This panorama shows one of the colonnades in the Palais Royal. It is a bizzare place filled with truncated columns of various heights set among the grand architecture of the old palace. The picture tries to capture some of the feel of the place. It even looks weird in the satellite image of the Google map of Paris, where the column tops appear as lines of white circles.
