Whenever we visit Paris I have always enjoyed walking from the Louvre through the Tuileries Gardens and emerging into the vast public space Place de la Concorde. It is one of the most impressive squares in Europe with its impressive classical buildings, its Luxor obelisk flanked by two monumental fountains.

This shot does not try to capture the space but one of the details you can see. This is one of eight large ornamental lampposts that were placed in the square in the late nineteenth century . They have a maritime theme in the Rostral style.Two gilded ship’s prows carrying a street lamp project from the surface of the green fluted columns. The gilded composite capitals are decorated with four mascarons. The top of the columns looks a bit like a lighthouse with a round pointed top. These beautiful columns add to the maritime flair of the square. They always remind me a little of giant cactus . The Eiffel tower is in the background, its a trick of foreshortening as its a mile and half from Place de la Concorde.

Looking at this scene with the old lampost and if you add lashings of snow and snowfall , could it not be found on the other side of the wardrobe ? All it would need is a passing fawn .
