people watch at Chateau de Versailles

More photos of people I took when I visited Chateau de Versailles in France ...each tells a unique story.  

I just noticed that EVERYONE looked anxious as if the splendor was too incredible therefore too much to swallow.  But my guess is, either the 2 hour queue to get in kinda ruined the experience (somehow) and the overwhelming walk in the gardens, which took 40yrs to build, was a difficult walk because the ground is made of stone, sandy and with pebbles.  When I went there sometime April this year, it was very windy so I literally ate dust, too! There were so many people, too many in fact, that it was not easy to take photos of any art piece without having people suddenly ruining the shot by walking by or a part of someone's body included in your photo.  And so, this is the reason why I just made the most of my precious time and took pictures of random people passing my view.  Well, I'm impressed actually.  I'm not such a bad photographer after all. 

Ok, notice the faces? They were happy they got in until they saw the enormity of the gardens. CRAP!

"Damn! Do we have to hold hands? ...All THE WAY??"

common target of pickpocket-ers & holdup-ers but today they're dressed for combat.

I hope no one sees me...I'm bringing THIS statue home with me.

Mom, I mean Dad! why did you have to pluck your eyebrows like that anyway?


I'm just pretending to be cool. I'm actually just feeling gassy.

FML, I almost broke my working arm trying to steer my wheelchair in this pebbled ground.  




"awww isn't my boyfriend the sweetest?" said the dog

Long standing BFFs.   

The police! Wait we have to stop here. I think it is illegal to pick flowers.
