Musée Metropolitan

Montmartre Metro : Paris, FR

I'm making a bit of a stretch with the title and paying homage to Paris as a city of world-renowned museums and art and an equally well-known transit system, the Paris Metro. Today's photos feature art that can only be enjoyed if you're willing to climb the stairs from the depths of Paris' deepest Metro station to the exit up top at Montmartre. If we'd taken the elevator, we would have missed these. Fortunately (??), the elevator was closed for maintenance, so we had to hoof it. I'm glad we had no choice.

Parisians, Part I

Gentleman in the Pte. Clichy Metro station : Paris, FR

Paris is a great place to people watch. These are just a few examples of Parisians I photographed. I'm also adding the gent in the above photo to my 100 Strangers series. He was on the other side of the Metro platform at Pte. Clichy, so I couldn't get his name, but he did wave at me after I took his picture.
