The La Egeria sherry wine festival parade

Parisians are known worldwide for their ability to enjoy life.

My new bride and I enjoyed the city on our recent honeymoon and, indeed, found its residents having fun.

Walkabouts in the city are always visually interesting, and on one occasion, we ran across a parade of humorously dressed people who were celebrating a wine festival. They, of course made fascinating photo subjects, but I was more interested in people doing everyday things in everyday ways.

All of these photos were made with a Nikon D1 digital camera, 17-35mm f2.8 and 80-200mm f2.8 lenses.

Strangers meet and enjoy a moment, under the influence of good sherry wine.
