Panoramic view of the Place Vendome in Paris.

Place Vendome is a square located to the north of the Tuileries Gardens. Its regular architecture and pedimented screens across the corners give the rectangular place Vendôme the aspect of an octagon. The original Vendôme Column at the centre of the square was erected by Napoleon I to commemorate the Battle of Austerlitz. It was torn down in 1871, by the Paris Commune and subsequently re-erected. It remains a prominent feature on the square today.

Place Vendôme was laid out in 1702 as a monument to the glory of the armies of Louis XIV, the Grand Monarque and called place des Conquêtes, to be renamed place Louis le Grand, when the conquests proved temporary; an over life-size equestrian statue of the king was set up in its centre and later destroyed in the French Revolution.

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
