Shots from the 12ft jib-arm this afternoon, Nikon D3 and Camera Control Pro,
A pre-monsoon gloom overhead and unbearable humidity and heat.
I am not sure about the text, just added.
“Place D’Armes”
(though “Parade Ground” has such particular resonance for much of my work and life here in Lahore Cantonment)
Jean Delagrife’s plan has quite a lot of text and this is part of the overall compostion,
-the text actually serves to hold a number of otherwise unactivated spaces in his drawing.
If I keep it I’ll have to add the text to sevaral other spaces.
I feel the text makes the work too literal,I like the ambiguity of the garden plan alone.
Though the text also serves to further seperate Versailles from the Paradise Garden, which could be positive.
