Hall of mirrors in Versailles, France

Hall of Mirrors

I was visiting France just at the outskirts of Paris in Versailles. I was at the palace (turned museum) of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte. I reached the famed Hall of Mirrors with exquisite chandeliers that looked to be of crystal. Since then, the chandeliers have been updated to have electricity and no longer burn so many candles! The entire hall was gorgeous! It opened to one side with windows through which sunlight reached. Both sides were intermittently lined with mirrors, but that's not all. There were pedestals with antique art of busts of famed persons of the time period sitting atop the pedestals. The room was crystal (silver), golden, and white. Complemented with sunlight or just the dazzle of the chandelier light, it was an amazing effect. I am sure some of the grandest events of the 15th-16th century had been hosted in the hall of mirrors...I just wish I could look back in time to see it!

Wildflowers in New Mexico

Wildflowers on Mountain in Albuquerque

While hiking up a mountain in Albuquerque, NM in the USA, I photographed these yellow wildflowers as the sunlight shone down on the lush green mountains. These wildflowers were exhibited in an art show with a nature theme. The scene was akin to what is seen on the travel channel on television. The entire landscape was amazing to walk in with crisp, clear, cool mountain air. Can't wait to go hiking again with this view! This piece as a print is an excellent conversation starter. People will ask about where it was photographed. This will lead to the topic of travel!

White Floral in the Wild

I photographed this image of a floral growing in the wild at the time of midafternoon to late afternoon sunlight. Nice, isn't it?

Closest deer to date

Deer Feeding Close to Dusk

This is the closest I have gotten to date to this many deer feeding. They come out every year during certain seasons to feed right before dusk. The light always fades fast as I photograph them. Their instinct tells them when to come out for food. Their safety is a key concern to them. They have gotten used to me and notice that my camera is of no harm. In this picture, they are not even looking up at me.
