Sunday at the "Grand Palais"

The "Grand Palais" (great palace) was built in 1900 for the "Exposition Universelle". It is built of glass and metal. Usually, we find there exposistions of painting. The renovation work of the canopy is finished. While waiting for reopening, Paris had the idea to install a fun fair there : the large wheel goes up until the top of the canopy.

@niki :I took the 2nd one for the colors (pink and green, very fresh) and also the mowement of people turning and turning, moving higher by the speed of the "manege". It was a constructed photo generated by the emotion. The light is an inner light; it gives a equal contrast on all the photo. About the taste, I can tell that you eat as much the perfume and taste as the color. Everybody chooses its color (to suit with its clothes or its eyes???); made of sugar and fruit or vanilla, cinnamon ....
@designisgood : via chantal and other links, I get down on your blog, very sweet and artistic. For the 2nd one, my first inspiration was to play with the movement.

Looks like a lot of fun! And it's all indoors! I like the angle of the second photo, it gives it a dynamic feel.
