Approaching from the north-east entrance
of the palace gardens on a dreary January day
facing the park and the palace
at the bottom of the hill
of the architectural folly,
the overcast sky the color
of milk tainted with a drop of black
view from the Gloriette

So nice! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
DeletePure and pristine and probably quiet with that silence that snow brings.
ReplyDeleteZosia,
Deleteit is always quiet up there, all you hear is birdsong.
Beautiful views and lovely winter scenes. Happy Skywatching!
ReplyDeleteThank you, the same to you! :-)
DeleteSuch an incredible place, great, wintry skies and perfect captures for the day, Merisi! Have a lovely weekend and stay warm!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you and a wonderful weekend to you, too! :-)
DeleteOh what a gorgeous place Merisi! You are so blessed to view the beauty of the places you live and travel~
ReplyDeleteI agree, and am grateful for that, Mary!
DeleteLove the way the hedges frame that first image!
ReplyDeleteI love it when they cut the branches, using wooden scaffolding that looks like a Trojan horse. ;-)
DeleteAmazing. I was there this past summer. Great to see it with the snow.

Beauty is not bound by seasons, isn't it?
DeleteOn my "bucket list" to see. Love the photographs you posted on Skywatch Friday. My favorite of the series is the first image.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
DeleteSo nice, Merisi. Interesting the fourth shot!
ReplyDeleteGrazie, Pietro!
Deletethat is just so pretty framed up in snowy white
ReplyDeleteIndeed, indeed! :-)
DeleteWow - fabulously toned down tones. The sky isn't dreary - merely a beautiful palette to show off this beautiful building.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots indeed!
Yes, you are right, I shall keep that in mind! xxx
DeleteI really love those pictures that have a (I'm assuming) random person in it that fits just perfectly into the composition of the shot. The first one is one of those. It's great!
ReplyDeleteElisabeth,
Deletethank you! xxx
Gloriette, kind of an appropriate name.
ReplyDeleteI had to refrain myself from not writing (again) about the "glorious Gloriette". ;-)
DeleteUnder the snow it's more poetic !!!
ReplyDeleteBravo !
See you soon !
Thank you, I agree! :-)
Deleteomg!
ReplyDeleteYou really have it
The snow is gone gone gone in Paris
So beautiful!
Merci parisbreakfast
It snowed again last night! ;-)
DeleteJust beautiful winter scenes!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sonia!
DeleteWhen a palace just isn't enough, get a gloriette and get away from it all... :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with ladyfi - I love the monochromatic quietude of a winter palette. These are beautiful photos!
Thank you, thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteMerisi, perhaps the weather gods saw your lovely photos and decided to allow some gentle snow flakes to fall upon New York City tonight. I wish to see a wonderland tomorrow morning, but somehow doubt that will happen.
ReplyDeleteAll the same, it was a bit magical tonight. xo
Francis,
DeleteI am looking forward to see your pictures!
Bundle up,
Merisi
Merisi, any photos will have to wait for another snow. We got little accumulation and the temperature remains well below freezing.
DeleteBundling up is definitely required...indoors and out.
xo
Beautiful!!! the pics look straight out of some storybook!!! hope i can see these places someday!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteMay your travel dreams all come true! x
Dieses Schloss scheint mir stets im Winter und durch besonders durch deine Augen gesehen am wundervollsten!!!
ReplyDeleteIch hoffe, es geht dir gut und wünsche dir für 2013 das Allerbeste.
herzlichst
isabella
Danke, Isabella,
Deletemöge dies eben begonnene Jahr auch dir das Allerbeste bringer!
