Description
The kaleidoscope of light and motion in our image comes courtesy of two things: long-exposure photography and an annual festival put on in the heart of Paris . Every year from June to August the Festival of the Tuileries adds towering amusement rides and cotton candy to the historic Tuileries Garden. (We're seeing a swinging chair ride at the centre of our image here.) Queen Catherine de Medici commissioned a grand garden in 1564 to complement her royal residence, the Tuileries Palace . Following the French Revolution , the garden became a public park, and has since served as a beloved gathering place for locals and visitors to the City of Light.
