Andre, how does the bike tilt to the left past vertical while the prop stand pokes into the snow on the right? The snow doesn't look so deep n hard as to hold the whole affair upright, and the wheels aren't very far into the snow. Is this (i) just a trick of perspective (which one might expect from a painter); (ii) not a prop stand at all, but a sturdy piece of cord hooked into some hidden anchor 'neath the snow; (iii) further evidence that the French know stuff that the rest of us never knew existed; or (iv) a modern echo of Napoleon's habit of overturning established laws & conventions, in this case that of gravity?
