Puncture!


In Rue Longue, a child's bike with a puncture seems to rest against the adult bike for protection.

Look at the patina on those old steps - worn from years and years of use.

Dans la rue Longue,le vélo d' enfant avec une crevaison semble reposer sur le vélo d' adulte comme pour se protéger.

Regardez la patine sur les vieilles marches - formée par des années et des années d'utilisation.

  2. It looks like a father and child will get to spend some quality time together fixing a tire.

  10. Thank You so much for the memory, Jilly. Those doorways look very familiar. I suppose it is much easier to ride bikes on the new paving stones. I love to watch the little ones riding their bikes in the park along the beach wall. Glad you have your sunshine back. It is freezing where I live, but I am heading to Florida tomorrow for some weather more like Menton's.
