Picture of the Day – Tapestries

Exciting new feature! A temporary installation, if you will. It’s almost bedtime on November 1st, and I’ve been debating back and forth about writing here every day for the month, as I have done several times before. I thought about how, when I was in France, I had intended to post here every day, at least a picture, and my iPad started acting poopy. It’s still poopy, I tried to load this picture using it, and it tried four time and failed and gave me error messages. Then when I boot up a regular computer, the picture is there, four times. Whatever. Anyway, I’m going to try to post every day in November. Some days it will just be a picture, some days there will be more. I have a few more I want to write about France. Perhaps something else interesting will happen. Time will tell.

Your picture of the day, above, is at the Musee de Cluny, a beautiful museum of the middle ages, and this is the room we have come to see, with the famous ‘Lady and the Unicorn’ tapestries. I liked this picture, it gives you a feel for the room. It’s dark, to protect the fabric. It’s crowded, because even though it’s a small museum, nothing like the Louvre or d’Orsay, it is still quite popular, and this is the room most people come to see. Most people are not wearing masks anymore, and that was true in France as well as at home. The tapestries are huge though, and you can get close and see all of the detail that you want. It was lovely.
