Layers seen along theSeine
Taken from the Pont Saint-Michel you can see layers from the buildings along the quai, the bouquinistes, the level under the street, the banks of the Seine, and finally the Seine herself.
How have I not noticed the walkway under the street level on this south side of the river? What are those open spaces in the stone wall, and what lies beyond? I am thinking of Jean-Valjean and M. Hugo.

Hello Genie:
ReplyDeleteIndeed, a fascinating viewpoint to reveal this very linear scene. Yes, we too wonder what lies in the farthest reaches and what was the original purpose?
Hi Genie. Oh what an adventure it would be to shimmy down to those open spaces and explore what lies beyond. I would probably end up in the Siene if I tried. Bon Vivant J.
ReplyDeleteAération du RER C ?
ReplyDeleteNice one. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI think I will pass on exploring the lower level but would happily take in the view of the layers from this perspective! Nice shot!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the scene when they finally emerge from sewers of Paris. :-)
ReplyDeleteI quite like the variety of lines and buildings in this shot, Genie!
ReplyDeleteI think Alain may be right—but my first thought was also Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert. Thanks for piquing my curiosity, Genie!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious what in those openings too.
ReplyDeleteLovely capture my friend.
