A PATCH OF BLUE

It's so good to see some blue sky after three months of gray, rainy weather. Looking up here, giant murano glass beads on aluminum strands form two bird-cage like cupolas over the much photographed Parisian metro entrance at the Palais Royal station. Designed by Jean-Michel Othoniel and installed in 2000, le Kiosque des Noctambules, gives a baroque feel to the Place Colette. 

Vocabulary
une bouche de métro:  a metro (subway) entrance
un(e) noctambule:  a nightbird
