Window - Day 150 - Le Moulin de Fourges


This window was located at the Le Moulin de Fourges restaurant. It is told that the mill of Fourges was erected by the builders of the Hameau de la Reine (the Queen's Hamlet) near the Palace of Versailles, this replica of a village where Marie-Antoinette fancied herself a farmer, far from the Court constraints. We had lunch here after the tour of Giverny but before we reached Versailles. I just loved this window with the flower boxes and the way the color of the building contrasted with the other colors.

Love this shot- We were just there for lunch in late June 09- incredible setting and wonderful cuisine. I was looking for information on the web about this great restaurant (to caption my photos) and ran across your blog. Keep up the photography- bet you had as much fun as I did in Giverny!

My goal in art, photography and my writing is to express my emotions, thoughts, feelings, and occasionally opinions. I think color is the most important thing, along with sounds (music), taste and smells. Art should be something that heightens the senses, all of them. A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed....Ansel Adams Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas.
