Photographer’s Note

Or freedom with ground…
Photo catch yesterday at the time of the restoration of the column of the Of Gironde ones.
The statue at the top of the column which represents "the spirit of freedom" was descended to be restored.
The column of Of Gironde is a remarkable point on the place of the Quincunxes, set up between 1894 and 1902 with the memory of the deputies of Gironde victims of the Terror which followed the French revolution, this 43 height meters column supplied with a superb fountain throne in full heart of the city, on one of the greatest places of Europe. Its top is overcome by a statue of "Freedom breaking its irons" of the Dumilâtre sculptor.
