How long did you have to wait for a people-free shot of this?

LOL! I'll have to show your comment to my wife. She pokes fun at me because where ever we go you'll always see me standing around waiting for people to move out of the way so I can take a shot with no people in it.

We were visiting Time Square and she spontaneously said, "Please don't wait for a shot with no people or cars."

I think this shot was actually taken in November. I prefer Paris in Nov-Jan because the crowds are so much thinner. Plus I fell in love with Paris in a cold drizzle and that's how I still prefer it. There may not have been many people around the day I took this.

Looking through my other pictures there are more than a few "peopleless" pictures.

Did you notice that the book cover photo is missing the hour/minute hands too?

The pic from Tashian is also missing the clock hands; I wonder how long they were off?
