Colonne de Juillet
(July Column)
Seen from the street below, the gilded "spirit of freedom"
appears ready to take flight into the blue sky
This towering Corinthian-styled column is topped with
Auguste Dumont's "Génie de la Liberté"
built between 1835 and 1840 to commemorate
the 1830 revolution

So bright and shiny too—do you suppose someone shimmies up the column to take care of that?
It certainly looks quite golden... I'm assuming there's regular maintenance.
Beau gros plan
Very nice.
