[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Steel Balls Fountain (sculpture by Belgian artist Pol Bury) in Palais Royal (Royal Palace), Paris.

The Palais Royal (Royal Palace) built between 1632 and 1639 by Le Mercier for Cardinal Richelieu. Over the last 25 years this place has also been used to show modern art work. First, Les colonnes de Buren, a very controversial piece of art at that time and this Steel Balls Fountain.

Hi Alex,
This works great! More so if you realise that those balls in a smaller size are used on every village square throughout France (jeu de boules). It's also great that there are several, sothat the reflection repeats itself.
And a title that rhymes - all perfect.
