you may write me down in history

with your bitter, twisted lies

but still, like dust, I'll rise...

I hadn't seen the jardins des Tuileries through this angle. Well... what am I saying?! This is a Leftie's unique angle, as always. The penultimate foto is fabulous, gal. So delicate...

Surreal & soulful. And so few people in history are ever remembered. Like photographs, they fade: like buildings, they crumble, and their life is rewritten by people who have yet to be born.

Mike described it perfectly and I am at lost for words.The hands are a terrific capture.
Leftofcenter said at 9:49 a.m. on May 15, 2009:
The hand was cold but steady. One that you can count on. And, yes, Mike said it all. Thanks Fox, thx Sandy, Eliane, Enaldo.

Powerful angles, tender hand-in-hand.

Awesome. You have such a unique and wonderful perspective.
Hollyridger said at 1:00 p.m. on May 15, 2009:
Unique indeed.... very well done. As others have said, your hand-in-hand shot is outstanding - so delicate.

Every perspective in each image is superalitive. I don't need to go to Paris when I can sit in the comfort of my home and see the arts and history through Lefties eyes which is probably more imaginative than if I were there in person. The hand in hand image is completely Wasaaabiiii.

ik vind dit heel mooi en vooral jou hand en woorden van Maya..wat kan ik hier nog aan toevoegen..het is hier boven allemaal gezegd..
Nina1960 said at 2:50 p.m. on May 15, 2009:
De titel zegt alles..
Leftofcenter said at 2:59 p.m. on May 15, 2009:
onverwoestbaar? niet vandaag.. misschien morgen weer..

Thank you all for your enthus comments. Mike and Pam pretty much said it all. The strength of a woman's heart & soul perfectly portrayed by these timeless sculptures. The angles are a bit "off" only because at the foot of these masterpieces were a zillion of Parisians and tourists with bikes, picnic baskets, ipods, pets and screaming babies!! almost sacriligeous...
Loes said at 5:02 p.m. on May 15, 2009:
Onverwoestbaar of niet, dit is gewoon een mooi tabblo!
Tishfish said at 5:10 p.m. on May 15, 2009:
Wonderful angles and shots ! ! !
Ira said at 7:17 p.m. on May 15, 2009:
Beautiful and very womanly composition of a sculpture. The second photo perfect. Wonderful colours.
Fabio_DL said at 12:33 a.m. on May 16, 2009:
Very powerful!
EMA said at 11:07 a.m. on May 16, 2009:
Beautiful sculptures! The angles and tones are lovely. My favorite is the hand in hand because it seems meaningful.

Magnifique. Telles les trois Grâces,
un ballet figé qui nous fait pourtant virevolter.

#2 and #4 are magnifique.
Mrsfabulous said at 9:36 a.m. on May 19, 2009:
that hand-in-hand shot is beautiful!
PhotoPop said at 9:53 a.m. on May 20, 2009:
Sublime
Leftofcenter said at 10:23 a.m. on May 20, 2009:
Jean-Emile: did you say that in French or in English?
PhotoPop said at 10:30 a.m. on May 20, 2009:
Truthfully, it was in English. The definition in French is much the same as English, n'est pas?
Leftofcenter said at 11:08 a.m. on May 20, 2009:
wi, as is "indestructible"...
Snooway said at 11:21 p.m. on May 20, 2009:

Debdog said at 12:41 a.m. on May 21, 2009:

Leftofcenter said at 7:27 a.m. on May 21, 2009:

"I do love the pictures you shot from Mayol and his "egerie" whom we cannot (mustn't) forget (Dina Vierni)"
Leftofcenter said at 9:57 a.m. on May 25, 2009:

Opnieuw een erg mooi tabblo Annelies. Mooie foto's, goed lay-out en met een pakkend eind van maya angelou.
