Description The view here was photographed heading north from Jaurs towards the area of the Parc de la Villette which has been established on each side of the canal. The boat is about to pass between the two 'magasins gnraux' of the 19th arrondissement, the one on the right being the older and now refurbished, the one on the left a modernistic reconstruction of the magasin that was destroyed by fire in 1990. These magasins, built between 1845 and 1853, had served originally, I believe, as storehouses for grain and flour, but the old one is now turned over to offices and studios and suchlike. The more modern is home to a youth hostel, hotel and restaurant. Beyond, one can see the last draw-bridge in Paris, the pont de la rue de Crime, about to be raised for the boat
Andrew McRae, Melbourne, Australia Member Since October 2008 Artist Statement Greetings, all!
I call myself an amateur enthusiast photographer; it seems to have a more formidable ring to it than enthusiastic amateur. I've shown a lot of my travel photos on Trekearth (at www.trekearth.com/members/macondo) over the last few years and managed to sell a couple to casual online passers-by. Being semi-retired, I have a bit of spare time on my hands for photography. I used to be a teacher, but it triumphed over me a few years back and I have vowed never to darken the door of a classroom again.
I hope you like the photos that I upload to this site.
Andrew
