On this 4th of July, here's a view of Avenue of the American Independence with the palace looming above in the background. The treaty of Versailles, one of the treaties of the Peace of Paris, was signed in the city on September 3, 1783.

ReplyDeleteoh, to be a cat leaping from roof to roof in this neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteLove all the roofs and chimneys. Wonderful photo, Ciel.
ReplyDeleteI would really like here a street with a name like that!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Perth, I do wish we had some building such as these that have been around since 1783, lovely with the palace peeking over the tops of the houses Ciel.
ReplyDeleteSome fine roof lines here.
ReplyDeleteImagine looking out your window and seeing the Palais Verssailles. Love the rooflines and chimneys. Looks like a great street to honor the American Independance.

Thank you, it's a lovely shot. You have such interesting roofs.
ReplyDeleteI don't think very many people in this country realize the important part France played in our War of Independence! A crucial war.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well...will be back soon.
That's a lovely shot - with lots of chimneys.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful urban shot; I like the contrast between the palace and the more common buildings, and I also like the wonderful street lamp!
ReplyDeleteA very charming scene, Ciel. Your composition is quite skillful. This is a very well-taken photograph.
