Le bassin de Latone


Leto fountain in the palace grounds: I showed it to you here at night and explained its allegorical meaning. Also here with a video.

Je vous montrais cette fontaine ici avec des explications sur sa signification allégorique ainsi qu'ici avec une vidéo.

Was für eine Freude !


In der Uni mussten wir einst eine Matheaufgabe rechnen mit Springbrunnen und wie hoch das Wasser spritzt, danke für die Erinnerungen.

I took photos of this fountain but from a distance away...I should have gotten closer, obviously. That's got to be one of the world's most beautiful fountains!

Les fontaines du parc de Versailles sont magnifiques. Je suis alle une fois a leur representation nocturne. J'aime le cadrage et l'angle de la 1ere.

Just looking at this cools me off, it's been unusually hot here of late.

That one is really lovely. I like the frogs too!

Wow, looks like a geyser coming out of her head. Way cool.

c'est superbe, j'imagine quand il fait chaud, tout le monde doit profiter de la fraicheur de cette fontaine (bon hier apres midi et soir, pas trop besoin)

Dave said...

It looks good either day or night. An impressive fountain.

Olivier said...

parceque le bruit de la pluie, qui tombait sur mon balcon, m'a bercé ;)

The first shot is spectacular, I have the clear sensation of water, almost hearing the sound!The fountain is a treasure, beautiful!
*** hey, thanks for remind me.Next time I will cook the delicious "Champagne Chicken", specially for my son this time. :)I'm waiting for him in July!
bisous

Cezar and Léia said...

By the way...I miss your posts in "Flavours"!
One question, Could we use white wine instead of Champagne in that recipe? Well...just thinking here.
But Champagne is perfect with that recipe ( and much more elegant ) :)

And...as I don't eat red meat, chicken is one great subject for cooking here, I love the recipe of "Chicken à la Ciel de Quimper",it's delicious!

I have only seen this without water!

Jack said...

Beautiful, Ciel. Your second shot shows me that I need to shoot fountains at the base, too. I usually shoot the top. Good work.

A beautiful fountain. I love how you're captured the water.

I like it better by day.

The night shots are great, but this first one is an oohlalaa!

Magpie said...

The first photo is wonderful! Love all the motion of the water.

The first shot is brilliant, Ciel. Chapeaux!

For a second, I thought the water was bursting from the statues head and I thought, huh. But then I see from previous posts that the water is coming from below...makes sense. This really is a fabulous fountain :D
