Edges


April 1st, no this is not an April fool's day photo, it's a theme day one... And the theme today is "Edges"! I really wasn't prepared to live on the edge today, but these figures apparently are ;-) So here you go, I took this photo at the Bir Hakeim bridge, a beautiful double decker bridge (the upper deck being used by the metro) with four statue groups by Gustave Michel on the edge. See how the rest of the City Daily Photo world was inspired by today's theme...

    Love the photo! Thanks for sharing the other daily photo sites. I didn't realize there were so many (but of course - you are the best!). We are expecting snow here tomorrow - no fooling!

    After looking at the other daily photos which are just as interesting, it, on the otherhand, seemed to make yours look quite clever to me.

    Very interesting theme—and I love your take on it! (I'm going to lobby to add some cool sculptures to the Brooklyn Bridge.)

    Eric - you know what they say. If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!
    Beautiful photo.

    I noticed that your blog is on a site called goldbaycasino.com

    I was surprised to discover my full blog is also there. I want my site deleted from goldbaycasino but they do not provided a contact. Can you help?

    I wonder what the artist has them looking at? I love Cara's adage, there is something interesting about living on the edge, is there not? :) Happy April, everyone!

    Ohhh I love this photo! Just look at those muscles! These fellows rival Michelangelo's David. And the fellow up ahead, look at him. Also love the lion heads. This is really really beautiful! Merci! Valorie

    Great photo as always. I wish this one was landscape instead of portrait so that I could set it as my desktop background.

    I love this bridge and the metro line that runs over it. When I am in Paris I stay near a stop on that line. I prefer the above ground lines, you get to see the city as you travel.

    I need to go see this part of Paris next time. I didn't know this bridge has such great detail.

    Yes, I also love the living on the edge adage.

    And yes, we expect snow tomorrow. Pblttpbbbt. (A Bronx cheer in honor of Alexa in New York. However, mon ami de l'est, I don't think messing with the Brooklyn Bridge is a good idea!)

    Love the way the figures are incorporated into the bridge. Check for those fish that might be on your back. I'm sure you have. Bon weekend.
