The title was also the title of a great French film and this photo was indeed taken early one Friday evening.

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia
Before even seeing the title I thought it was a very cinematic photo - film noir. Print it, frame it, hang it on your living room wall. Excellent.

@Makoto: ありがとう、真さん！
