Summer in the Jardin des Tuileries

Estimated Reading Time: < 1 minute

In the summer of 2024 the Jardin des Tuileries became famous with the Olympic cauldron. The success of the event lead to it being reinstalled for the summer of 2025. So I wanted to go back to the Jardin des Tuileries which I had visited in 2024 and capture the mood of Summer in the Jardin des Tuileries. What a treat I had install with the installation of the fairground just next to the cauldon.

So out came the camera and I took a couple of shots of the cauldron. I then turned my attention to try and capture the colour, speed, excitement and fun that a fair can bring.

The city website for the Jardin des Tuileries for more details of the park.

The Cauldron

The cauldron is back in Paris for Summer in the Jardin des Tuileries until 14 September 2025.

La Fête des Tuileries

The fair is right in the heart of Paris, between the Louvre and place de la Concorde. Easy to get to via metro Ligne 1. They have page telling you more information about the La Fête des Tuileries.

There is no entrance fee to the fairground, and you pay each ride individually. My idea was to walk from one end and back and try to capture the mood, the colour, the joy and excitement.

For 2025 the last day to visit he fair is August 24.

Sailing around Hjorundfjord, Norway

Estimated Reading Time: < 1 minute

I was up nice and early to catch the early morning sun and make the most of a morning on Hjorundfjord in Norway. The steep cliffs that surround it are typical of southern fjords and make for spectacular scenery. There are still snow-capped mountains too which make for a breathtaking backdrop. This was topped by the calm deep fjord itself and the fantastic reflections.

I took many many photos and picked a selection – 8 as it happens. I’ll be adding moire to my online store as I go through them. These are available for purchase at prints.avenuedesimages.com

It was a wonderful trip, well recommended.
