Tango on the Seine


One of the delights during the summer in Paris is to simply walk the quais along the Seine in early evening. You will find Parisiens having picnics, walking, dancing, and generally enjoying the weather.

The night this picture was taken we passed several areas where people were practicing their dance steps to a boom box. This older couple had an air about them that took them to a whole different level - the gentleman with his snappy hat moved smoothely and almost aloofly from his partner while she floated over the stones of the quai. The photo caught them as the music finished and an appreciative group of observers applauded.
