Description
The Chateau de Versailles has vast gardens (and I mean VAST)!!! They are laid out in a formal French style and are famed for their geometrically aligned terraces, tree-lined paths. But most notably, they are famed for the ponds.
I can’t tell you exactly how many ponds there are, but there I was told about 50 of them. I know that the Bassin de Neptune is the largest (the one that is situated in the main yard right in front of the Palace; shown in my image titled “Sculptures In T he Garden #2” and in my other image titled “Grand View Of The Palace #1” ).
The image shown here is taken from one of the ponds that I came across while walking one of the tree-lined paths in the garden closer to the main Palace building. I decided to frame the image with the statues and the sculptures rather than on the large pond itself in order to get a better sense of scale.
I hope you like this.

Greatly chosen fragment of these sculptural group, sometime we really need to see the things by the bringing attention just to the part, definetely this is the way of the artist, Hany! Moving scene!

Thank you so much Jenny; you are so kind to me. Really appreciate your visits and your wonderful support. Glad you like these details. Sometimes we overlook the details by looking at the general big picture and we lose the essence of a scene. So glad you like this sort of thing. Thank you.
