Zeus

Zeus, the metal horse who rode down the Seine in Paris, at last year's olympic games. In Strasbourg for a few days. Photo taken from far away, as I went there 2 hours before opening... Well, no choice in that matter, I couldn't go back later. No idea why they called it Zeus, probably an acronym.

Unfinished. Politicians and promises...

Another photo of my trip to Paris, last week. You surely remember the big fire at Notre Dame, on April 15th, 2019, 6 years ago. The French president promised the reconstruction works would be finished in 5 years... Apparently not.
