@Steed: ah true true, the decisive moment is very real. Though I must admit, this photo is actually from 2009 and I never posted it to Aminus3 or even did much with it other than a different crop. Coming back through the archives, older, a little wiser, 15 years later, and I see this immediately and think, WOW - that is a good one! I guess like fine wine, the best moments take a little time to mature.

Nice vintage appeal in this photograph. I'm sure the drivers appreciate the cobblestone when they feel the car rumble across them. :-) A great find for the prompt.

@Steven: Thanks Steven. Those cobblestones are not so fun when you are in need of the bathroom!

The B&W gives this a timeless feel. The cobblestone streets are quaint.

Top street shot. Exactly b/w what I even prefer in the moment.

@Ralf Kesper: hey Ralf, thanks, and you are right that the b/w brings this one to life

Some old cobblestones and a nice Twingo, what an era!
Well seen in black and white, argentic style!

@Jean-Luc.M: good old Twingo - good eye! Thanks

Even though it was takes in 2009, this photo has a wonderful vintage feel to it. Great atmosphere of city life combined with innocence and carelessness of youth.

@Darkelf Photography: Thanks Maciek, goes to show how compelling photos can be timeless. Although in the modern world, 2009 feels like vintage !! :)

Roger Dekert from VAUREAL, France

A pretty cobbled street and this little girl who seems to be frolicking from cobblestone to cobblestone.
