1st May in France, Argentuil. Festivities organized by the town hall near the Seine river. It goes on, whatever the weather.
That day, I walked to the Seine, not realizing it will rain. A small drizzle come, but as I arrived to the Can Can dancers the rain begun stronger and stronger. The dancers did not stop!
The audience took out their umbrella. I asked one with umbrella to let me go under it so I could take a few pictures of the proud young women who did not stop dancing with rain pouring on their shoulder and imbibing even the podium.
This girl held her head high and proud and continued as the others, but even prouder as the rain come down on her. This picture spoke so much to me! I made a big copy and put in my living room to remember. To give me courage, each time I needed.
She tells me "do not let the circumstances forbid what you want to do", do int anyway. What does it tell to you?
