versailles

on saturday we're going to versailles again.
this time it will be to see the exhibition of joana vasconcelos - a portuguese designer/sculpter that i really love.

i was beyond happy with the photos i took last time on versailles (although some are still on an undeveloped roll...) and i cannot wait to take my praktica to that beautiful place again :)

these are all the versailles photos from the one roll that got developed.

    1. oh my! that's news to me! i didn't know they could change the look of the castle so much!

    2. There's a good part of french architects that believe a historical monument should return to its original state. Even if it got altered through time. I don't believe it should, as a building lives and changes, but I think this is probably what happened here. The golden ornements were probably there in the 17th or 18th century and architects decided to recreate them in the 21st century ... what a waste of money.
