The things that look like pots, aren’t really pots, they are vents made of pottery to resist heat. Have you ever seen an outdoor chimney for providing heat or fire for an outdoor patio? They are often made of a similar pottery.
If anyone is interested in the site I found this scene in here it is. http://aerialphotoimage.com/360/Paris/EiffelTowerAerial3.html
If you think this shot is something, the one on this site will absolutely blow your mind. It is a complete 360 degree view of Paris. If you pan to the right you will see 2 little cameras hanging out in mid-air. If you click on them it will take you to another part of Paris so that you can see it from a different perspective.
And YES – those clay “pots” are chimneys!
I went & looked again. Notice the first pictures were far away, then everything got closer & closer with the camera. I also noticed the clay pots as everyone else did. Different, but they have a purpose someway, somehow.
WoW!! I thot the city was never going to end! It kept going & going & going…..!!!!!! It seems Europeans are so much different than us Americans. But thats ok, too. I have a niece who has gone to school in England, near the Scotland border, then to France to be a nanny.
I think the logical explanation for the clay “pots” are that they are probably heat-resistant vents for furnaces and water heaters. Each apartment or business probably has several, like we have in our homes today made of sheet metal for heat or vinyl for vents. Just guessing.
Okay . . . I’ve googled it and what I have found out is this is a photo of Paris. The beautiful old church in the back ground is Basilica of Sacre-Coeur Montmartre. Paris, it seems, it a HUGE city. So, I agree with Bev, much too crowded for me!
