Walking towards freedom...


I'm not sure if I've already shown you this monument (it's one dedicated to Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz that was sculpted by Antoine Bourdelle and given to France by Poland after WWI). Regardless, the real reason why I chose to post this photo today is, of course, because of the light. In Paris, it's located along the Cours Albert 1er, along the river bank.

  1. Wow. Very interesting colors and mood. The museum of Antoine Bourdelle is in the Montparnasse neighborhood which is bit off the usual tourist route, but I would recommend it ...maybe not on your first trip to Paris (unless you have an interest in sculpture), but on your second or third.

    1. Quelque chose d'extraordinaire se dégage de cette photo, quelque chose que je n'arrive pas à définir, à transformer en mots...Quelque chose de puissant et ... je n'arrive pas à dire. Les mots se dérobent. J'ai l'esprit fatigué. Je devrais marcher, marcher jusqu'à libération. Quelque chose de guerrier, oui je crois. Héroïque. Entre les allées d'arbres taillés, coule le lit de notre Histoire. I went walking.
      Pas..., libérez ma pensée ...
