Monet

I traveled to Giverny to visit Monet's hose.
He loved flowers and Japanese "UKIYOE".
The pond and the bridge he always drew in the pieces were there.
I took many pictures and show some of them below.






Here below, this is what Monet saw during painting.
Camera is not capable enough to capture how the genius observed and imagined.



He also drew the panoramic paints in l'Orangerie Musium in Paris.
There are two rooms that have four panoramic paints each, which means all walls are covered by Monet's paintings.  

You may feel how large they are, comparing to the size of people in the picture above.

The Golden Week Journy 2017

I am in France now, to see my son studying in Lyon, France.
From Japan to France, it was long flight for more than 12 hours and it hurts my lower back.
However, traveling around the world is always inspiring and refleshing me every time.
Staying at hotel near the Disney Land at Paris, I took the TGV down to Lyon.




Lyon used to be the center of Gallia in the ancient Roman Empire.
This picture shows the sceneries of Lyon across the river Rone.


The statues below is Luis the 14th. 

The Little Prince with Antoine de Saint‐Exup´ery (below).

This church is said the first church in France.
