MIDNIGHT MONDAY: Versailles Backyard

MIDNIGHT MONDAY: Versailles Backyard.  Today is the start of a new era.  It's Midnight Monday, the day for black and white photos.  Every Monday I will post a new black and white photo.  Today, a black and white of Versailles' backyard thanks to Cassi Hoye and Sophia Zumot for the inspiration!

The Versailles Chateau Backyard Gardens

 The Versailles Chateau Backyard Gardens.  It's a place that no normal human can fathom in this day and age.  It's extreme, it's extravagant, it's amazing.  Here is one of my favorite shots of the backyard of the Versailles Chateau Backyard Gardens.

Venturing Inside Chateau Versailles Pt. 1

The inside of Versailles is something to behold.  I ventured in with Zach Weston and Dustin Hunt, and got to snappin'.  The architecture and interior design of the chateau is enough to fascinate the most cynical critics.

Here are the photos, enjoy...

The Dancing Fountain of Versailles

The Dancing Fountain of Versailles (named by none other than moi) was definitely one of the coolest things that I saw in France.  There were loud speakers surrounding the fountain play a classic composition by some famous musician.  The fountain would dance, and twirl, and shoot, and twist to the symphony and it was truly something to behold.

Enjoy the photos!

Adventure Through Chateau Versailles

This is the quick tour of Chateau Versailles.  I've shown you a lot of the gardens (and trust me, there's still much more to come...) but now, I want to give you a taste of the other aspects of the Chateau Versailles.

Here is the view from the front steps of Versailles.  Just outside the ornate gold fence and the vast courtyard lies a 'front yard' of sorts, swarming with hundreds of eager and waiting tourists...




Then you venture inside...





Almost everything in the Chateau Versailles is original from before the revolution, and before the Chateau was stormed and all of the items were stolen or destroyed.  This recreation has taken hundreds of years and millions of euros...
