Description
-o§o-________ Hello again,... long time no see ! ;-) Here is one of the official replicas of the Statue of Liberty that are visible in Paris, a replica which is the exact quarter of the Statue of Liberty offered then to the USA by my country, but here, this smaller statue was donated by the USA to France, and erected on the 'Ile-aux-Cygnes' ( Swan Island) on the river Seine in 1889, in the West of Paris, four years after the one on Liberty Island, in Manhattan.
________-o§o- Auguste Bartholdi, the French designer of both statues, wished his replica would face the USA, westwards; sadly enough, his wish was never heard while he was alive. The replica was turned westwards,(facing the USA) only 48 years later, on the second 'Exposition Universelle' in Paris. I took this by night of course, but you can see in my gallery another view of the Parisian Lady Liberty, this time in full sunlight!
________-o§o- Thank you so much for your comments on my latest Bryce modelling exercise in the shape of a perfume bottle, have a nice week, and enjoy the current sunrays of a hot and rather scorching Summer season over here in western Europe, most of France is currently running out of aquifer water, the situation is getting critical in some places, sadly enough...Please zoom in for more details!

Ah ! c'est par là-bas les états-unis ? Je plaisante bêtement alors que je ferais mieux de dire out le bien que je pense de cette superbe photo ! Quant à la chaleur et au manque d'eau, nous commençons à souffrir sérieusement. Encore 38 cet am (à 567 m) mais le ciel s'assombrit...avec un peu de chance...

Bonsoir Karma ! Je suis tellement heureuse de voir une de tes nouvelles images dans ta galerie. Celle-ci a un design particulièrement soigné avec ce jeu de lignes formé par les gratte-ciel à l'arrière-plan. La lumière est exceptionnelle elle aussi. Merci aussi pour la petite information sur cette statue. Comme d'habitude, tu as fait une image de très grande qualité et exigeante. Bravo et merci pour ça!

This really has to be seen in zoom, and I admire your photo very much. The mood is very fine, as all the lines, light and dark contrast is great too. The textures on the left building looks like something out of an electric stuff. ;-) Thank you too for the interesting information, and 'yes' here in the south of The Netherlands it was never such dry as this year, I hope the problems in France will improve.

wonderful capture. I wanted to visit the statue but it was closed for 150 years celebration. I did fly around it in a helicopter
