Today VDP is six years old. VDP won't blah blah on about how it seems like a lifetime since the first post on a wickedly cold winter day in 2009 but is looking forward to the next year! Once again, to thank all of you who take the time to visit, comment and interact with the author of this blog, VDP is having a prize draw. First prize is the above 10x21 cm (3.93x8.26") photograph by local photographer Versalis Vice whose first exhibition you witnessed on this blog about a fortnight ago (here and here). The photograph, titled 'alongside the canal' (i.e. the grand canal at Versailles palace) comes unframed and of course without watermark. Second prize is a cotton shopping bag sporting one of Didier Paquignon's paintings which were exhibited last year at Lambinet Museum. You had seen the exhibition here. Please take a moment to read the rules and leave a comment on this post before 23 hours 59 (CET) on 4 February. The draw will take place shortly afterwards (though perhaps not in the middle of the night!) Thank you again!
Aujourd'hui VDP a six ans. VDP ne va pas blablater sur l'éternité que ça fait depuis le premier billet, posté dans la froidure de 2009 mais a hâte de voir ce qui se passera cette année ! Une fois de plus, pour remercier tous ceux d'entre vous qui prennent le temps de vous arrêter sur ce blog, de commenter et d'interagir avec son auteur, VDP organise un petit tirage au sort. Le premier prix, c'est un tirage 10x21 cm de la très belle photo ci-dessus de Versalis Vice (qui vient d'ouvrir une boutique en ligne par ici), intitulée "au bord du canal". Vous avez récemment vu le vernissage de la première expo de ce jeune photographe du coin, c'était ici et là. Il s'agit, bien évidemment, des bords du grand canal du château de Versailles. Il n'y aura naturellement pas de filigrane sur la photo qui n'est pas non plus encadrée. Le second prix, c'est ce sac en coton sur lequel est imprimée l'une des toiles de Didier Paquignon. Vous aviez vu son expo au Musée Lambinet sur le blog l'an passé, c'était ici. Allez, il ne vous reste plus qu'à jeter un œil sur les règles du jeu et à laisser un commentaire sur ce billet avant 23 h 59 (GMT+1) le 4 février. Le tirage au sort aura lieu dans la foulée (quoique pas en pleine nuit !) Merci encore à tous !
Mazal tov on your anniversary! Thanks for all the work and love you put into every post!
ReplyDeleteWell, you really take the prize. Six years! Congrats on a job well done! I remember that stand of trees; in fact I took several artsy photos of it myself. :)
ReplyDelete6 ans ! what a maturité ! Je connais ce blog depuis beaucoup moins longtemps mais j'ai la chance de connaître la responsable de ces publications passionnées et passionnantes, une jolie rencontre qui a provoqué de jolis échanges ! Longue vie à ces fenêtres ouvertes sur les coins connus et les recoins moins connus de cette belle ville finalement assez méconnue et pleine de surprises !
ReplyDeleteCongrats, ciel!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary Ciel! I always enjoy your photos and am looking forward to many more. Stay warm!

ReplyDeletecongrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 6th year. I look foward to your posts. They always transport me to this wonderful place you call home.
ReplyDeleteSix years! Congratulations, Ciel. You do not seem to be slowing down at all, as a blogger, although you do have a nasty habit of taking spills that slow you down, as a person. Be careful in year 7, OK? (Love your friend's peaceful photo.)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you for you dedication and hard work. Having gotten to know you a bit, I see how your photos reflect your love of your town.
ReplyDeleteSplendid photo, by the way. It looks like a line of very trim sheep standing at attention.
It's been an impressive six year run. I think I discovered your blog in March or April of 2009. I lurk and look more than I comment but I've enjoyed your blog over the years.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!

ReplyDeleteThat's B I G achievement, well done, congratulations and Happy Birthday/Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteGratuliere, Ciel ! Sechs Jahre sind eine lange Zeit, die meisten Blogs haben eine viel kürzere Lebensdauer.
ReplyDeleteNun beginnen für Dich die nächsten sechs Jahre :-)
Mach so weiter, mit viel Ausdauer und Fleiß wie bisher, ich freue mich schon auf viele weitere schöne Fotos von Versailles!
Six années! Félicitations mon français ami.. excusez mon français :) I still love my Versailles shopping bag and use it all the time! Looking forward to many more gorgeous Versailles visions Ciel.
ReplyDeleteSix years is a fantastic achievement. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteFrom me also, congratulations on the 6 years. A blog like this is a massive commitment. The prizes are most generous ...
ReplyDeleteI just passed 6 years also. Congrats to us! I too love this photo of the canal.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your blog! We are only a couple of weeks older...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on six years! I hope I win the bag this year. I was so jealous of Grace in Perth last year. :)
ReplyDeleteSix years--oh my. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI think I've been around blog land around the same time.

Well done! Je suis de 3 mois ton cadet de blog. Vais-je donc jamais te rattraper? A une 7eme!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love reading your blog, I think about my visits to Versailles every day and your blog keeps my happy memories alive. Those trees are fantastic! Lots of love and keep blogging! Jane x
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! That is an accomplishment for sure. Here's to six more!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and keep working for many years ahead!
ReplyDelete@ Olivier : rhooo mais tu me donnes des idées pour les autres jours ! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I don't know how long I've been visiting you regularly, but enjoy it immensely and I learn a lot about Versailles.
ReplyDeletePlease don't think that was a shameless suck up just to win ;-)
@ Wayne: of course not!
ReplyDeleteWell... six years, VDP... so you're a few months older than me... but you kept it up, while I had to reluctantly bow out (for a while?)... I had to sign in just to come congratulate you on your perseverance. I know it can be a roller coaster of a ride, this regular posting. May you keep enjoying the ride and gifting your followers with lovely images of Versailles, such a magnificent twon! Cheers! À la vôtre!
ReplyDeleteI will never be able to see Versailles, but, through your eyes, the romance of yesterday and today lives on. (The closest I get to Versailles is teaching my senior students about the French Revolution.) Congrats on your your blogging milestone.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday à lady S pour ses chateaux ses rues ses petits resto et son humour toujours au top
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!:)
