Paris Air Show ( not quite there yet ) . . .

As mentioned below, I went to the Paris Air Show yesterday afternoon, and as parking is never easy there, I parked quite a ways away in the community of Le Blanc Mesnil, across the main road that goes by Le Bourget Airport, and walked over to the airport entrance. Going down a little travelled side street there I was taken with the colorful murals that had been painted on the long wall of a social services center. Life for many people in the northern suburbs of Paris is not necessarily very easy, social services are sorely needed. I liked this first image of people helping each other up a steep slope. . . many people in these parts have a hard climb in front of them to reach even a minimum level of subsistence.

.

Questionable math skills here however . . .

Chaud devant !

.

Faces, some not looking too pleased about something ?

.

I liked this panel on a number of planes ; the girl on the beach, "pour les grands" - for grownups, not sure what is on her shoulder there, maybe a bit of seaweed ? But especially at the right side here, looks like a red UFO coming in for a landing, hopefully bearing news from other planets, letting us know we are not alone here on Earth. . . (I saw not a single UFO around the Paris Air Show, which one could imagine should attract them like flies !)

.

Open to all, all are welcome . . .

At the very far end of the wall, the contributing artists had signed their names and nicknames. . . I was secretly pleased to observe that among them . . . there was a Toad !
