My photo blog

It was wonderful (merveilleux) weather in Paris and my photos have lovely blue sky - reflections again.



This is the Géode at the Cité des Sciences at La Villette, a wonderful place to take photos. You can go inside THE GEODE and watch films on a giant hemispheric screen.



This is a reflection of a modern art sculpture placed in a fountain pool in the TUILERIES GARDENS, also a good place to take photos, of quite a different nature. These gardens were created by Catherine de Médicis in 1564, are full of classical statues from the 19th century, but there are some modern ones too; there are two bronzes by Paul Belmondo. this week there were 30 modern works of art in the gardens as part of the FIAC (Foire International d'Art Contemporain). Some artists placed their work in the trees or in the water.

Parisians and tourists love to walk there or sit and rest round the fountain pools. It's a large open space where you are surrounded with (entouré de) beauty.
