So it's September. VDP couldn't find rust AND ruins. Rust yes, ruins not really but decay would have been okay. Rust AND ruins proved impossible (though naturally she might find something tomorrow...) Anyway, so here's rust. Above, a cherub on the 'Water Buffet', one of Mansart's masterpiece fountains at Grand Trianon castle in the palace grounds. VDP had told you about it here (more to come tomorrow). Below, bikers arriving at the palace on 16 August in front of very rusty ironwork! To see all takes on the September 2014 theme of the City Daily Photo blogging community, click here! Happy September everyone!
Premier du mois, jour à thème dans la communauté des blogueurs City Daily Photo. Le thème du mois, c'est rouille et ruines. Bon, impossible de trouver les deux. Délabrement et rouille, oui. Mais pas rouille et ruine. Donc VDP a opté pour la rouille seule. Ci-dessus, l'un des chérubins du buffet d'eau, la merveille de Mansart au Grand Trianon que VDP vous présentait ici (et d'autres photos sont à venir). Ci-dessous, des motards arrivant au château le 16 août dernier devant de la ferronnerie très rouillée. Pour voir les interprétations du monde entier sur ce thème, c'est par ici ! Bon mois de septembre !
Very elegant rust. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks good even though it isn't ruin. Lots of rust and ruin here, I wouldn't know where to start.
ReplyDeletebon choix de cet ange, qui mériterait un petit coup de rénovation.
ReplyDeleteQuite a lively looking statue, even with the rust. I went for the ruin in my choice for the theme.
ReplyDeleteA Perfect choice for rust!
ReplyDeleteThat is some nice rust.
ReplyDeleteI went for rust too, Ciel! It's hard to find them both. Love your rusty cherub.
ReplyDeletelove your shots :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful examples of the theme.
ReplyDeleteLack of ruin is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYou did perfectly well with that rusty cherub! That works!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cherub with the measles. But still charming!
ReplyDeleteThe motorcycles have an almost rust color.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that "rust and ruins" has a certain meaning to native English speakers in certain countries, but it is lost on me. I had never even heard the phrase.
Love the cherub, the cascading water really 'freshens' it up!
ReplyDeleteVery arty rust.
ReplyDeleteRust without ruins is quite acceptable, and I really love the second photo!
ReplyDeleteI like how the rust has coloured the cherub.
ReplyDeleteLooks rusty to me. Job done!
ReplyDeleteI kind of took the idea as rust OR ruins. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your first shot, although I feel a bit sorry for the rusty cherub.
Armer kleiner Engel, der könnte etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit gebrauchen.
ReplyDeleteSchöne Fotos zu diesem Thema, Ciel !
Two beautiful examples today. Love the smiling cherub in the fountain and the iron work is beautiful too.

Difficile de ne pas être rouillé avec autant d'eau qui tombe !
ReplyDeleteNow there's a contrast, cherubs and bikers. I like the rust and the bikes. I should be riding mine now, but it's oppressively hot and humid (feels like 37C, yuk)
ReplyDeleteLove that cherub. I thought that things only rusted in humid Malta :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots for the theme Ciel! I am finally back to blogging again. My knee is allowing me to get out and get some pictures as long as I don't overdo it!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Love the contrast! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper theme day post...for some reason I began singing an old country song called "Rusty Ol' Halo."
ReplyDeleteBon la rouille en general on prefere l'eviter sauf au restaurant.
ReplyDeleteMais il faut avouer que parfois cela est du plus bel effet en photo meme en B&W.
I love your cherub. Finding either rust or ruin works for me. Let's not get too fussy.
ReplyDeleteSweet little rusty cherub.. this image would feel quite at home on Artsy Versailles Ciel :)
ReplyDeletesuperbe :)
