Taken near the Centre Pompidou in the Beaubourg district of Paris.

The Centre was called "Le Paquebot de la Culture" because of its chimneys. These ones are close from the famous Nikki de Saint-Phalle fountain located near the Centre.

The Centre Pompidou was created thanks to French President Georges Pompidou who wanted to create an original cultural institution in the heart of Paris completely focused on modern and contemporary creation.
The Centre was inaugurated in 1977 and after 30 years of existence, it is today a major institution and a landmark of Paris. In 2006, more than 5 million people visited the Centre ...

Hi there :)
It really does look like a boat in the city! Like a submarine.
Nice picture, with blue sky, the bird flyig above and the line in the sky left from the airplane.
I can see you had nice sunshine that day :)
Well done in making Paris look like a boat!

It sure does look like a ship. The trail, the bird, the sky, the funnels, all together create a deightful photograph.

hi Sylvie,

Beautiful combination with figures and the white line in the sky. I like the colours too. And of course the pigeon in motion :)

rgds,

This has good and strikingly beautiful colours. the blue and silver gel sow ell together and create a good impact. i like the way you have seen it, good perspective and pov and composed very well. The hues are gerat and so are the textures.

Bonjour, Sylvie!
Like your explanatory notes! Like a short lectures of history! :)

Was in the Centre Pompidou when I first visited Paris about 10 years ago. Don't remember much from the place from that time.. except the fact that it was very modern, the sculptures outside were a bit funny IMO. Well, it's just a few little details I remember from that time. Have been in Paris two more times since then, unfortunatelly, didn't go to Pompidou.. But I'm almost sure that today I am more into modern art than 10 years ago and it would be much more interesting for me than it was then.

Anyhow.. well composed photo this is. Like the blue sky, the bird flying freely in the sky, and those four huge chimneys! The scene really reminds a ship a bit..

Thanks for sharing!
And have a nice week, Sylvie!

Bonjour Sylvie,
Très beau point de vue combinant le bâteau avec le pigeon ou mouette et la trace de l'avion. Magnifiques couleurs et netteté des détails. Merci pour la note très explicative. Félicitations
Merci du partage

aaah ça me rappelle quand j'étais étudiant à l'école d,architecture, beaubourg était relativement neuf à l'époque (1978) et Renzo Piano figurait parmis nos idoles... J'aime bien l'oiseau et la trace de l'oiseau de métal qui se crioisent..
