The Luxembourg Gardens
Today, while I was wondering what photo I should post, I realized that I have not published anything from my home country yet… so funny as I travel there so much but as it is often for work, I don’t tend to think about it. Anyway, I will post a lot of photographs from France because I have a great collection and I love this country.
The photograph I choose for today was taken in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. These gardens are really famous for the typical chairs people can sit on all around the park and the kids playing with the little boats in the water. I didn’t want to take the typical photo so I walked around the park and was suddenly attracted by this huge golden statue… I thought it was amazing so I kept looking for the coolest angle to take it.

What I love about this photograph is how the angle makes things so out of proportion. The head is so close that it makes the big buildings in the back look super tiny. Also, the fact the the buildings are not straights creates a dramatic effect made even more dramatic by the dark and threatening sky.
