Pompidou!

Saturday Linda left first to visit an Urban Photography exhibit - "Street Sans Frontières" which I'll let her tell about. Then we met up at the Centre Pompidou. I had an adventure taking the bus with the other gray heads. My route from the bus stop took me down this street - take a a right at the mural and there was the Beaubourg plaza, Stravinsky fountain, and Centre Pompidou with all its innards on the outside. 

As you go up the outside escalators, the view changes until you're at Paris roof level and then above. 

The views of Sacré Coeur and Nôtre Dame were remarkable- you can see that Nôtre Dame has covered the roof. 

We wandered some of the galleries, but the building is a lot of the fun.  Here are a few of the pieces I spent time with and the sculpture garden on the 5th floor.  The first painting is a Kandinsky  the second is by a Russian woman named Natalia Gontcharova whom I'd never encountered before.  I'm ashamed to say I forgot to note the sculptor's names  

Of course, Linda spent a lot of time playing with the light and distortions of the building
