Paris, Bercy Park, summer heat wave.

Paris is a city of life and architecture, of cultural diversity and traditions, stillness and movement. This image represents them all together in the presence of a young man practicing BMX on the steps of a fountain in Bercy Park. The location of Bercy has a wine warehousing/trading history dating back to Louis XIV, but has been redesigned under modern architects and landscape artists. The fountain is called the Great Cascade.
