on the side wall of a non-descript apartment building friendly faces of various hues and ages loom over me... they may be residents of the neighbourhood, they may be well-known personages [I think I recognize a couple - Piaf? Chevalier?]...they animate the bland architecture and they make one lift one's gaze from street level to make eye contact with their stacked and larger than life visages...

Bibendum...Pierrot the Clown...
Hi Gina, good to see artists decorating public walls like this... Love your new header photo, but goodness, what is it !?! A Kontiki raft for sailing across the Luxembourg Garden Basins ???
Thanks, Owen!
Hmmm...new header photo...I'm still not sure about it?? [the "ship" was a collaborative project with thousands of children contributing all those dangly shiny bits, and in the making for 20 years!!...finally to be launched in the Basin a few days from when I took the photo!
Trying a "quieter" new header pic today...need some help deciding!!
Have been around... but missed this one! Too bad! Yes, Maurice and Edith are there!
