Forgotten hoops, Paris / Aug 10, 2008 / 6:50 am

Two blocks behind the Eiffel Tower I found those two strange courts. I don’t really understand why they’re abandoned considering the localization,tourists passing and proximity of the subway stop. Anyway its always cool to discover a playground, a kind of secret spot for photo shootings.

    looks like the kind of place that attracts all sorts of unsavoury characters, but is all the more interesting because of it. reminds me of ‘The Pit’ in west london, a small court with walls on all 4 sides covered in graff, in the shadow of trellick towers council estate.

    I love little places like this. I especially love finding hidden courts that arent well known, yet are frequented by some ill players.
