The Louvre in Paris


The Louvre has many statues and paintings. My focus for the visit was statues. The Louvre is the perfect spot for capturing pictures of statues.

The Gardens at Versailles



The gardens designs at the palace were awesome. I didn't go out into the gardens because it was raining. I took many pictures of the garden from inside the palace.

Palace and Gardens of Versailles



This former hunting lodge of King Louis XIII was transformed by his son Louis XIV who enlarged it and made it a central point for his government and court. The ceilings are works of art to me. I was amazed at the vibrant colors and details of the ceilings.
