My photo of the week: "Crow"

This photo was taken in the Champ-de-Mars, as you can see, at the other end of the Eiffel Tower.

The columns on the left hand side of this photo are actually a part of « The Wall for Peace » created by artist Clara Halter and constructed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte in March 2000. That 9m high wall is surrounded by 32 steel columns in which words of 'peace' in different languages are crafted. Pretty nice and original! On top of it, if you walk through the crack of the wall, you may notice 30 screens showing instant peace messages sent on-line via internet all over the world. If you want, you may also send your peace messages via their site. Simply go to their site there, and click "send your message" on the bottom left hand corner.

Something new to me, according to their site, similar works have also been constructed in Saint Petersburg and Hiroshima in 2003 and 2005 respectively!

Have a nice weekend everybody!

【photo】'This is not a bird'

Then what is this ?

This is a photo I've taken in the Parc de Bercy in March ;-)

Yes an idea of René MAGRITTE, one of the painters whom I like very much :P

Ok, I guess the bird in the photo is an heron (鷺), and I find it very elegant ! We see it in the park only from time to time since eary this year.
