“This pool of water is worth checking out. Situated across a tall building, it has simple attractions on its middle that should make you stop to check it while walking by. Check it out and you’ll find a funny looking white skull with blue eyes and red lips. The skull looks more like a clown than a scary figure. It is perched over some metal bar structure. If you happen to pass by the area as you visit Paris, don’t forget to take a picture of this skull like we did.”

“The streets of Paris never sleep. Just look at this shot that was taken at night. The neon lights are ever so burning. The billboards, street lamps, and store signs are all lighted up. There are simply too many colors around that you won’t be able to say that the night is deep and quiet. The shot is taken right in front of the entrance to the Pigalle underground subway. It is closed so it must have been really late at night.”
