Place des Vosges
The angles and patterns seen in this 400 year old square reflect the old and the new. The lines of green superimposed on the curves of the lampposts and the never-ending archways are pleasing to the eye.
The four rows of houses forming the square were all built to the same design. On a sunless day it is possible to enter the park and then lose your sense of direction. Well, perhaps with dark clouds rolling in from the west, you will get your bearings again.

Beautiful Genie!
ReplyDeleteUn classique parisien! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite places in Paris!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember ever seeing anyone in the parc.
ReplyDeleteThe curve in the lamp post is the focal point in this one Genie. It is such a contrast to the straight lines in the rest of the image.
ReplyDeleteUn endroit très recherché qui abrite quelques célébrités.
ReplyDeleteI would like to spend an afternoon there, reading a book or daydreaming.
ReplyDeleteUne envie irrésistible de me trouver là ! Merci Genie
