A second image of Pont Neuf taken from the same vantage point as my previous post on the Pont des Arts though the angle is slightly different. This was taken on the following day in the late evening, it had been a scorching day temperatures over 40 C . You can see a lot of people trying to cool off on the little park "Green Gallant”.

Its ironic given its name “ New Bridge “ that the Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris . Older bridges have long been demolished .
The bridge is composed of two separate spans, one of five arches joining the left bank to the Île de la Cité, another of seven joining the island to the right bank. Old engraved maps of Paris show that the newly built bridge just grazed the downstream tip of the Île de la Cité; since then, the natural sandbar building of a mid-river island, aided by stone-faced embankments called quais, has extended the island. Today the tip of the island is the location of the Square du Vert-Galant, a small public park named in honour of Henry IV, nicknamed the "Green Gallant".

Where flowers and plants can bloom, so does hope!

Well, at least in the rockery gardens of Winterbourne Gardens. One can see the marvels of plantations that can survive all extremes of weather.

This caught my eyes straight away, within the way these beautiful watery plants and their colours, spring up from all around the edge of the rockery pool.

I love these gardens of Winterbourne House, which makes it so pleasant to stroll around and take in all the wonderful atmosphere and tranquillity of calmness you feel around in here... Plus the real beauty of Mother Nature marvels!

Many thanks for your comments and compliments from you here, my good flickr friends !!!
