I guess there's nothing I like better than wandering the streets of Paris and taking pictures
of interesting details I notice. Here are five examples.
Somebody's cat in a window, watching people walk by
A lion's head door decoration
The lion is also the mascot of the Peugeot car company
The emblem of the city of Paris on a metro bridge
Graffiti on a letterbox
Nice details. you have an eye fot them.
ReplyDeleteif you magnify the 4th photo, the motto (devise), Fluctuat nec mergitur, She floats but do not sink, can be read above the fleurs de lis on the emblem of the city of Paris. The city was also awarded the Legion of honor. That photo might have been taken next to my place.
Sorry for the typos and grammatical errors.
DeleteIt's not easy to "type" on a small tablet. The "keys" on the virtual keyboard are just too small, at least for my fingers.
DeleteThat photo of the Paris emblem was taken near your place. The idea between the slogan fluctuat nec mergitur is that Paris is tossed around by the waves like a sailing ship in a storm, but the city stays afloat and doesn't go under. We'll always have Paris, in other words!
I've enjoyed these photos and all of the Paris postings. The cat's eyes match the paint on the walls. The pandemic here is going out with a big surge- let's hope we all keep afloat and don't sink like this Paris emblem.
ReplyDeleteI rarely think about the emblem of Paris, so thanks for that!
