Art is the window to man’s soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within. ~Claudia Johnson
Through a window at Palace de Versailles , France, one can see the gardens, sculptures, pools and the vast grounds.

What a beautiful view of a lovely sunny day…
Thanks Maggie! It was sunny and hot! In fact, it was in the mid-90’s! But my daughter and I loved it. (this was also in spam)
Excellent work Judy 🙂
Thank you, Creative Jake!
Fantastic view through the window/doorway. 🙂
Thanks, Eliz!

That’s such a ‘clean’ image
Nothing out of place
Not even a fluff of a cloud
dare to show face.
The trees the bushes
Trimmed to perfection
Everything in their place
Playing the ‘perfect’ role
The view through the window
Such a sight to behold
🙂
Amira….so typically YOU…answering me in your eloquent way! I love it! “Nothing out of place…the trees the bushes, trimmed to perfection.” That’s exactly how I remember the gardens of Versailles! They are lovely…. And so are your words! Thank you!
AAAhhh …. France. This is a nice image. It must be a
wonderful vacation memory, too.
Hi Isadora….It is a wonderful memory. My daughter and I went to Paris several years ago, before she was married. We had so much fun! Lots of laughs and two weeks of learning about the City of Lights. Couldn’t ask for more!
Beautiful through and through Judy!
Very clever, Margie! I like the way you said that! Thank you!

So beautiful as are so many places in France. Love the view through the window.

Nice one Judy. Paris…. beautiful place.
Thank you, Jim. One of my favorite places! (but I haven’t been to Scotland yet!)
Great shot, Judy! I got reminded of the trip we took there many summers ago. The gardens were simply stunning. 😉
I agree, Malou! Even in the oppressive high 90 degrees F temperature…..the gardens were just gorgeous. Loved the sculptures in the gardens too! thanks!
Pictures like this make city life where I live look depressing! You made my depressing day 🙂
Great capture.
Best Wishes
Todd
Thank you, Todd! But wait…you live in a gorgeous city! I’d love to live there!! It’s all relative, isn’t it? 😉
Thanks for your compliment!
I noticed many of the weekly challenge photos this week were “through” doorways of beautiful locations around the world on the blogs I follow. I enjoyed it so much, especially this beautiful view of the gardens of Versailles.
Elisa
Thank you, Elisa! I do so love France!!
nice view 🙂
Yeah, would be fun to live there, right? 😉 Thanks, joshi!
Such a magnificent palace! I’ve been fortunate to have visited Versaille four times and every time when I take the palace tour, I always pass by this window 🙂
Wow…4 times! That’s amazing. Wow..I like that you’ve looked out that window too! 😉
Can you believe when my daughter and I went, the Hall of Mirrors was being renovated? grrr.
Part of it was there…but not the rest. What are the odds? lol

This is a lovely through image! what a wonderful sight to see through this window! Well captured
Thank you, Mezza. I do love that palace! Wish I lived close to it! 😉
It would be grand wouldn’t it.
Ahhh, yes, Mezza. To look out that door/window every morning, with cup of tea in hand. I’d go for it! 😉
Very nice. I love Versailles; it is awesome place and worth for visit when in Paris.
Yes it is…I love it there! Thanks, Sartenada!
I remember looking at that window as well. It was my first glimpse of the magnificent grounds. I was there in October and it was unbelievably hot and humid (28 deg C with 94% humidity). We took the little train down to see Marie Antoinette’s charming Hamlet. It really is an amazing place!
Great photo and great entry for this week’s theme!
Thank you, Laura! My daughter and I were there several years ago in June. The temperature was around 95 F, with humidity as well. It was very hot! We didn’t go to the hamlet. Next time!
