More of Notre Dame

Outside Notre Dame de Paris, it's another beautiful sight. Er, I think it's beautiful almost everywhere in Paris, any season :-)

Well, enjoy! :-)

Passing through the palace on my way to work, le grand palais seems a bit gloomy. The crowded tourists and busy streets yet barely hide the melancholy.

"Les jours sont peut-être égaux pour une horloge, mais pas pour un homme."

[The days may be equal to a clock, but not for a man.]

Decorating National Archive Museum

A party held in this beautiful building, yet with peculiar theme: China meets Java. I tried hard not to spoil the beauty  of the building but could meet the client's request. So here's what I came up with.

venue: National Archive Building

The Doors of National Archive Building

It always amazes me everytime I visited this building;  the National Archive Building stands gracefully amongst the hustle bustle of Jakarta, and against its dust and pollution. Built in Renaissance style circa 1760 AD by Reiner de Klerk - Governor of East Indie Company, somehow it has an Indonesian and Chinese flair in it. It's doors, especially, has caught my heart: tall, solid, grand, but not overstated. 

Some Dutch and Chinese ceramic tiles lined the walls and floors.
