The groundskeepers must keep very busy, it is impeccable.

These photos make me really want to visit the Palace at Versailles. Do you think positive thinking can help me win the lottery so I can travel there? :)

What a sumptuous sight! Love the rich light and equally rich flowers:)

Beautiful sight indeed! And what a terrific capture -- as always! Have a great week, Ciel!!

A beautiful scene and some great light!

With lots of room for children to run. Just don't try to leap the box hedge.

Beautiful gardens.

Jack said...

This is pretty. The hedge looks like it was cut with a ruler. And, yes, the golden light is wonderful.

What a beautiful place. Is that you running in the center? Oh you are taking the picture. MB

Superb light and composition.

Thank you for your comment regarding the pre-Columbian jaguar metate that I posted on my site. We went to the Musee du Quai Branly during a brief stay in Paris in February and it was indeed impressive, both its collections and its design.

Looks even better when enlarged Ciel, beautifully lit by mother nature.

This is such a restful and beautiful place. I would love to back when it was warm (it was freezing when we were there!)...
