Passerelle Léopold-Sédar Senghor

The girls and I went into Paris yesterday to see the 'Splendeurs et Misères' Exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay. This is taken just as we are about to cross the Seine, over the pedestrian bridge from the Jardins des Tuileries. The exhibition was very interesting - all about prostitution in Paris between 1850 and 1910. It ranged from art by many of the well known artists of the époque - Van Gogh, Tissot, Lautrec, Manet, Bernard ... to photos and videos of the era, which were very explicit! Only in France!

very nice shot

[Sally Ings]

Super capture. Is the girl on the right, who is totally engrossed in her phone, with you? Or was she just sitting on the stairs?

[Issi Bannerman]

@salza thanks Sally. No, the girl on far right was not with us!

[Sally Ings]

@jamibann thought as much but she really does add something to the overall effect of the picture.

Great capture

Great shot! Love all the angles and lines - lends itself to the b&w wonderfully

[Taffy]

Great b&w, and what a terrific sounding day!

Love this photo - and I recognise two of those faces, as well :-)

@parisouailleurs Merci Hélène - c'est marrant, puisque j'y étais vendredi de la semaine dernière, avec mes amies, et je n'ai même pas remarquée l'expo Hermès juste a côté! L'expo 'Splendeurs et Misères' au Musée d'Orsay est superb, si tu as le temps d'y aller!
