Last week, I first posted a picture of the royal stables. Here is a detail, these are the horses bursting out from above the main portal.-------------------------------
La semaine dernière, je postais une photo des écuries royales. En voici un détail, les chevaux jaillissant du portail central.

They do look like they are about to jump out at you. Marvellous carvings.
Hello dear Ciel!
Amazing shot! I'm always fascinated with this subject, I mean "horses"! :-) and of course "architecture details"
Kind regards from Brazil

Hi Ciel, this looks like the Horse Museum in Chantilly . . . have you been there ?
Did a little piece about Wisteria (a few posts down now) for you... take a look if you have a minute ...
Best, Owen
These horses look as if they are about to gallop off down the street...they're incredibly vibrant!
Now that's what I call horse sculpture. You just had to show me up, didn't you?
;-))
I am amazed at the attention to detail in your architecture.
belles sculptures, on les imagine bien sauter hors des grandes ecuries
Those are the wildest and longest manes I have ever seen. Great image.
"Bursting out" is very accurate. Fantastic!
mais resten ils quelques chevaux dans ces écuries ??
Je vais essayer de suivre ton conseil et voir le spectacle
Prêts à sauter de leur boxes.
Ils annoncent le programme.
Ils veulent retrouver celui de Louis XIV qui s'est repointé en face ?
Wow. If I ever had that kind of hairstyle, it must have been ages ago!
In those days they knew how to decorate. Cool!
Gorgeous detail! They seem to be alive!
And it's a stable? Amazing.
Beautiful details. These horses look like they are jumping out of the stone.
That is spectacular. I'm amazed nothing has broken off.
Une qualite du travail qui survit le passage des siecles!!
Love the close up view!
Very nice indeed. Love the architectural shots.
@ Owen: yes, I have been to Chantilly, a long long time ago!
@Jacob: you know, I hadn't even realised my faux pas. Thank you for making me aware of it. ;-)
I love seeing the detail! Thanks, Ciel.
Excellent details!
Un magnifique exemple de haut-relief...
