Saint-Germain-en-Laye Trees

(taken by Amy)

This beautiful photo was taken by Amy on the grounds of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye castle where Louis XIV was born. At the end of this row of trees is the famous 2.4-kilometer stone terrace built by landscape architect Le NĂ´tre. It overlooks a large part of the Parisian region as well as sections of Paris.

Amy took this with a Konica Minolta Point&Shoot camera. The photo, with its symmetrical straight lines, really highlights the formality of French gardens.

There's something unsettling about meticulous groomed and placed trees. Then again, I'm a bit of a naturalist. Nice shot. To me it says bread lines and pocket watches.

Nice photo! I had a z10 Dimage KMinolta I really liked. The problems of course being it was just a point and shoot and the shutter lag was horrendous.
