Jardin de l'Acclimatation

This pigeon house (pigeonnier) in Jardin de l'Acclimatation

was used during the siege of Paris in 1870

to send messages by carrier pigeon.

I do not know if pigeons are in

residence there today

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.
