Peopleing the Seine



The first time I saw them, I was caught off guard. I was on my bike, along the Seine, at night. Just past Notre Dame, I turned my head toward the river. Figures on a building. Enormous figures. Active sorts. At the time, I couldn't see through the dark enough to recognize they were the mask of a building under construction, so I just thought they hung there symbolically. I went back today and found their true purpose. They perform it well.

Great stuff as always. On that note - this seems like something you would really dig.
