Boulevard Haussman (Paris) by Alex Howen
Forty years have not done much to improve the traffic although the cars and buses may have changed a bit. Scanned from one of my early images taken on Agfa transparency film – converted to grayscale and processed.
Photographed in April 1972.
Featured on the Redbubble home page January 2011.

Thanks for looking and commenting on this image. One of the benefits of getting older is my film library has historic value! I am enjoying rediscovering some treasures in my archives.

By it’s vehicles shall it’s age be known. My first car was a mini like that. Nostalgia in’t what it used to be. Cheers Alex!
Guess what? My first car was also a Mini almost identical to the one here. I love the pairing of two cars in the centre lane. The Citroën 2CV (one of the ugliest cars in the known universe) and the Mini (one of the prettiest – please pardon the bias).
