Alone around 10 PM - Just me and this tempting French creperie

It is my favorite thing in the world to wander around foreign streets at night... all alone... just me and my iPod. I'm much too weak to avoid passing by these little creperies without stopping in for a fresh French pastry... I mean, who in their right mind could avoid that?

I do the same thing, and usually I'm the "tall white guy" who sticks out, lol. I don't know how many side roads, alleys, and beaten paths I've walked on in Korea and Japan, but I loved it!

I completely agree with you. Walking around at night with my iPod is probably the most unhealthy thing I do the most often.

I love the colours, very vivid. The light on the clouds above the street looks like a searchlight - very 1940's / WWII

Yes, I know the feeling... tempting the french crêpes... i like the ones with apples. Nice work, and I do share you´re habbit of going out at night exploring with my camera when being somewhere on a business trip. Good fun, and you get to see more then the meeting or the hotel room. Trey, I like you´re work.

hahaha - A) you have so many comments, I'm tempted to stop scrolling till i get to the comment box. B) i know there are a lot of people who would think you were not in your right mind to wander around foreign streets at night all alone. I've had people tell me this. But equally so, about passing up the pastry!

there is nothing more true than this! i love it too (iPod nano 1G in my case), and especially in french streets indeed. In France, even the streets have a character, don't they.

Verticordia ( . . . ) says:

I was comparing your "golden afternoon" to the "...creperie" I like ambiance the lighting sets here. it's intriguing. The golden afternoon has a more architectural and illustrative sense about it like it was painted to just to reveal the objects. Where above it tends to stir a curiosity beyond the objects. or so it seems to me. It's a nice pair to compare.
