There aren't a great many waterfalls in Versailles and VDP isn't even sure this qualifies! Being a winter lover, VDP couldn't resist a long walk in Marie-Antoinette's estate in the palace grounds on Saturday. The weather was gorgeously perfect, cold and sunny and... er... VDP took loads -I mean, loads- of photos! Now normally this would be a charming trickle of water under this old bridge which you had seen here in the summer way back in 2010! The shallow river was completely frozen this last weekend!
Il n'y a pas beaucoup de cascades à Versailles ! VDP adorant l'hiver, elle s'est empressée de faire une longue promenade dans le domaine de Marie-Antoinette samedi, dans le froid et sous un ciel bleu à se damner. Ces stalactites, c'est normalement un ruissellement charmant sous ce vieux pont que vous aviez vu en été, il y a fort longtemps, c'était ici en 2010 ! La rivière était une vraie patinoire samedi !

What a great place, lovely little island in the river and charming old bridge, like the waterfall picture as well. Hope you enjoyed the walk.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that it was frozen like that! You must have been really bundled up for your walk. I love those icicles.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of that bridge!
ReplyDeleteYou've had it cold, Ciel! Such a pretty bridge.

ReplyDeleteA fine series of photos. It's a beautiful spot. And I'd say any time you have falling water, you have a waterfalls! :)
ReplyDeleteNice grounds. I really like the icicles.
ReplyDeleteLove the little water fall, even if it is frozen. Looks like a fine winter day for a walk.
ReplyDeletesympa, tu as quand meme une sensation d'hiver. Ca rend bien les fontaines gelees

ReplyDeleteFroid mais soleil ... ça me va !
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr, still looks like a great place for a walk though.
ReplyDeleteWell, sure. If you're Marie-Antoinette, why not jus order your own waterfall to suit. :-)
ReplyDeletei think things will be freezing up here over the next few days, blah! beautiful photos!

ReplyDeleteIt's very hard to stop snapping when surrounded by inspiration Ciel, the first shot is beautiful, time stopped for a while.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to see this in winter!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very cool (no pun intended). I feel inspired to poke holes in the ice.
ReplyDeleteIt looks seriously cold.
