old town Nice, originally uploaded by bobsee.
This is a photo taken looking up from a junction in the old town of Nice. The old town has very narrow streets and very tall buildings. It struck me that photos of cities built in recent years aren’t so different from this and a line or two of T S Eliot popped into my head – from his Choruses from The Rock
When the Stranger says: “What is the meaning of this city ?
Do you huddle close together because you love each other?”
What will you answer? “We all dwell together
To make money from each other”? or “This is a community”?
(……looking up in Ikebukuro, Tokyo)
