Here are a few architectural impressions of my own.
Pretty funky
Remind me which city I'm in
Wondering what it is
Another eye catcher

An amazing reflection

Impressions of the 19ème arrondissement
The 19th arrondissement is one of the least sought after addresses in Paris. It is in desperate need of a makeover.

Great pictures, thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteThe "wondering what it is" object is a jew orthodoxe sign, a " hanoukkia "

And for the special "Y" shape, we know it belongs to the Loubavitch orthodoxe mouvement. It could be the "Mikvah Loubavitch - Flandre",

The Mikvah is a place to take a bath used for the purpose of ritual immersion in Judaism
