Luxembourg Palace, a photo from Ile-de-France, Nord

Photographer's Note

My last day in Paris was also busy. On the way fro Panteon to Musee de Cluny I went for a while to the Luxembourg gardens. I was very lucky with the weather. It was very cold but sunny day. You can see here the reflections in ice. I have shown earlier the frozen fountain here.

Luxembourg Palace was originally built (1615–1645) to be the royal residence of the regent Marie de' Medici, mother of Louis XIII of France. After the Revolution it was refashioned (1799–1805) by Jean Chalgrin into a legislative building and subsequently greatly enlarged and remodeled (1835–1856) by Alphonse de Gisors. Since 1958 it has been the seat of the French Senate of the Fifth Republic.
On the south side of the palace, the formal Luxembourg Garden presents a 25-hectare green parterre of gravel and lawn populated with statues and large basins of water where children sail model boats.

Witaj MAlgo,
great the panoramic view of Luxembourg Palace with the warm light of the day to enhance the beauty,the clarity as the details of it.The melted pieces of the snow complete perfect this brilliant scenery.

Hello Malgo,

You had the perfect day for such a beautifully detailed shot!
The cold weather has frozen the water, giving an icy surface that has acted like an enormous mirror, reflecting the golden palace and surrounding it with the deep blue sky. I like how the surface debris explains the icy covering!

The palace itself is glorious in its symmetrical composition and its sun-gilded facade.
What a day and what a picture!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Ciao Malgo,

J'ai eu le plaisir de l'avoir comme voisin pendant une semaine ce très beau palais du Luxembourg et c'était le bonheur en été. Ici de le voir ainsi en double sur la glace c'est un ravissement.

Amicalement

Excellent shot of the Luxembourg Palace. You took good advantage of the frozen water. A fine symmetrical composition. I really like the golden brown leaf in the bottom right corner. The colours and light are beautiful too. Excellent! TFS.

Ciao Malgo
vedendo questa foto mi sono ricordato del Palazzo sull'acqua di Varsavia.
Bello il palazzo e belli i colori della foto che, grazie al riflesso, si dividono in parti quasi uguali gli spazi del fotogramma.
Saluti
Carlo

PaulVDV (62978) 2017-02-01 16:58

Hello Malgo,
From your point of view the fountain seems to be huge. Its vast surface reflects beautifully the blue sky and the warmer tones of the facade of Luxembourg Palace.
The foreground is littered with pieces of ice.
Beautiful light!
Best regards, Paul

bukitgolfb301 (54014) 2017-02-01 19:21

jemaflor (147248) 2017-02-01 23:59

Hi Malgo,
Beautiful with this light and these reflection on water and ice, pleasant warm light well captured.

adramad (73006) 2017-02-02 7:12

Hi Malgo
Great this POV, captured in the foreground all the surface occupied by the pond, with which the wonderful palace, gives the sensation of being at the edge of the water, precious reflections also.
A nice color, in these natural tones.
Also both the sharpness and the lighting are great.
Well taken photo. I like it
Enjoy a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

ikeharel (113453) 2017-02-02 10:44

Thanks Malgo, you would be surprised if I say that still had not shown many of Edinburgh beauty and intriguing locations - and still I feel there was much more in this intriguing town.
With connection to your photo, I can say almost all the same for Paris, beautiful different sight of this palace under cold but crisp shining sunshine. Ice floating added nice textural objects on this pond.
Fine taken from that POV.
good night,
Ike

Hello Malgo,
Just as I thought, the reflection pool is frozen but still reflective - an excellent combination. It gave you the opportunity for this spectacular photo!
