Virtual vacation time!

Please enjoy the beauty of Chateau Chantilly, Chantilly, France.

Attached below is a number of photographs in two versions, one color, and the 2nd tweaked B&W “infrared” effect.

I took these when there in 2019, thanks to @Geurtie’s suggestion.

Enjoy!
In the distance is the Chantilly Horse Museum.

Chantilly is about one hour north of Paris via train. We caught the D train at the huge Gare du Nord — it took a bit to find our way, but we did.

From the train station we caught a taxi to the chateau.

Chateau Chantilly is immense and is surrounded by miles of pools, ponds, garden pathways and horse trails and the interior is filled with period furnishings, a huge collection of 15th and 16th century art works, second only to the Louvre.

We took about an hour hike around the grounds exploring the immense garden on the west side.

One can hike for days there, exploring the many trails and pathways surrounding the chateau.

Which version do you prefer?

Chateau Chantilly boasts of eight centuries of existence.

The main part of the chateau was destroyed in the French Revolution, and the contents looted, but was rebuilt and refurbished by Henri of Orléans, the Duke of Aumale.

About the gardens here. My sister and I explored the English garden and a bit of the French garden (pools).

chateaudechantilly.fr/en/grounds/
Here is a photo of a couple of the pools in the French garden.

Which versions do you prefer, the color or black and white?
Here a a couple photos taken at Pere Lachaise cemetery.

The third photo is one of my all time favorites, taken in 1995 using old school infrared film. Digitally tweaking an image in PhotoShop is close but no cigar to the real thing. The first image is one of my favs from 2019.

@WSJ of course paints the organization behind the Palestinian protests as “left wing” when it is actually a well know propaganda organization in support of Hammas currently being sued by survivors of the Oct 7th massacre. wsj.com/us-news/educat…
Survivors of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks filed a Fed lawsuit citing the nationwide college protests, arguing that Nat’l Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and its parent org are working in the US "as collaborators and propagandists for Hamas."

foxnews.com/us/major-us-la…
Through NSJP, AJP Educational Foundation Inc. – also known as American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) – allegedly "uses propaganda to intimidate, convince, & recruit uninformed, misguided, and impressionable college students to serve as foot soldiers for Hamas on campus and beyond.”

Mr. Kushner’s plans in the Balkans appear to have come about in part through relationships built while Mr. Trump was in office. Mr. Kushner, who was a senior White House official, said he had been working on the deals with dirty trickster and Trump sycophant Richard Grenell.
These first two projects both involve land now controlled by the governments of Albania and Serbia, meaning a deal would have to be finalized with these foreign governments.

nytimes.com/2024/03/15/us/…
Reminder, Richard Grenell was involved in influencing the elections in Kosovo during the Trump administration.

All news outlets who pushed the Burisma smear campaign against Hunter & Joe Biden are guilty of aiding & abetting Putin & his Russian Intel Services disinfo & owe a huge apology not only to the Biden’s, but to the American people. @CBSPolitics @ABCPolitics @CNN @NBCNews @ABC
Putin’s goal is to elect Trump who will destroy NATO & hand the keys to Ukraine and the European continent to him.

That has always been the original quid pro quo dating back to 2016. Trump has even confirmed this goal.

Secret Afghanistan testimony revealed

The Trump administration’s slapdash efforts to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan hurt the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Kabul and the Taliban, according to secret congressional testimony.
politico.com/newsletters/na…
Afghanistan-focused officials were kept out of the loop by senior Trump aides. That ultimately put personnel at risk, endangered a fragile diplomatic effort and left a new administration in the dark about their inheritance, they said in previously unreported comments.
The Trump administration struck a deal with the Taliban in February 2020 that set the conditions for a U.S. withdrawal by May 2021.
