Feb. 17, 2018: Sculpture on Paris Bridges

 

Paris has a lot of bridges, many of them quite unique in appearance—although there are a few I always confuse with each other. Many of them have quite elaborate decorations, such as the one above on the Pont Alexandre III, but I suspect that most of us take only a general glance at the bridges, and not at the decorative touches.

Here are a few I spotted while walking along the Left Bank, from the Pont d'Iena (above) near the Eiffel Tower. Then, below, a fierce figure on the Pont des Invalides.

And then, finally, the most elaborate of the bridges, Pont Alexandre III again, with lizards and toads playing on an elaborate urn.

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
