Hoche, le soleil et les pigeons

The evening sun and General Hoche with his usual pigeons... Read about the Versailles born general here and see the statue in its environment here.

Le général, c'est par ici et la place Hoche, c'est par là.

Lowell said...: Pigeons are no respecter of persons. Neither rank of office nor fatuous celebrity moves them in the least. Statuesque generals must become adjusted to being pooped upon!; 12/4/16 17:00
