Walk to the Monastery of l'Annonciade - the Road Sweeper

The older ladies who live on this Chemin du Rosaire are pretty tough. Remember the old lady who fed the cats a couple of days ago?
Now meet the lady who sweeps the road. She's sweeping the steps below the shrine you see on the right, which is doubtless near the entrance to her house.
You can tell she's fit. I envy her being in a sleeveless dress...
ReplyDeleteI love when you compose your shots with the local people at their business. It gives the image an anchor that is entirely satisfying.
ReplyDeleteMust seem like her work never ends.
ReplyDeleteAll your photos are great and I look forward to seeing them each day. I think these "old lady" pictures would make a great series (if you take a few more more). Bibi's observation is right on- the woman is fit and I envy those lean, strong arms!
ReplyDeleteHard work and it looks as if she's done that all her life. How many of us would sweep the road like that!

I love to see older women with gray hair. Hers looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell what it is but all the pictures of older french women that you have taken, have a certain "je ne sais quoi". Maybe it is their youth coming through, their strength and vitality?
She can come to London anytime she likes.
