I had a meeting at La Défense this morning. La Défense - for those of you who would have forgotten - is a business district right outside Paris where mostly skyscrapers are to be found. But not only... there is also a lot or "street"(there are no actual streets over there!) art, like this one, a stunning statue of Icare (Icarus), made by Igor Mitoraj.
Terrific angle ! Love how you play with the height of buildings ! Not only a good find, a good composition too and not only because this is yours ;-). Well si! because it is yours !!
ReplyDeleteV E R T I G O !
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very clever shot, especially when something artistic makes me see something in a different way.
I am catching up after a long vacation in a forest with no internet (but great scenary). Thank you for the great photos - love the summer dawn in Paris. I could imagine the quiet of the moment before the day starts. Love seeing La Defense. I worked there when I worked in Paris, so it brings back memories. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteor scenery (darn no spell check!)
ReplyDeleteIcarus, who flew too close to the sun, which melted his wings, teaching him humility the hard way. Your photo illustrates humility toward heights. The gods would be pleased. (I also recall your vertigo!)
ReplyDeleteEric. Oh my. You have topped yourself.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for falling hot wax!!!!
ReplyDeleteawesome angle!
ReplyDeleteEric, I can't help but wish we had a photo of you taking the photo!ha! Flat down on the ground? Great shot. A little shocking, first thing to see in the morning:) but great shot!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo - the angle, the colours. It will be one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteBTW I have started my own blog. It's in Danish though, but you are all welcome to stop by anyway and leave a comment ;o)
