Two pictures taken at Jardin des Plantes at the end of the fall. I used a new expert compact camera, the Panasonic LX5.

La Villette

The glass and steel dome called La Géode was designed by Adrien Fainsilber and it was opened in 1986.

The “folie du rond-point” is one of the several red-painted steel constructions disposed in a strict 120-meter point-grid. The follies were designed by Bernard Tschumi.

I continue the Paris parks series with these three new pictures from the “parc de l’Ile Saint-Germain” (same as last week). Unusually empty for a Saturday afternoon (it’s already late autumn), it was easy to spot these lonely figures…

The 64 water jets in André Citroën park are a lot of fun for children during the last days of summer.

I continue with another three shots from Central Park; the first two are views on Central Park South from the pond.
