Le Havre, Harbor

Normandy - France

Prominent on the harbor shoreline, this modern art sculpture is built of multi-coloured shipping containers symbolising the importance of the sea to Le Havre. It was created in 2017 for Le Havre’s 500th anniversary celebration and has rapidly become one of Le Havre’s iconic sites. Built of two container arches, is called “the Eifel Tower of Le Havre” by the locals. (Acc. to Syndicat d'Initiative )

seems also like L'Arc de Triomphe, celebrating the success of marine transportation for the city...a wise POV to make the most of shapes and colours..

Amazing photograph shipping containers becomes a work of art.
A real eye catcher the colors are in harmony with each other.
Nice sharp work John.

That is a novel and monster size sculpture. The people do their bit for proportion. I like the low angle vantage point. "VV"
