Sometimes it is necessary to add a text in order to understand
the context of a picture. This is however one of the mysteries
about photography - often you are better off without explanations.
This picture needs a text though.
As an experiment I will not submit the text that goes with the
picture at once - in order to give you a chance to share your
feelings about it.

Well, this is a quite well known picture at least to some of us.
I can´t help thinking about the photographer. What made him
or her point the camera in that direction away from the scene
in the street? Was it a deliberate choice? A brave photographer
by all means. There is no information to find other than the text:
"A Frenchman weeps as German soldiers march into the French
capital, Paris, on June 14, 1940, after the Allied armies had been
driven back across France."
