Pharmacy Green, Reflected
Pharmacies in Paris all have a bright blinking green beacon to distinguish them; it cycles through a seeming endless series of patterns. This one is on Avenue d'Italie at the Tolbiac Metro station (a yellow display at its exit is visible on the left). Less than a hundred meters directly behind me is the scene in my 31st January blip, captured in the opposite direction. Another reflected greenish light (actually cyan) from five years ago is here, on Rue de Tolbiac).
Today's museum visit was to the Musée du Luxembourg, for an extensive exhibition of Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904). He's best known for superb paintings of flowers, but the show also displays his great gifts as a portraitist.
