The Cyclists
It always amazes and delights me when people love having their photograph taken. I saw this group in the distance and snapped them - then they saw me and one or two waved (see smaller photograph). Then they quickly organised themselves into posing with the tandem - the sun really too bright and too harsh on their happy faces. A great group having fun, doing what they love to do cycling around France.
They'd cycled over from Hyères - that's a long way...near St. Tropez. Home is the Ardèche region of France.
Tomorrow - a Bicycle Made for Two.
As already told, you have a knack for it. Very funny shot!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are terrific! They kindly take your eyes away from those tight spandex shorts. Alas, wish I was there with them in my spandex.
ReplyDeleteGreat group shot, Jilly. It is always amazing to me how people, in general, are fascinated with having their picture taken, in groups, it is almost as if each knows some of the pain will be shared by someone else. LOL
ReplyDeleteVery nice and friendly looking group of people. Nice capture.
ReplyDeleteLooks like those old-fashioned group portraits!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a happy photo, filled with fresh air and cheer. Yeah, Jilly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot of these guys, Jilly. You have a way with people and they respond to you!

Great group portrait with such color and vibrancy. it is motivating me to get out and do something physical today.
ReplyDeleteThey were wearing their Sunday outfit ! A nice flashy group in the sun.
ReplyDeleteHere, we keep wearing our black coat in the grey streets.
The English love having their photo taken.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great group.
ReplyDeleteJust a note on Daisy and Hal. In 1961, Bell Labs demonstrated computer generated voice by having a computer sing the song. You can Google and find the recording on-line.
ReplyDeleteFrance loves it's cyclists (even foreign ones, as I've discovered)
ReplyDeleteReally nice group photo Jilly
Nous faisons partie du groupe que vous avez photographié et nous vous remercions... avec un peu de retard dont nous nous excusons.
ReplyDeleteMerci d'avoir posé pour la postérité... avec nos vélos. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour sur la Côte d'Azur et nous en garderons un souvenir impérissable grâce à votre rencontre fortuite...
