GB: Paris Day Three: I'm Allergic to Something: Photo Set 3





Here are two sculptures we saw that looked cool. A family of deer and a lion standing over a dead ostrich. This is the second lion with prey statue we've seen. The gardens we went to on day one had a sculpture of a lion dangling a dead bird out of its mouth over it's cubs. Not sure if this is a theme in sculpture or a coincidence. I suppose the effect isn't the same if the deer is standing pridefully over its family with a mouthful of grass.

There were chairs scattered throughout the park for people to move and sit on. It kept people off the grass, so the lawn was well-maintained, but we were most impressed that these hundreds of chairs weren't stolen every night. In New York those chairs would either be gone or peed on by sundown.

There was one strip of lawn where people were allowed to sit. Two things to note from those pictures: Nobody is sitting in the shade, and nobody is disobeying the sign. All the other grassy areas of the park were empty
