Fog'll do fine until you can hopefully show some snow.
Re. your question: the palace grounds are free anytime of the year (except for cars, I can't remember if it's 5 or 7€). The gardens, however, are only free part of the year. In the late spring, summer and part of autumn, you have to pay to access them as they hold events (les eaux musicales, les grandes eaux etc). To the best of my knowledge, there are no specific passes for Versaillais and I bought my palace pass this October at the regular price (but still have to go, lol!) It actually makes a lot of people cringe...
I'm waiting for the snow too. Then I can really stock up on photos !
Thanks for the info on the palace access. I'd like to make a visit sometime and just walk all around the grounds (and maybe take a photo or two). They are so huge I have only seen a fraction of them. So that's a good price !
The phrase the mists of time comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
Thanks. That's a wonderful phrase.
DeleteLovely! Would look good in B/W, too.
ReplyDeleteYeah B&W would have worked too. I think this version also has somewhat the look and feel of the old sepia photos (which is of course a tinted B&W).
DeleteBring 'em on! This one is terrific. You've got the line of the twiddly roof and the angle looking up at it just right.
ReplyDeleteOK, so I had to look up "twiddly" but I get it now. Thanks.

Fabulous at the best of times Stuart, mystically from another era cloaked in mist. I'm also looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteThat's good 'cause there will be lots more ! Spring/summer - flowers. Fall/winter - fog. Those are the rules !
DeleteIf you do visit, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that kind offer. I will definitely do so !
DeleteI love the mist too.
