I was walking along Rue Charlot in the third arrondisement of Paris when I stumbled upon a Sunday morning street market. As I turned the corner I encountered this man, surrounded by a crowd of people gathered to hear him sing Italian opera at Le Lutétia, a sidewalk cafe. He had an amazing voice and held his audience spellbound. I found a table, sat down, ordered myself a glass of French wine, while I watched in awe, as people spontaneously joined in on the familiar lyrics The crowd, presumably neighborhood friends, all gave him an overwhelming ovation, as he well deserved. I must say that this was one of my most memorable moments in Paris. Sometimes you just have to walk, walk and walk with no agenda because you'll never know what happy scenes you might encounter along the way.
I might add, parenthetically, that I have never encountered such a scene in any of my travels throughout Italy, a country I love. In fact, I rarely hear Italian opera, or any opera, being sung or played anywhere in Italy unless, of course, I’ve bought tickets to the opera. Unlike my travels to France, I only encounter pop American music while in Italy.
This song sparrow was calling out next to the path by the river, asking for a photo. As this area has been populated primarily by house sparrows lately, I was happy to oblige!
"The night club was burning
From the torch singers song
And the sweat was floodin' her eyes
The catwalk squeaked
'Neath the bartender's feet
And the smoke was too heavy to rise"---- John Prine

A common tailorbird (orthotomus sutorius) giving voice to its insistent and relatively loud call. Hearing the call, you would never imagine it coming from such a tiny bird. Photographed in Khao Lak, Thailand. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com

The Girl With Eyes Like Candle Light
you know the kind
A brilliant deep orange-brown
The kind that make you lose yourself
The kind that leave you speechless
The kind that singe.
Always starts so innocent,
a stolen glance here,
a knowing smile there
All of a sudden
She Blinks
and you're left in her ashes
Burnt.
That's what happens when you play with fire,
so take caution
and Beware

Pacific Islanders have a strong tradition in singing often singing in harmony by ear. This singer is a second generation Kiwi but keeps up the tradition with a powerful pure voice. White Sunday is an important day for children in Pacific Island churches.
PS. I wonder if you can help me get to 8M views? I've been stuck at 7.9 for a while. To help I've started making an album of photos that made it to Explore (the last album in my list) Sorry about blatant promotion.

This was a "first" for me. I heard this bird singing before I locate it and thought at first that a mockingbird was in the area due to the changing songs being sung. These Thrashers are said to have a repertoire that has more than a 1000 different songs.
