Where did I go today to see a wall like this? No, not Paris, in Charente Maritime.
It's one of the front walls of my local Leclerc supermarket! I went to print some photos in the automatic machine.
And also to get my tickets for an exhibition in Paris, CRIMES ET CHATIMENTS at the Orsay museum, that I bought on the Internet. It wasn't possible to print them at home, Click on the link and you can hear what Robert Badinter says about the exhibition. He explains that the Bible says the first man born on earth was Caïn who was an assassin. You can also see the guillotine that was last used in 1972!
I'm going to the exhibition in May but I bought tickets so as not to wait in the queue - I don't like queueing and in Paris it's a waste of time(une perte de temps).

Rusty skip : benne rouillée
By carolweb on Thursday, April 8 2010,
Today I just had to return to the rusty skip to see it again and take more photos; this time I got very near and took some close-ups.
Unbelievable!, No?
It look like a curious creature in the sea being attacked by a smaller one, doesn't it? My title for this one is "Leave me alone!" (Laisse-moi tranquil!)
The skip is blue and the rust shows where the paint has split (éclatée). I love modern,abstract art, and I love blue.
Here is another one:
The title is "Falling fire".
I took a lot of photos but I have to choose the best. Perhaps I will take a photo of the skip so you can see it. Or shall I keep the mystery?

Radishes and abstract art
By carolweb on Wednesday, April 7 2010,
I just couldn't resist this photo from the local supermarket, what vibrant colours!
I didn't buy any, I didn't notice the price and I didn't read where they came from. But I looked on Internet to find the nutritional value of a radish! No value you think? Well, read this:
Nutrition Facts and Information about Radish:
"Radish has excellent levels of copper, manganese and potassium. It is also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, zinc and sodium.

Unbelievable, no?
That's all supposing they're organic and not polluted by chemicals and you don't eat them with bread and lots of butter.
Tomorrow I'm going back to the shop to buy some!
After going to the supermarket I drove round the town to take some photos and I was very excited because I found my first rusty skip ( benne rouillée). :)) Explanations are needed here.
On the redbubble site the photos I prefer are in the group Abstract Urban Art (lien en bas de page): I like abstract art and these brilliant photos are often of rust and paint marks on skips. I finally found one today, a blue one. I took a lot of photos, here is one of my favourites
.
I didn't find a title, can you suggest one?
