The story behind this image

La Place du Tertre, near the enormous Sacre Coeur basilica, is a bustling square filled with artists during the day and diners plus one photographer at night.

With the basilica looming in the backgound this is a great place for night time shooting, and with a slow shutter speed the passing pedestrians are reduced to ghostly blurs.
