What is this?
Can you guess?
It is a reflection, inverted (180°),
an ornate ceiling, with a mirror
and a chandelier....
It is the elegant dining room of
Le Grand Vefour at Palais Royal.
Taking a photo of the mirror on the ceiling (from outside)
is the closest I have ever been.
Tant pis pour moi
Le Grand Vefour
Palais Royal
75001, Paris
Marvelous mood in the shot!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your explanation I tried to turn it all around the right way in my head. I think I need a drink. :-).
ReplyDeleteYou did well, Genie, to get inside. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool shot! I took a couple of night shots from outside but I doubt they will be any good. I also seriously doubt that I'll every go inside, way too expensive for me. :-)
ReplyDelete(With all my respect to him and to you; about "Tant pis pour moi"...) Hahahaha...!! "That's my Genie!!" Is saying your dad, completely full of proud.
ReplyDeleteAnd I join his celebration saying "Well said, Genie, who has the humor sense, has the power!".

I really enjoy watching this photo, that isn't as documentary as some others, but more interpretative. I would suggest "Mind is a mirage" as its title. All in it, seems be symbols in dreams of the viewer, including the whole Le Grand Vefour, as a subconscient mystery, BEYOND of image in the mirror.
Thank you Miss Genie, I'm sure this image will last more than Le Grand Vefour itself. And I don't care how elegant it could be; I'm very very sure... it's too low for what you deserve... Tant pis pour vous!
Best wishes for you and your blog friends. d(:D)
Nice reflection.
