This is a detail of the dragon's basin in the palace grounds. The young Apollo kills the snake Python with a single arrow. I shall be away for a fortnight, I would have liked to schedule some posts but the functionality has stopped working since mid-June and still isn't fixed. See you in two weeks and enjoy July! Oh, and those who might be around could check out the picnic in the palace grounds on July 14, French National Day (or Bastille day I believe it is called) from 11:30 am. More info on the palace website which I can't seem to get to switch to English right now.---------------------------------------
Voici un détail du bassin du dragon dans le parc du château. Le jeune Apollon tue le serpent Python d'une flèche. Je m'en vais pour une quinzaine, j'aurais aimé pouvoir programmer quelques photos mais la fonctionnalité ne marche plus depuis mi-juin et n'est toujours pas réparée. A dans deux semaines, profitez bien du mois de juillet ! Ah, et pour ceux qui restent, vous pourriez avoir envie de participer au pique-nique républicain du 14 juillet près du grand canal ou aller écouter Christophe, à moins que vous ne préfériez les grandes eaux.

Wonderful shot, Ciel. The light is magnificent. I am frustrated, though, 'cause you keep showing all these beautiful things which we must have missed when we were there.
ReplyDeleteI guess we're going to have to make another trip!
Have a wonderful time. Hope you are healing well. Take lots of good photos! It just ain't gonna be the same without you on CDP!
I think scheduled posting is fixed. Mine went up at the proper time this morning.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wild, imaginative sculpture and well captured. Apollo looks like he is 8 years old. The sea monster looks like one of those mutant fish that live in polluted rivers.
We'll miss you but enjoy your holiday.
What a great photo. The light is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time away.
Wonderful looking sculpture. Have a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time on holiday. I'll miss your posts.
ReplyDeleteAn exciting and beautiful scene. I miss the grand mythology artworks, but the rabbis would never allow such a thing in Israel.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time away. Be careful should you meet any dragons or pythons. :)
Enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteWishing you are wonderful time away!!!
ReplyDeleteYour photo of this charming water feature is fantastic!

ReplyDeleteHave a happy holiday! I love your photo. and it is frustrating when you can't post in advance...sometimes it works for me and sometimes it does not!
ReplyDeleteUne photo rafraichissante avec ce bassin. Tres bonnes vacances!
ReplyDeleteromantique cette belle image, je te souhaite excellent vacances dommage que cela ne fonctionne pas pour les photos, assez curieux longtemps.
ReplyDeleteBonnes vacances!
ReplyDeleteThat Apollo fellow is right on target.
ReplyDeleteLe bassin du dragon... Ressemblant plutôt à un serpent de mer, je trouve le cygne plus effrayant... Une très belle lumière du soir, tu soignes ta sortie.
ReplyDeleteTu as sauté le mur et disparu dans l'ombre sombre du parc ? J'espère que tu n'as oublié ni ton arc ni ta flèche.
Bonnes vacances !
bonnes vacances en dragon
ReplyDeletele genou est remis ?
Enjoy your two weeks and we will be here when you return. MB
