Paris, France |
|
|
|
Paris Orly Airport This was a time when you could still photograph the airport. After 9/11 it is not even thinkable, especially if you fly out of Boston. Look at the beautiful patterns and variation of shapes and surfaces. Notice the two manhole covers in the bottom of the picture...

Paris Smiley Where else but Paris would you see such a strange combination of shapes and textures?
|
|
|
Louvre Drain in a Grid This is another example of Parisian clean neat lines, no doubt inspired by the Swiss.
|
|
|
Louvre Grid This grid reminded me of the grids over the subways in NYC, although there was no rumble and no trains below, nor uplifting air. |
|
|
Louvre Stone Cover Somehow the Parisian cover manufacturer forgot to plant weeds between the granite stones of the cover itself, to match the rest of the plaza. |
|
|
Louvre Grated Cover This cover shows the range of the Parisian public for decoration and flair. Notice the raised ridges to prevent water from entering the hole. |
|
|
Round in the Square with Paint This cover has paint. |
|
|
Round in the Square Squiggle Cover after the rain I'm not sure why these two covers have round inserts, but I could surmise that they were an afterthought for the purpose of covering up a mistaken square hole. |
|
|
Round in the Square Textural Study This cover has so much going texturally that I just had to wait for the right light and for people to leave the spot empty. |
|
|
Paris Burst This drain burst is similar in design to, was not far from the Eiffel Tower. |
|
|
Eiffel Swirl This swirl is a fitting for the location of many celebratory occasions. |
|
|
Eiffel View Down OK, this is not a cover, but it is looking down. |
|
|
Eiffel View Up OK, this is not a cover, and it's not looking down, but it is looking up at some very utilitarian looking objects. |
|
|
Grand Arch OK, OK, this is not a cover, nor is it looking down, but it is looking up, and it is celebratory, so let's enjoy the site. |
