Chartres, which boasts a mag-ni-fi-cient cathedral, was enduring a hot time the day I got there. And then out of nowhere there is a breeze and before I know it a few clouds materialize in the afternoon and cools the entire place ! I run for cover to what happens to be a painter’s studio. We talk about travel experiences in India (his experiences) and France (mine), I watch him paint, he even has a few organic tea bags (which is not a very common thing in that café-land) , makes a black tea and after some 30minutes of pleasant chatter and ‘bonne journée’ s afterward, I prepare to leave. Just when I step out, I see this drenched leaf and those lovely droplets sticking out on the surface. After quite a bit of stuggle with my ancient Nikon Coolpix I go ‘click’. And then, head towards the train station for a train back to Paris.
Looking forward to many more such pleasant travel experiences, tons of travels, cartloads of books and films, lots of photography and year filled with fun :-)
Here is wishing you the same & more ! ;)
