No pink elephants!


Here is a cool sculpture that I found in front of the Institut du monde arabe (the Arab World Institute) . It's called "Trio Elephants" and it was made by Nadim Karam, a Lebanese artist who was born in Senegal. He has this "thing" for elephants and likes to sculpt them in bronze, wood, metal... Anyway, on top of the sculpture, I really love this place which is like heaven for photographers ;-)

  1. Definitely heaven for photographers—especially ones with a special "perspective." Very nicely composed, Eric!

  6. This is new!! I was just in Paris 10 days ago and paid a visit to the Arab World Institute and these elephants were not there at that time - lucky you to see and photograph them!
