I really love the ironwork in Versailles, stunning doorway.

This means horse's head, doesn't it? So, why does it have antlers??? I am not up on heraldic interpretations, I guess.

It's a fantastic gated doorway with great details above and wonderful craftsmanship on the metal gate!

I would never have put those two photos together, not sure which I like best. This is a wonderful view beyond the door, but the angle of your link is stunning.

Une belle entree et une jolie lumiere dans la cour interieure.

The outside is a bit dark while the private courtyard is flooded in sun. I want in.

Tres fine cette porte accentuee par la lumiere douce.

The back light makes the gate glow golden.

Yes, when I got back from my trip I was kind of surprised at just how many doors and windows I had shot while there! But you guys do doorways so good it was hard to resist!

It's a lovely entrance.

Kaori said...

Is this an entrance into the courtyard? Lovely!

Beautiful Horse's head entrance. Of course a horse's head in your bed is a horse of a different color entirely:)
