The Dizzying Beauty Of Parisian Floors Will Inspire You To Watch Your Step

Don't be surprised if they stop you in your tracks.

Floors. You've seen them. You've walked on them. You've barely noticed them. Why would you? They're floors, after all.

Germany-based photographer Sebastian Erras, however, noticed. He observed how certain tiles, when arranged geometrically, form a flattened field of identical, sharp-edged flowers. Or a hypnotic grid of selfsame angular shapes, yielding a labyrinth that stumps you before you start. Erras captures these sorts of staggering floors, the ones that sneakily stop you in your tracks, on his Instagram Parisian Floors.

See some of Erras' most compelling snapshots of the ground below, below. Don't be surprised if they stop you in your tracks.
