Of course at Palais Royal the most famous columns are the ones of Buren that I showed you many times. But there are also other nice ones - more classical - the ones that surround the whole building. I went there at sunrise and the light was absolutely fantastic. I took several shots and selected this one because you can see the people in the background which boosts the perspective effect. FYI, on the historical side, these columns were probably built around 1780, when a large real estate development turned this area into one of the chicest "shopping mall" of those times. Some things don't change...
Another beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteOh, mon ami! Now I know why we say we "feast our eyes on" something. This is gorgeous, and better than food.
ReplyDeleteThe architecture and the light are both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGoorgeous and quiet while this is so noisy a couple of meters further.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot and the area full of mythic cafes and rich remembers of the History of France.
Wow this is really fantastic Eric. Your photos continue to evolve even after all these years! So proud!

Magnifique! I'm trying to get my bearings on this one - are the Buren columns straight ahead?
ReplyDeleteWhat Virginia said! (Actually, everything she said—I am joining my Southern belles in Paris next month. J'espere bien te voir!)
