Paris-Tuileries Gardens-Jan2008 I went for a walk in one of Paris' parks, Les Tuileries, on a sunday afternoon : in the soft declining light children were playing with miniature boats on one of the park's pools. It's a wellknown game that exists for ages: parents rent one of these nice boats and children spend hours playing there. Each of the 15 or 20 boats is different, all very coloured. I decided to shoot them and here we are : a small serie entitled "Racing at the Tuileries". Hope you enjoy!

Vraiment très joli cette réflection.

Il fallait avoir l'oeil.

Bravo!

Laurence: Bonjour Rémi, merci de ta visite! J'ai de très bons souvenirs du Quebec où j'ai passé un mois d'été il y a 2 ans, avec un grand tour de la Gaspésie en particulier - et plein de photos au retour! A bientôt-Laurence

Laurence: Hi! Thanks for paying a visit and for your flattering comment about Marquet. I just had a quick look to your blog (will take more time to explore it later) and I see in your profile that we share some musical tastes...I play classical piano and love jazz... Regards, Laurence

This has become a delightful painterly abstract ... wonderful colours. richard

Laurence: Hi Richard, thanks for your visit and comment. I became found of these little boats and spent 2 hours around the pool trying to catch the very moment each of these lovely boats was benefiting from the light at its best. I think I will come back to shoot the children next time... Regards, Laurence

The symmetry of the boats and their reflection is beautiful, reminding me of a butterfly. Really nice shot!

Laurence: Hello Mary, nice to hear from you, and thank you very much for your comment. Regards, Laurence

The colors and lines breath so much life into this photograph. It makes me long for summer, simple times, and laughter.

Fabulous picture, the large 'ripples' make the reflection look more like apainting

Laurence: Hello! Thank you for your visit and comment, Ellie. The day I shot this picture and the following was one of the very first sunny days in Paris after months of endless grey sky and low light, and it was really good to catpure colours and light, like a promise of summer times... Regards, Laurence
