On this promenade, old and contemporary constructions.
The contemporary black and white columns in the courtyard of the Royal Palace,
-the Louvre pyramid in the Cour Napoléon.
The straight lines that are present in these 2 contemporary constructions reminds me of sobriety uprightness, rigor etc...
&
the Funanbules kiosks, in the setting of Place Colette, close to the Comédie Française, it is a very original metro entrance!
Murano glass balls, it reminds me of champagne bubbles, birthday balls, bubbles soaps etc...
Enjoy the walk.

What time is it? This is a question we ask ourselves regularly, we consult frantically our smartphones. But if we go back up again time, what are we going to find: "gusset watches, clocks, sundials, and clepsydra." Throughout the ages there are various constructions, inventions that allowed as many people as possible to have time references during the day, since we are talking about creativity and construction... and rightly so!

there is a small cannon that fired at (noon solar time), thanks to a magnifying glass that captured the rays of the sun, and it is from him that the expression midi pétante comes...
