Haut les mains!


Victoria Antiquités

These hands appear to be touching the blue skies of Paris
They were over a corner shop, Victoria Antiquités, 
which displayed a wealth of treasures in the store windows.

    It pays to look up, doesn't it! These make a fabulous silhouette against the sky. Nicely found, Genie.

    I thought of a sign for a gloves shop..
    I like the silhouette on the blue sky!

    Not sure I get the connection between camo hands and antiques—but I love that you saw this, shot it, and shared it!

    I agree with Virginia, it looks like a pair of hands in camo! Beautiful and unique photo. :)

    Paris is the city to be always looking up! A wonderful quirky capture Genie perfectly set against the bluest of skies. xx

    How odd. You would expect them to represent a nail salon or something like that.

    I really did not make the connection between this shop and the sign (without words). Perhaps there had been a glove maker in this space in a previous time or a nail salon?

    I am at a loss to explain the camo pattern.

    Bises,
    Genie
