Weekly Photo Challenge: In The Background
This photo was taken in our Paris hotel room on May 1, 2012. Initially, I was drawn to the ultra modern window wall, with striking geometric sweep and simpatico materials of construction, creating dramatic contrasting and coordinating shades and shadows. One could return to this room, having strolled the avenues and cobblestone alleys of Paris, without leaving the Parisian ambiance behind.
Most surprising after having captured this photo, i realized the striking juxtaposition of this modern window wall with the mid-century architecture, beyond the window frame; and the loveliness of the beautifully warped surface, abutting the mirrored clarity of the city-facades view ‘up the hill’ to l’Arc de Triomphe.’
