“I love Paris at all seasons! But mostly Paris roofs in the autumn. I like to look out of the window from my fifth floor bedroom, There is a very nice perpective of cascading roofs opening up in front of my eyes. It reminds me of the feeling you get as a kid discovering the Christmas crêche, you are amazed and enchanted from your sight. When the weather is nice, Lucky me that I can sit on my balcony, in the sun and simply contemplate parisians roofs and chimneys.
The morning sunlight reflects on the tin roofs as a smooth caress, I can see some smoke coming out of a chimney, I imagine a nice couple, playing with each others hands, sipping some bordeaux wine while listening to Gainsbourg, ‘la javanaise’...I can see a window slightly open with some shirts hanging outside, giving some colors to the city and movement as Calders’ mobiles...now there is cat´s silhouette inside the other window moving its tail in a nonchalant´s way, just as a Parisian Babe. How funny to see a small wild plant coming out from another chimney, must have been some seed that found a cosy nest to give birth, lucky plant, can even see a better view than me from up there! What a Sky today, clear with just few clouds designing some calligraphic mysterious messages to me: ‘Goodmorning Paris! How beautiful you are this mornîng”. ‘
