Place de la Concorde by Klod5
Trained between sky and earth, exposed to all pollutions of the megapolis, the monument seems well sad and sorry, far from the sand of pyramids of its origins. By clear time, rare in Paris, one manages to see the obelisk, the bow of triumph of the star, and the ark of Defense that are in the same alignment.
In the middle of the unceasing stream of vehicles that constantly turns around the place of the Concorde, the two fountains that decorate it are really badly placed.
They are yet so beautiful !
The first fountain is closer to the Seine, all of black and gold, it offers a way of caroussel populated of naiads.
The other fountain of the place of the Concorde is more close to a passage for pedestrians (daring), and some tourists benefit from this to make itself photograph on bottom of Opera or Champs Elysées.In fact, it is very difficult to take a monument of Paris in photo without having a Japanese tourist in its justification.
You will have noticed, since you are necessarily the esthetes, the scholarly justification of the photo !
