Vivid but slightly heavy sunlight shimmers on the metal of car roofs, but the trees absorb some and a couple of hundred thousand people absorb the rest. It looks like there is a convention of people on holiday in town, all on this street. Hardly anybody is dressed for work and I am very interested in how people are dressed even if they are not wearing much. The flags add gay color, though they don't show well in the photos. They make it seem as if there are 32-odd countries making state visits and the colors keep the green of the tress from being oppressive.
Drivers are nervous and they are using their horns a lot.
Pedestrians are not paying much attention to the 'green man' on the 'Don't Walk' signs, so it is hard for drivers to get on or off the Champs without nosing through the throngs. One odd thing is, if you stand in the middle of a sidewalk, you can see individual people and they don't look like too many. If you look up or down a bit, then you realize you can see hundreds of thousands all at once. To photograph this, you need a really good tripod and a really long tele-lens and even then I don't think the resolution would be equal to what eyes can see. The 'good-humor' Tunisian bus.
