Tennis damage


Look at what a tennis ball can do on a Parisian building wall !

This is in fact the wall of a Sport-wear shop where the put these balls on the front to celebrate the Roland Garros French tennis tournament that started last Sunday in Paris. It one of the big sport events here every year and I think that shop had a good idea with these balls. Don't you think the cracks on the wall look real ?
More about the tennis tournament on Roland Garros website.

Ménilmontant

"Ménilmontant" is a neighbourhood in the 20th arrondissement located on a hill close to Belleville. This painted wall was created by artist Jerome Mesnager known for its "white men". The sentence "c'est nous les gars de Ménilmontant" is taken from an old song by Maurice Chevalier.
