Versailles


On the balcony overlooking the lagoon. This is shortly after being reprimanded by an officious-looking Gendarme for sitting on the ledge while we ate lunch.


Poseiden - god of fishes and stuff.


Elaborate fountain in foreground; statuary on either side of boulevard; canal stretching off into the nether parts of the garden.


Fountain seen from the other side; the female centerpiece figure is sorrounded by concentric rings of humans, frogs, and frog-humans all of which jet high arcs of water when the time is right.


The nude female in the centerpiece is accompanied by two nude brats.


The true masterpieces of artistry in this fountain are the frog-men.


Bizarre, grotesque, and fascinating sculpture of people entangled by a giant snake - obvious biblical reference.


Poseiden and his chariot being pulled from the water.


Snake nursing at the breast of Dianna???


Long shot through a garden path in Versailles.


Hall of Mirrors in Versailles itself.
