Mysterious object?


October 1st (already!), therefore a theme day. The CityDailyPhoto community chose "Mysterious Object". I looked and looked and looked and really could not think of something, until I came across this photo that I had taken a few days ago and never showed to you. It's part of a huge open air photo exhibit located on the Quai Branly, near the Eiffel Tower that features artists from all over the world. This one is Russian, he's called Sergey Loier and he loves surrealism! Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.

  2. It is parfait Eric, but PLEASE, don't tell me in Paris you had to actually look around for a mysterious object with all the fabulous and sometimes edgy public art at your fingertips! HA

  3. I believe she is "planking", the trend to go somewhere and lie flat and straighten out like a plank of wood. Apparently the fad has reached Russia?

    Mysterious object? Who would object to mystery? Or object mysteriously? I'm so confused.

    finally saw "Midnight In Paris" tonight. Great movie. Now I really have the Paris blues, though I am inspired to think and feel, now that I'm out of a box.

  4. I agree with Joan Elizabeth...definitely mysterious planking going on! But the fish? Hmm, what a great mystery.

  5. How big is this mysterious photo? How are they protecting this open air photo exhibit?

  6. greetings from Connecticut, USA - just wanted to tell you I spent the last 9 days in your lovely Paris where I got to meet and bond with my new grandbaby. Each day the weather just kept getting better and better.

    the only sight seeing I did was walking the baby around their neighborhood and even that was magnificent. (17th arris)

  8. J'aime quand tu dis que tu as cherché, cherché, cherché. Tu as cherché, beaucoup et nous as offert ce cliché atypique, dont je ne sais rien, si ce n'est ce que tu as écrit, que le photographe est russe et aime le surréalisme. Je me suis dit, dans la journée, que cette photo m'intriguait, oui ... avec des interprétations possibles mais que ça ne me disait au fond pas grand chose chose de mystérieux à part que c'était surréaliste. J'ai pensé que ce que je retenais vraiment, c'était cette diagonale qui coupe la scène photographiée en deux. Formant deux triangles parfaits, l'un dans l'ombre, l'autre sous la lumière ; cette diagonale au tracé fin et parfait, harmonieux même. C'est bien là le mystère de l'objet, ce tracé dans la photo qui en fait deux, ta photo dans la photo, c'est ça le vrai objet mystérieux... Enfin, c'est ce que je trouve. Puis, j'ai regardé les trouvailles des autres citybloggers sur citydailyphoto et j'ai vu des objets mystérieux... ! C'est sûr. Tu vas penser que mon commentaire est bien mystérieux. Mais c'est le thème qui m'a portée... Bonne nuit blanche et douce comme un objet mystérieux qui débute octobre.
