The Carpet Shaker
We are way up the top of the Old Town of Ventimiglia where many people still do things the old way.

Reminds me of a trip to Italy because the housekeeper in our villa did the same thing, every morning. A slice of life photo.
ReplyDeleteIneke spotted it!..Yes, the fag. Photo wlouldn't be the same without it!!
ReplyDeleteThere's another way??
ReplyDeleteA slice of French life. Perfect Jilly. The cigarette adds a little more to it! Reminds me of Nathalie's post about whether we had ever missed a photo opportunity. I did last summer on Ile St. Louis. I was doing a walking photo tour with Meredith Mullins. I spotted a gentleman shaking his tablecloth out the window. I shot it quickly but it was blurry. Meredith gave me an "A" for effort!
ReplyDeleteSave this photo as well!!!

That is a nice shot of real life!:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful snapshot!
ReplyDelete(Ventimiglia in Liguria, I suppose, or is there one in France too?)
In Rome we had a balcony "di servizio" where the housekeepers were allowed to shake the rugs or anything during the morning hours, before eleven I think to remember.
Amazing! Shake out those rugs, like ya mama taught ya!
ReplyDeleteNice moment of life you caught! The cigarette is priceless!
ReplyDeleteMerisi, yes Ventimiglia in Liguria. It's just across the border from Menton. I often go to the market there to shop - many do - and from Monaco.
ReplyDeleteClassic!
ReplyDeleteAladin's departure airport.....The hostess isn't so distinguished.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the neighbors around her think about this? hak hak kofff
