Tuilleries Gardens - July 17, 2002

There is a fair all summer the entire length of the gardens.



Even the prizes are "foot" related

The Flume - rollercoaster with dunking

The gorilla moves. Note little girls in cart

The "platform" on the right is picked up and rotated


The Needle
I've never seen anything like this - It swuing around like a mad clock.


Was trying to get a shot of the blonde who was the sole rider

and who shamed these mecs into trying it. They screamed a lot.

Looking towards the Louvre

Elegantly dress older woman helping girl reload rifle!

Looking back at the Flume-Ride and the Platform

The Boomerang

Bcomes orthogonal to the ground

and not much "floor"

Pont des Arts
Two levels: quaiside and street side

View from the Pont des Arts
à la Cartier-Bresson

The gold tops of the posts of the Pont Alexandre were gleaming

Socail Party headquarters

Redoing the pavés

Typical Métro entry

The screen with announcements of interruptions is also typical.
