chim chim chimneys


there are
 no
 water towers
 water tanks
 on the parisian buildings

 non

 they do have a lot of chimneys
 looking up is incredibly lovely

here's an interesting fact i learned
 see the irregular coloration
 of the bricks 
on that wall
 i nicely edited for you?

 when a chimney is in need of repair
 the
 entire
 exterior
wall 
must be ripped open
and
 rebricked
 when the repair is completed

 i took that photo our first day in paris
 among other places
 we walked to
 or 
took the metro to
 was
 paris' version of the highline 
which predates the nyc version
 by about 20 years
 its called
la promenade plantee 
or 
coulée verte
