may 16 - centre pompidou, conciergerie, and notre dame
outside the centre pompidou, a neat space with an amazing contemporary and modern collection
the courtyard next to it has cool performers and some stores
view from those escalators...
african-influenced piece
usable for desktop wallpaper i thought, maybe...
this piece actually plays with fractals - each version consists of an exact replica, a messed up replica, and a blank replica, of the previous work. quite the mind bender!
peeking
shrooming
man, what a pain this musta been to assemble
scale model of a large installation somewhere in shanghai i think
sometimes the patrons are as fun as the art
run this way with fire licking at your heels!
cathedral under wraps
welcoming doors though
and it was very pretty inside
sigh, just another piece of beautiful tower architecture
whoa, ipad 2?
the conciergerie, where prisoners of the terror were held
notre dame!
i liked how you could get a confessions going on if so inclined
detail
one of these things is not like the others...
always love gargoyles...
this is the view from where we were eating our crepes
and these were some of our crepes
hey hey!
hotel de ville
bald guy in front of the hotel de ville
back near the pompidou
upper level. these finely dressed folk were late for something
dinner at le pure cafe, near our apartment. the shrimp over amber's risotto still had legs and eyes and stuff
thanks waitress lady!
couldn't figure out how to take a better shot of the moon
goodnight!
