Parisian Mona Lisa

Upon returning from Paris, I wrote this post:
Romantic giraffe Eiffel and half-naked Notre Dame,
luxurious palace complexes (including a huge dinosaur bone in front of the faade!),
grandiose Louvre,
huge modern buildings around the La Dfense arch, and in contrast -
Montmartre, which has preserved the charm of ancient Paris,
crazy places like the Louis Vuitton Museum and the Georges Pompidou Center,
triumphal arches and... no less grandiose settlements of homeless people, as well as separate rookeries in different parts of the city center"" - (They struck me so much that I still remember them - the glass eyes of people and a rat running past) - luxury and poverty in one bottle
""We saw Paris. Lets continue to live""

Remember why Notre Dame is half naked?
Because in April 2019 it was on fire. We were riding on a Berlin tram then and were amazed - a vivid memory. We didn’t know that in a couple of months we would find ourselves in Paris. When the time came for the next vacation, chance determined the choice of country: it was on these dates that there was a charter flight there and back

How sorry I am that then I saved money on museums and didn’t go to the Louvre and didn’t see HER there - the Mona Lisa. She is so beautiful that even after centuries, wrinkles suit her! Do not spare money to touch the beautiful, realize your dreams while you are alive and do not turn into dust, as part of Notre Dame. My painting is meant to remind you of this
