Amor et Psyche


"Shot on location in Paris, France.

Visitors of the Louvre Museum in Paris love this sculpture, and I do too: the famous 'Amor et Psyche' from the artist Antonio Canova, who lived between 1757 and 1822.

The sculpture captures the moment Amor returns Psyche from her deadly sleep - after being kissed by Amor she´s awake and back to life. Canova created a marvelous work, where the spectator realizes the gentleness of love. The way Psyche hugs Amor creates a vivid dynamic composition in pure marble". Taken by John Grace

Mosaic to the Fallen


"This wonderful mosaic fills the ceiling of the chapel at the American War Cemetery in Normandy. It symbolizes America blessing sons as they depart by sea and air to fight for freedom, and a grateful France bestowing a laurel wreath upon American dead who gave their lives to liberate Europe's oppressed peoples".

Picnic By The Seine


"Whether it be couples, large groups of friends or families, parisians have become picnic adepts on the banks of the river Seine, making the most of the long summer days. The huge popularity of those improvised picnics also show how much people are in need to get together, share and have fun, in a society where more and more restrictions are imposed and where spontaneous and simple communication lacks.

A couple is enjoying the evening sun, their food and of course their wine!". Taken by fredcan
