Wonderful picture, Pierre, interestingly captured! You made me smile! The Arc de Triomphe looks like a lady who has gained weight. Plus, your PP made a fresh look like a lady after a visit to a makeup artist. Lovely artistic irony, beatifully done! I guess the monument to Alexander. I wonder if the monument will be visible after the completion of the building? Congratulations! Sincerely, Tatiana

The Arc is completed, Tatiana, just waiting to be legalized because the new authorities think it is too expensive to put down! Thank you for your imaginative review! PDE

You made me laugh, Pierre, an excellent reason for sarcasm! Probably my bad english is to blame. You did not understand my point. I had in mind the building under construction which partly hides Alexander's monument. Sincerely, Tatiana

There was no sarcasm in what I said, Tatiana! The Arc is also a building of some kind and I meant you war speaking about it! By the way, your English is perfect! PDE
