Days are getting shorter. We must make the most of the sunlight available to us. It’s not as easy as it seems considering movement restrictions that were put into place recently.
It’s been two weeks since France have gone under another lockdown but as I mentioned before, this one is less strict. As long as you justify why you’re out – you’re fine.
I’d like to justify I am one of them. One of the last sunlight stalkers. We’re here to inhale the last warm seconds of the day. Here to bathe in the last sun rays.

Thank you for visiting,

you’re the last sunlight stalker Yuri !
and you’re a great one
love the moments and the high contrasts taken.
Here another craziness in the air – the possible must of vaccinating.
I’m an anti-vaxxer as sure another 50% of my country who don’t like to put something not checked in to the body.
Thanks Victor, appreciated as always! I do enjoy those last sun rays 🙂
Well, here only about 15% of French will not vaccinate according to polls… I’m also very sceptical about this but I want to ask you, would you do it if it was tested and approved by Health Organizations and doctors?
i never used to use any vaccine before and do not mind to do this not now not later. btw i dont believe to these Health organizations.
I understand however we all still have done the Smallpox/BCG vaccine a long time ago, right?
I understand it’s everyone’s right and not sure how people would react to a must do vaccination… I do have a few friends though, who work in medical labs and hospitals in Paris and they obviously recommend if it’s approved.
Good to know. Sure i will check better later after some time we will know much more. We all got some vaccines after our birth and no.one asked us if we do.want. And the time was different. And the things were much more sure. Even was the only one newspaper “Pravda” full of fake news and information ;-))
haha you said it! – “Pravda” full of fake news lol how ironic is that
Haha but it was some long period of time ;-)))
Beautiful pictures, and a nice sentiment too, Yuri. You really made the most of those last few moments of light.
I especially like the first picture, it really encapsulates a lot about the current situation with the lady in her mask standing in that spot of light while she can.
Thank you Owain, good to see you here as always. As soon as I saw her standing in the spot light I had to rush towards her but not scare her at the same time. It was a beautiful moment 🙂
Lovely photos Yuri and beautiful light. Keep shooting!
Thank you Dan, appreciate you having a look.
Lovely sunlight stalkers at Place de la Comédie. I used to be just like them…
Thank you and i believe you’re still one of them, just in a different place 😉
😊 Deep down, always a sun stalker!!!
Lovely photos Yuri. Glad you still have sufficient freedom available to be able to get out and make them.
Thank you and yes, within a kilometer apparently but I don’t know how they check this 🙂 people don’t seem to care much but they have warned us there will be more police checking on the streets.
that first frame, it’s neat the way the sunlight is on the person’s face. It looks like her eyes are closed and she’s soaking up the last rays. In the background, what’s that suspended from the second story, suspended over the square?
Yes, her eyes were closed indeed. She was enjoying those last rays.
The suspensions are the Christmas decorations. It’s all over the city center already.
Thanks for stopping by Jason.
Beautiful light. I love how these turn out, and I like how you don’t over process them.
Thanks! All the processing is done just before making the images, in camera. I love Fuji for that, you can easily play around with aperture, fstop depending on light conditions on a given moment. In the end i might just crop a little or fix the over exposed bits.
