It is, for one thing, a vision. Something you see, but still don’t believe.

“What the heck?” was my first thought, when I caught a glimpse of the bridge on a wintry day this December. Walking on the Quai Voltaire on the Left Bank of the Seine, I caught sight of the bridge through the trees.

Actually, looked like they’d been swarmed by fluttering copper butterflies.
