Thanks, Mossie. Incidentally, the circles are millstones.

Even when streets are completely rebuilt in Paris, a layer of paving stones goes under the asphalt.

That is crazy. The old paving stones were asphalted over to stop the revolting populace tearing them up to throw at the police.

That is a myth. Actually the city just accelerated its asphalting of the streets after the May 1968 incidents.

Fascinating. Your photo could have gone in the patina thread, too.

Kerouac - I would dearly love to know where ( in which gardens) you took that photo of the blue bike piled high with bricks( we call them 'air bricks') Just off Champs Elysees maybe, down Ave Gabriel??
Bixa - I was fascinated to see all those 'grinding' stones. I thought only in Africa would people grind their own corn to make a porridge!

Actually, it was right in the middle of the central alley of the Tuileries -- obviously just temporarily. I seem to recall that it was by an Indian artist, who probably saw something really close to that arrangement being used for real transport of bricks in an Indian city.

Thanks Kerouac - much appreciated. I am always wanting to know where in Paris a photo was taken.

These are all fabulous. #16 is especially hauntingly beautiful. Where was that taken K2?
