modern in ancien


Very sunny Saturday in Paris. Everything was bright, even too bright. You know how we can't see anything but white at the piste under the sun. The same thing was happening to all these gray toned buildings. For me, this isn't a great condition to take a photos. Anyway, surrounded by all monotoned same looking buildings, there are some modern designs such as this "ministere de la culture et de la communication" , no choice but catch my eyes by one second. In Tokyo, like I wrote a little bit before, as for a total city view, it is a mess of every styles as you can imagine. European, Western, Asian, old, new, high, low, big and small...everything. But here, everything is "organized". I know some Frenches think Tokyo is more interesting than Paris. I think this is one of the reasons why these people find Tokyo is more variety. And I also think that is one of the reasons why so many people find that Paris is beautiful...
