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.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Ciel!
ReplyDeleteAmazing 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 ?
ReplyDeleteDid 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!
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I call horse sculpture. You just had to show me up, didn't you?
ReplyDelete;-))
I am amazed at the attention to detail in your architecture.
ReplyDeletebelles sculptures, on les imagine bien sauter hors des grandes ecuries
ReplyDeleteThose are the wildest and longest manes I have ever seen. Great image.
ReplyDelete"Bursting out" is very accurate. Fantastic!
ReplyDeletemais resten ils quelques chevaux dans ces écuries ??
ReplyDeleteJe vais essayer de suivre ton conseil et voir le spectacle
ReplyDeletePrêts à sauter de leur boxes.
ReplyDeleteIls 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!
ReplyDeleteIn those days they knew how to decorate. Cool!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous detail! They seem to be alive!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a stable? Amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful details. These horses look like they are jumping out of the stone.
ReplyDeleteThat is spectacular. I'm amazed nothing has broken off.
ReplyDeleteUne qualite du travail qui survit le passage des siecles!!
ReplyDeleteLove the close up view!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed. Love the architectural shots.
ReplyDelete@ Owen: yes, I have been to Chantilly, a long long time ago!
ReplyDelete@Jacob: you know, I hadn't even realised my faux pas. Thank you for making me aware of it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the detail! Thanks, Ciel.
