Apollo
The Gardens of Versailles

My many thanks to my Flickr friend and Versailles resident Claude Rozier for taking me on the most incredible tour of the gardens. His knowledge of the Les Jardins de Versailles and the history/mythology of the statues is amazing......truly a "metaphysical experience on the pathway to knowledge".

The floor creates an interesting optical illusion. It is flat.
