WW - Fountains
Fountains at Versailles. This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
Wonderful images, Jams. I love the fountains at Versailles. I was lucky enough to be there one year on the day that the fountains were turned on for the season. First there was an outdoor chamber music concert, and then just as the musicians began playing Vivaldi's "La Primavera," all the fountains came on at once! Unforgettable.
I love Versailles - and you have captured it so well! Thanks for sharing! And I also want to thank you for all your nice comments on my blog - I really appreciate your support!!!
Well, I wish I could say I love Versailles, but alas I have yet to go there. Those fountains are gorgeous though, makes me wish I had the traveling cash now! Your images are great, thanks for sharing!
Wow! I love seeing fountain photos... Happy WW! Thanks for dropping by.
