Faces of Paris

written by robin

It’s been a while since we had some fun!  So, let’s play.

Walking around Paris I always stop to admire the beauty around me.  I love doorways, facades and the little architectural details on the buildings.  While strolling to and from the Tour Eiffel, we walked along a street lined with lovely houses and apartments.  You know, the kind where you can tell they have a little money because everything is just so pristine.

I spotted this lovely gem adorning the top of a window…

And the best one….

And as I was taking this last shot, I noticed those little wires that seem to distract terribly from the beauty of the face.  "Why oh why would they do such a thing?", I asked myself.  "What in the world are they?"  And then, as if Edison himself switched on a light bulb in my head…I had an *ah-ha* moment.  I  figured it out. 

We don’t see these where I am from, but I am sure they are all over Europe.  I am sure that many people know what they are…but I am interested to see what you think, dear reader, just the same. 

What do you think they are?  Why are they there?
