Certainly, Christian! Being an authorized translator (Finnish > Swedish) I find it difficult enough to maintain a high standard in just two languages :)

Good day Elisa. I was given for my birthday a book of old photographs from Montreal - sort of history through images. At the beginning of the XXth century, you can see that there were rows of men shovelling snow, and some horses too with a large plow. This I didn't know - only the very noisy machinery. But I remember from my stay in Peru the conforting sound of the street sweepers early in the morning.
Suomi, Svensk, English, and even a little Old Nork from your part I guess ? Learning languages is mind opening, isn't it ?

Hi Christian! Last night I was thinking of what I saw here ... how I miss the silent workers, when they have been replaced by loud machines. History is full of peculiar times; this is certainly a pearl.
(Wish I had just a fraction of your impressive language skills; Spanish, French, English etc.!)

Looks like a good place to be away from. Never know what might happen.

Bonjour Fabrice ! Merci pour les commentaires. Vous comprenez que ce sont des photos resssucitées en quelque sorte, vieilles de plus de 30 ans. Leur valeur, pour moi du moins, sont bien plus de l'ordre du souvenir, dense et non fugace, que de l'ordre de l'esthétique. La bannière qui se lit : «La révolution, personne ne l'arrête» a quelque chose déjà d'un peu dérisoire avec ce balayeur qui enlève les derniers vestiges d'un rassemblement. Mon titre parodie : «Personne ne la balaie».

Belle prise journalistique Christian. J'aime, comme d'habitude le coup d'oeil et l'angle de prise qui permet d'embrasser une scene assez vaste avec les gens qui discutent ou attendent, et la petite touche finale : le balayeur. Le seul travailleur de la photo. Bien vu bien pris.. simplement Bravo!!
