Lines + Reflections--Italie 2

Place d'Italie in Paris features (if that's the right word) a large shopping center--directly opposite the Mairie (town hall) of Paris's 13th arrondissement. The huge complex is called Italie 2 (I have no idea where Italie 1 or 3 might be); it includes stores, cafes, offices and residences.

This blip shows part of the approach to the main shopping area. There's a tower at least ten stories high with a great view over the Place diItalie (a big traffic circle). 3 years ago I took the elevator to the top and took pictures (unfortunately way before I could do blips). I didn't realize that I had sneaked by the security desk, and security has thwarted me ever since. :(
