Les Murs de nos villes / Our cities walls.

Paris X - July 2008.

I m going away for 4 weeks so i won't be posting any photos before the end of August. I have decided to leave you with this one that i took yesterday round the corner. I think it's a good example of how Photos are everywhere around us, either to convey a message, a piece of news , to amuse, to decorate, to illustrate, or simply as a witness of time and humanity . The picture on the wall is a photo by the briliant photographer JR (http://www.jr-art.net/ this photo http://www.jr-art.net/images/photos/BRAQUAGEFINAL.1.jpg) and I liked the way it was torn by time and how the message of the photo changes when it's altered ... A picture in a picture ... to pay a tribute to all photographers...Take care!

Je m'absente 4 semaines et ne posterai pas de photo avant fin Aout. je vous laisse donc sur cette photo prise hier à coté de chez moi. Une photo comme exemple de la photo dans nos vie, comme Å“uvre d art, d'expression, d' illustration, d information ou tout simplement comme témoin d une humanité en mouvement et du temps qui passe. Cette photo de JR (http://www.jr-art.net/ cette photo: http://www.jr-art.net/images/photos/BRAQUAGEFINAL.1.jpg) collée la, expression libre , qui s'est transformée avec le temps (le message en étant tronqué, différent ) m'a séduite, photo dans une photo pour rendre hommages à tous les photographes autour de nous. A bientôt .

Detail......

....of the "Fountain of the tortues" in Rome.
Going on with my walk. Rain and cold weather were my closer friends that day.
----
From the internet:

The splendid fountain known as “the Tortoise” is a magical creation by Giacomo della Porta that admirably combines water, architecture and sculpture. It is also happily inserted into a corner of Rome that has remained more or less the same as when it was built. In 1570 a fountain should have been placed in the nearby ghetto in Piazza Giudia but on the intervention of the Mattei family it was built here in 1581, whilst the ghetto only got its fountain in 1591 (see the fountain in piazza Cinque Scole). Four large marble shells rest in the centre of a wide basin with a square base and concave sides, above which are four static bronze ephebes with their foot on the head of a bronze dolphin. The ephebes, all in the same position, raise their arm towards the overhanging marble shell. In the original plans another four bronze dolphins, perhaps the same ones that initially decorated the fountain in Campo de’ Fiore, should have been found where the tortoises are now, but were inserted half way through the 17th century after its first restoration.
