Though quite different, your shot instantly reminded me of Jeanloup Sieff's Le Café de Flore.

I would still love to do a trip along the Canal du Midi and shoot into those gardens and farms... for a while I could abandon my concerns with intrusion!

Reminds me of an oil painting my mother did. Now I see why she painted it.

Merci Rob and David .... spent lots of times along the rivers of France > looking for gardens of old.   Ste Emillion has plenty in and around this Roman city ...

Love the echoing of the windows and chairs, squares and circles... the distribution of whites, grays, and blacks.

Took me many years to see those distributions .... going between colour & B/W ... but I really sculptured my eye to look..

This just would not work in colour  ;D

I totally agree. It's a true classic in B&W and I wouldn't even want to see it in color.

Certainly the last to hijack a thread, but this reminds me of one I posted last year titled: "Waiting for Old Friends." I like the use of metal chairs and tables as they seem to attract that singular feeling of emptiness.

Emotional and inviting - I instantly want to live there.
