miracle of nature

A quiet Saturday at the theatre in Versailles... & a walk to see the Pièce d'Eau des Suisses, a little lake located south of the chateau de Versailles, used sometimes to supply water for the gardens.

It was -5 degrees Celsius but the skies were unbelievably blue.

The whole lake was frozen as far as the eye could see; the swans were walking on ice.

Thanks to the continuous paddling of the ducks, one small area of the lake escaped the deep freeze.

Franz-Oliver Giesbert once said that the setting sun is always less charming than when it rises... but on this beautiful late afternoon, i beg to differ. xx
