French Mill Pillows

A Mill in Zaandam by Claude Monet. Oil on canvas.

Canon 5D MkIII, Versailles, France. The Mill, built and fitted from 1783 to 1788, was never used for grinding grain. The wheel is driven by a stream derived from the Grand Lake and is only a decorative element. To escape the “stresses” and responsibilities of her real life, Antoinette enjoyed running off to her elaborate playground, where she would dress like a young peasant, don a straw hat and milk cows. Most of these buildings fell into ruin & were restored in 1990. *Features* Canon DLSR, September 2019. A Place To Start, September 2019. 60 & Beyond, September 2019.
