City Daily Photo Theme Day - Squares



Hôtel du Nord


A faceless shadow leaves its mark 
on the restaurant floor tiles.



On the first day of each month I join all my City Daily Photo friends in a theme.  This month's theme is SQUARES.  Click here to see all of the others from around the world.

    Hello Genie,

    One can almost hear the theme tune of 'The Third Man' playing in the background........

    Love black and white chequered floors.

    Genie I have been looking at a number of square theme photos today. Yours is the most original. The shadow made the difference.

    Good one, Genie! Even with the sun shining, there is something slightly sinister about this composition.

    That's what we call a damier in french, from the 'dames' game, or chessboard. Love the shadow, makes it so much better
