So, I was all set to get photographs for yesterday and something came up. No Sunday photos. BUT, I feel that today’s post makes up for it. I went to this monument near the Eiffel Tower that’s full of symbolism and captured some of that to share, while also getting some of the background of the monument and symbols from a friend of mine. This evening, I made it out again to the open-mic poetry/whatever readings about 100 meters down the road. Fun times. A visiting friend from Amsterdam (originally from South Africa) who was delayed because of a rail-worker’s strike in Belgium, wrote something just to read tonight. Without further delay, here are the photos. Enjoy!
In the photo below, you can see the series of small openings in the monument – this was taken through the larger one in the middle. It’s quite dark inside, especially with the angular, afternoon light, but I still managed to get this shot by estimating the distance to the door on the other side and manually setting the focus. The door is secured, so you can’t even see what all is inside. Only what you can glimpse through the holes.
