What genius to have designed this intriguing structure at

the edge of Bois de Boulogne.  One has a feeling of 

riding an enormous ship high above the Bois de Boulogne 

with a view of the Paris skyline in the distance.

As I posted yesterday, the museum appears as a ship,

white and translucent with billowing sails.

Here at the very base of the "hull" 

you can see the body of water in which it sits.

Today I am joining James' Weekend Reflections

seen here.

This creative structure designed by Frank Gehry, 

is an architectural wonder.  To say that it was

a challenge to build/assemble is a gross understatement.

The exterior resembles a ship with billowing sails, 

an image reinforced by the movement

of moving water.
