A la pêche aux euros


We happened upon Monsieur, dangling a line in the water below the Daniel Buren's Les Deux Plateau at the Palais Royal.  Pourqoui??  Peter has a few words with him, and he explained he was catching euros on a magnet.  He did not share how many he's captured.

    Il est vrai que les rivières s'appauvrissent en poissons ! Alors pourquoi ne pas se reconvertir ?!...
    très jolis clichés...

    Gros bisous et tous mes voeux de bonheur pour 2013.

    Not nearly as messy as fishing for fish. And more profitable.

    Happy Christmas Virginia,
    Great images. Do you suppose he needs the Euros? I often spot newly retired people at the beach happily following their metal detector and hoping for a treasure

    Wow -- that's pretty clever but it must be hard time to go fishing for euros!

    I sure never would have thought to do that! I wonder how much money he has picked up doing that?

    This is funny, but maybe this man really needs the money, so, really not that funny!

    I'll have to bring a magnet and string next time I visit - perhaps I can pay for the trip!

    This is a wonderful photo of the human spirit. It is in the unknown story that is fascinating and the photo allows us to use our imagination. If Patience is a virtue this man wins the prize!!!!
