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.
