Cascade florale #2


"Cascade florale" (June 8, 2019) has been receiving so many clicks/views that I've decided to post photos of this same café at different times of the day for the next few days in the spirit of Monet's "Cathedral of Rouen" series in the Orsay Museum.

Late afternoon.

Elderly people and those living alone without contact with neighbours are a particular concern as the city increases emergency planning...." - BPJ
