Shop For This Camera

Also shot in the shopping centre Euralille in Lille (France) during the school trip. But this was probably the business centre part, as it doesn't really looks like a lot of shopping is going on here. I really think it's a strange picture and the moment I stood there with my camera I knew I wanted to shoot a picture of this French strangeness. Just kept it simple though. Probably could have done more with it, and I would have done it different if I would be standing there right now, but I wanted to share this picture anyway.

Oh, did I mention this is in France?

Yes, you mentioned it twice. French are just weird. :) Planting trees in a shopping mall. For god's sake, in the business district! >.<

I think it's a good idea to 'break' this really modern building style with some 'green' in the middle. But why this? Why?? Plant some nice flowers or something.

This just looks unfinished to me. Someone had the idea 'oh well, let's plant some stuff, I don't care what, as long as you can plant it, it's fine'.

What are those poles doing there?

Yes, it's a nice idea but you have to make it look natural, not like there was some weed growing on the land you want to build on, and you're too lazy to cut it, so you just build around it.

Maybe people put them there so that maybe other's won't notice the plants? :?

I think they wanted to create a 'natural' feeling. Like an inside garden. Didn't really work out, though I like the idea. If only they planted something normal.. I also quite like the building around it, so basically it's just only the plants they screwed up.

Yeah, it doesn't really feel natural.

Or maybe it feels 'too natural'. Maybe if they get rid of the poles it's less crazy. :P

The poles and the sign in it, and is it grown on a kind of wood chips or something? >.<

The woodchip thingies aren't the worst problem. I've seen that before. It's not annoying, at least, not for me.

annoying.. nice word :)
