!
Two ladies take time out to relax and have a catch up!
Street life signs!
No choice but to relax and follow behind slowly!
