Petit Palais, Paris, April 27, 2008

	Petit Palais, Paris, April 27, 2008 It was sunny and hot, and as I was on the Champs-Elysees with my camera, I was reminded that I had never gone back to this museum. ... okay,now it reminds me of the Met. Where I definitely want to go and spend more than 5 min, some day.
	Art = excuse for nudity?
	I like everything about this building <3
	Even those odd patched up statues Notice the boat under her? It's reminiscent of Paris' symbol and motto.
	Opening gate
	Detail : Fluctuat nec mergitur again I don't think any other monument is so insistent about Paris' motto. It was probably funded by the town and not by the governement?
	Art Nouveau a bit The motto means "Floats but never sinks".
	Lady with monkey If I recall, it's when I wanted to take a photo of her last time that my batteries died ^^;,,
	So I indulged a bit Because I really like the technique of it. It's ceramics, can you believe it?
	And she's pretty, too.
	A different technique but I really like those multi-color statues.
	That foot looks real... It's nearly skin-toned o_o
	Shot from above Err... painful?
	Adam, Eve and Abel First death on Earth
	Glowy
	Good Samaritan Surprising realism
	The boat again... surrounded by victories
	The inner garden I last shot it in winter covered in snow...
	The terrace leads to the café
	It has to be one of the most pleasant places of Paris
	Eve with the snake
	Haunting
	I love that place
	I'm not sure what those are... Are they even finished?
