There is a story behind this photograph told in pictures I did not take and others I chose not to post. On the Miroir d'eau [qv], a couple, probably genuine ballet dancers, performed balletic moves for a photographer. As the fog rose from the Miroir d'eau, the photographs would have been wonderful but to take them would have been an intrusion. This figure caught my eye - the seat is part of the space - and it became clear that she was associated with the photoshoot. The shoot over, the dancers came here to change and, again, the pictures would have been a little too intrusive. So what survives the moral edit is this image of a rather regal figure surveying, both severely and protectively, her charges on the water. 200_2_P1000685C
