Photo of a model wearing a Norman Hartnell gown in 1929, my photo of the sea in the French riviera and my photo of a chandelier in the Napoleon III appartments in the Louvre museum, in Paris.
The painting is called “Fireworks in Nice” and was painted by the Russian artist Nicolas Tarkhoff (1871-1930) :
Every Saturday from June 18 to September 17 2016, the gardens of the Château de Versailles offer stunning fireworks in front of the Grand Canal. I saw amazing and beautiful fireworks in July. It is a wonderful spectacle. For more information : http://en.chateauversailles.fr/
