Darkness behind. The frame edge shrinks, and you are safe. Stacked combs, a symbol of financial success, have replaced the magical acrobat abeille (is this another piece of trickery, invisible in the sunlight?). This vision of wealth is transient; the combs will be gone in a moment, off to storage, and then on to the market. A puff of fumée passing over the paysage , backlit by a vanishing soleil , is the only hint left of the original energy harvested from the abeille , now being sent abroad in tins, for breakfast use in other countries.
