Une scène bien croquée.
Le sol est étonnant, avec ces vagues

@Calusarus: Sais-tu, je prends beaucoup de photos sur cette rue a cause de ses vagues qui m'etonnent chaque fois, merci beaucoup Cal :)

@Paco Díaz: Je suis beaucoup de choses et je ne suis rien lol et souvent je prends une photo et j'adore ce que j'apercois que je n'avais pas vu quand j'ai pris la photo!

It's a great shot, Lorraine. Love the chap leaning on his shovel/spade. He looks so relaxed. Excellent 'workmanship'.

Did you ever notice that wherever you see crews like this working... there is ALWAYS one leaning on a shovel? :-) Great shot, Lorraine!

This is great...but do you know what I like? It's the detail of the ripple of the pavement :)

JJ from Jersey City, United States
Wonderful shot,, Seems a common theme around the world with work gangs like this, One with a shovel or over too, One watching and two giving guidance

Hard at work holding down that waving walkway. I always enjoy your spontaneous views of work and play around you. It looks like a sunny day.

No wonder work never gets done, they lean on shovels all day. And you have the photo to prove it! ;)

That would be a challenging sidewalk for someone in a wheelchair.

A very good street photo, mmh, seems to be difficult to ride by bicycle on this wavy sidewalk..:).. I really like the play of light and shadow in this shot.

Great spontaneous looking street shot. That guy leaning foward really catches the viewer's eye, and the perspective and colours add to the whole effect.
