Back of La Grande arche de la Défense

I went to La Défense yesterday for some last minute shopping (the shopping mall there is the only one opened on Sundays) and I took some time to go up the steps of the Grande arche and look at the sunset on the other side. It was stunning. Now is the time to fly back "home" after a hectic week in Paris. However, it seems that Malta is going to experience the same cold wave that the rest of Europe is experiencing! It's a good thing that blankets were on the shopping list yesterday ;-)

Sunny side of the street...

I went back to La Défense area today and I could not help it! From the 17th floor where I was, I took this photo, which is pretty similar to the one I already posted a few weeks ago, but not quite ;-) I really love the way the sun creates these shadows on the ground. There should be more, as the weather in Paris will improve dramatically over the next days. I hope it's going to be the same for you; have a great great weekend.

Small ville!

Today I had a meeting on 17th floor of a building at La Défense, the Business district of Paris. During a break, I rushed to the window and took several photos. In the end I selected this one because of its surreal aspect; the people look like little puppets on a playground! That's all, nothing mush to add...

Flower 2.0!

Who said nothing grows on concrete! Look at what I found at La Defense, the business district of Paris where there is far more concrete than grass! OK... They are not real flowers, but flowers made of recycled plastic bottles that are part of an exhibition by Pierre Estève. It's also a "crowdsourcing" event, where everyone is invited to contribute and bring their own bottles! Cool isn't it?
