Queen's Day in Amsterdam





The river is crowded too....


The street is full with people!!






is FULL of people..



Queen's Day in Amsterdam is a unique night and day carnival-like event on 30th of April each year and during the night before – so called Queen's Night . What is special about the Queen's Day, that having elements of the huge party across the whole city, it is combined with the market in the streets of the whole city.

The Queen's Day is celebrated in the whole Netherlands since more than fifty years. Amsterdam celebrations are the most attractive. Last years the popularity of the event grows drawing crowd of visitors from all over Europe.

As the large part of the Amsterdam centre is fully filled with the celebrating crowd, no transport is possible there, you will have to walk. No cars are allowed on the Queen’s Day to the Amsterdam centre. All public means of transportation, including trains, have a special schedule for this day.

Celebrating Queen's Day begins already on the evening of the day before, usually at 7 p.m., and goes on until the early hours of the Queen's Day. It is so called Queen's Night, when all clubs across the Netherlands organize special festivities. Especially for the young people this is the night to be in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is very busy that night as many young people move across the city from one party to another, while others prepare the next day market.

Paris, France

聖禮拜堂,La Sainte-Chapelle,為法國巴黎市西堤島上的一座哥德式禮拜堂。


巴黎圣母院(notredamedeparis)建成于1345年。不仅因雨果的同名小说而出名,更因为它是巴黎最古老最宏伟的天主教堂。这座哥特式的巨石建筑物,历经两百年,由mauricedesul-ly所设计。她是巴黎最古老、最大、建筑最出色的天主教堂,在欧洲建筑史上具有划时代的意义。


nite view at Eiffel Tower...NICE


万神庙本来是献给巴黎的守护神圣什内维埃芙的教堂,后来用作国家重要人物公墓,改名为万神庙。


协和广场(place de la concorde)建于1757年,是一个非常美丽的广场,最初是献给路易十五的。



这个举世闻名的艺术宫殿始建于12世纪末,当时是用作防御目的,后来经过一系列的扩建和修缮,逐渐成为一个金碧辉煌的王宫。从16世纪起,弗朗索瓦一世开始大规模的收藏各种艺术品,以后各代皇帝延续了这个传统,充实了卢浮宫的收藏。
如今,博物馆收藏的艺术品已达40万件,其中包括雕塑、绘画、美术工艺及古代东方、古代埃及和古希腊罗马等7个门类。1981年,法国政府这座精美的建筑进行了大规模的整修,从此,卢浮宫成了专业博物馆。值得一提的是,卢浮宫正门入口处有一个透明金字塔建筑,它的设计者就是著名的美籍华人建筑师贝聿铭。
卢浮宫目前已经成为世界三大博物馆之一.



Disneyland, Paris.



艾菲尔铁塔(eiffel Towel)建于一八八九年,由建筑师艾菲尔所设计。
建造艾菲尔铁塔的初衷,是为了纪念法国大革命100周年和迎接在巴黎举办的国际博览会,建成后颇受争议,联名抗议的各界人士达到300人之多,其中有著名作家左拉和小仲马。
岂料,铁塔建成后,竟产生了世界性的轰动效应,一举成为巴黎乃至整个法国的最具代表性和象征性的建筑,甚至成为巴黎乃至法国的象征。在1931年纽约帝国大厦落成前,艾菲尔铁塔保持了45年世界最高建筑物的地位。
全塔高320米,塔楼分三层,一、二楼有餐厅、咖啡座等,三楼是眺望台,在天晴的日子,可从此远眺七十公里以外的巴黎近郊(hedefrance)地区。



凯旋门地处宽阔的星星戴高乐广场。这里是乡赛丽寨大街的尽头,又是沙佑山丘的最高点。从戴高乐广场向四面八方延伸,有12条大道。宏伟、壮丽的凯旋门就耸立在广场中央的环岛上面。这座拱门是在拿破仑时期1806年由夏尔格兰负责动工建筑的。



心教堂(sacre coeru)位于巴黎蒙马特高地的最高点上,是巴黎的象征,从这里可以俯瞰蓬皮杜艺术中心、巴黎圣母院和荣军院等。
教堂始建于1876年,1919年落成,由全法国捐款兴建。教堂内有许多浮雕、壁画和镶嵌画。圣坛上方是巨副天顶壁画,耶稣与天父相对而立,圣母等随侍两侧。
它洁白的大圆顶具有罗马式与拜占庭式相结合的别致风格,四周为四座小圆顶,中间为一座大圆顶,颇具东方情调。教堂后部有一座高84米的方型钟。里面有一只世界最大的萨瓦钟,重19吨。
沿着庄严的石阶向上,直抵教堂正外立面和带三个拱门的门廊,门廊的上方是圣路易国王与圣女贞德骑马塑像。圣心院又有巴黎“小白宫”之称、这当然是指外形而言。




Finally i reached PARIS, FRANCE....
Thanks for the arrangement...and everything you do for me...THANKS

Jamie Foxx - Fly Love




Wasn't really thinking, wasn't looking,

wasn't searching for an answer

In the moonlight

When I saw your face



Saw you looking at me,

saw you peaking out from under moon beams

Through the palm trees

Swaying in the breeze



I know that I'm feeling so much more than ever before

And so I'm giving more to you than I though I could do



Don't know how it happened, don't know why,

but you don't really need a reason

When the stars shine

Just to fall in love



Made to love each other,

made to be together for a life time

In the sunshine

Flying in the sky



I know that I'm feeling so much more than ever before

And so I'm giving more to you than I though I could do



Now I know love is real

So when sky high, as the angels dry

Letting you and I fly love
