In 2015, I posted a series of photos of people sitting on benches under the trees in the Palais Royal. I captured them from the back rather than from the front for a myriad reasons, including privacy. Here are links to view both series:

I returned to the gardens of the Palais Royal last week on a stupendous sunny day with puffy clouds, the bluest sky, and the perfect temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The garden was teeming with people picnicking, sunning themselves around the fountain, reading books, and just plain relaxing, appreciating the divine weather.
Feeling like a bit like a voyeur and a spy, I clandestinely started takin photos of people on the benches again but this time I took them from different angles rahter than just straight ahead as I did last time. I hid underneath trees, poking my head out at an opportune time, trying not let people find out I was photographing them, which was a tough task.
I am curious what you think of the photos and would love your feedback, so please leave comments.
I will post series 2 next Monday, with a fun interactive element. Stay tuned!
