2005-01-24: ups and downs

Rue du Chevaleret, Paris (13e), France

Nearly every time I go to the Bibliothèque Nationale (site Tolbiac), I pass in front of this staircase, one of the older parts of a neighborhood that is in the midst of a massive transformation.
One thing I like about this staircase is that the sign on the left, "rue du Chevaleret," is the sign for the street on the bottom. The sign on the lower right is for the rue de Tolbiac, which is at the top of the stair.

Nikon Coolpix 5700

Beautiful composition, great lines. The graffiti "artists" who marred this should be publicly whipped.

La composition est soignée, les tonalité très homogène et plutôt douce.
un peu de vie "vibration" en bas
Joliement bien fait Brian

Excellent composition.
I like how you have cropped the people at the bottom.

Great composition, the splashes of red help the picture but it's a shame that there are people mindless enough to vandalise such a beautiful building.
