After an afternoon of taking photos of historic cafes in the Montparnasse district and walking back to the Seine the long way, it was a wonderful surprise to turn the corner and come upon this beautiful refreshing sight at the south end of Jardin du Luxembourg known as Jardin Marco Polo. The park was already closed as it was during winter hours. In a quiet spot where only the occasional jogger ran by, I set up my tripod. It was a pleasure spending an hour or so here, listening to the splashing of the water, and enjoying the dazzling light shining on the statues. They are a collaboration of four different artists. Here is some great information about this wonderful park in the Latin Quarter of Paris.
