Hats for coneheads! Great capture.

That top photo is brilliant, one of your very best. I immediately thought of it as a dramatic illustration on a book jacket.

Jack said...

That first image is superb. Well done.

Not only the light and shadows, but also the colors, the diagonals, the repetition, ...! Lovely shot.

Wonderful series, the first shot is quite magical... reminds me of a Toblerone chocolate bar ;-)

Die Schattenspiele im ersten Foto sind fantastisch!

Lowell said...

I'd call it the Dance of the Cones! Very nice. How'd you do that first shot? Looks like it was taken at night under floodlights. You could have posted that on Artsy Versailles!

Wonderful shots! This place is very beautiful.

Incredible first image Ciel.. you and I must think alike, I have a similar shot (not as good) of those very same conical shaped trees.
