La Tour Jean-Sans-Peur (Weekend Reflections # 386)
Paris, France (John the Fearless Tower) The tower, the sky and the other buildings were reflected in a shop window across the street (Rue Étienne Marcel). This one almost fooled me. I had to double check to make sure it was a reflection. :-)
By my standards all of the buildings in this reflection are old, but the tower in the middle is very old. It was built in the early 1400s. I've walked passed it several times over the years but I haven't been inside.
Happy Reflecting!

I did think you might be "cheating," but found some faint but superimposed images. Very nice perspective. Funny that in the US our idea of "old" buildings might be those from the 1600's - 1800's. I doubt that anything survived the 8 years after Columbus in the 1400s and not much from the 1500s either!
Beautiful old buildings, James and perfect reflections! It pains me hearing what Paris in the last years is going through:( Although through the centuries they had a history or riots, overturns, etc. there.
Great reflection but I would have preferred something that shows us that it is a reflection like a little piece of window frame or little piece of the facade.
Such a clear reflection!
ReplyDeleteAn astonishing clear reflection of these lovely Parisienne buildings and ancient clock tower!
ReplyDeleteSuch clarity - I was hunting for the reflection!
ReplyDeleteMust have been a very clean window :)

ReplyDeletecool to be so unsure. That means a very good reflection :)
ReplyDeleteUnbelieveable that this is a reflection! Amazing picture!

ReplyDeleteObviously a reflection (hey, it's yours!), but if I didn't know I wouldn't know—you know? :~}
ReplyDeletewhat a clear reflection...and that is a marvellous tower!
ReplyDeleteoui, cette tour est très vieille et c'est bien de la conserver, et qu'elle soit encore en harmonie avec son entourage.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend

belle vue sur la tour Jean-sans-peur qui m'a fait relire à l'instant l'histoire de ce personnage historique ;)
ReplyDeletebon weekend
Had to look twice to see it is a reflection, excellent photo
