Two statues, one the equestrian statue of Louis XIV pointing towards Paris, on 16 January with a not quite full moon. This was the day after yesterday's sunset!

Louis XIV qui pointe vers Paris, pas tout à fait la pleine lune. Le lendemain du coucher de soleil posté hier !

I love the blue sky and off white statues great photo!
ReplyDeleteYou are becoming more and more creative! Super photos, but the second is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteBon week-end et vous!
The first statue seems to be bathed in moonlight. And of course we now know Louis XIV was pointing at the moon, and not Paris at all. ;~)

Love the mood of both shots.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I imagine the first has a baseball glove on his hand waiting to catch the moon.
I am enjoying this series. The statue looks great under the moon. The color of the sky adds some ambiance.
ReplyDeleteWow these are amazing with that moon!
ReplyDeleteYou had the benefit of a very clear sky that evening, didn't you? I wonder how many statues Versailles has . . . These two are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful. I love the first one.
ReplyDeleteI love the moon being in both shots, the sky so blue. I'm reading "Les Miserables" - a rewrite by Jim Reimann. Such a different time.
ReplyDeleteGreat positioning of the moon on both shots!
ReplyDeleteTres joli moment pour prendre ces photos avec la lune avant que la nuit devienne noire.
ReplyDeleteAnd with the moon, nice shots!
ReplyDeleteLe roi soleil montre la lune.
ReplyDeleteCombien beau vos images de la lune sont, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteLa lune nous inspire, en ce moment! Normal, elle est si belle..
ReplyDeletePS: techniquement, c'est au Chanteclerc,qu'on prendra le thé. C'est le salon du Negresco. Mais commence à economiser les pepites, l'eau chaude y coute très cher..:)
I really like that second one showing the way to Paris.
ReplyDeleteThese are so evocative. Wonderful.
ReplyDeletePoint me to the or fly me to the moon.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot Ms. creativity. MB
Do you know the way to Paris. How wonderful to live with such great sculptures. I like the second statue.
ReplyDeleteThey both look like they're reaching out for the moon! Great photos, Ciel :-D
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely blue sky... day no more, still not all night. The details of the statues reaching for the moon show marvelously.
ReplyDeleteFrance is very good at commemorating events with wonderful statues!
ReplyDeleteLooks like they are playing a game of tennis with the moon.
ReplyDeleteYou really know how to make a girl long to visit Europe again, don't you?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I love the color of the sky!
ReplyDeleteThe first is spectacular!! Well done, Ciel.
