Xavier,

Congratulations! You scooped the New York Times with your photos of  
Versailles, especially with the picture of the recently reopened Hall  
of Mirrors.

The Arts section of this morning's Times contained a story of the  
refurbishment of the palace and the reopening of the entire Hall of  
Mirrors. To see their photos, go to:

I always wondered about the Hall until I visited it some years ago  
and saw that it mostly faces the west so that when illuminated by the  
afternoon or setting sun it must be dazzling indeed.

Again, my  congratulations.

All the best,

Bill

and

gallerie
des Glaces...

Digilux, Nature setting, 400 ISO vari elmar 14-50. Fun to show even  
if it
could have been raw, etc... The OIS mechnaism does well in difficult  
kights.

Your critisisms are heartly accepted
