Statues of the Museum of Orsay

Paris is one of the most tourist-visited cities over the world. One of most visited places in city are its museums - starting from the most famious like Louvre to the small private or with limited colection. 

The Museum of Orsay (Musée d'Orsay) locates on the left bank of the Seine River and is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900. The museum holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1915 and holds paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography. The major exposition is the collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces in the world, by such painters as Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Sisley, Gauguin and Van Gogh. 

But the museum is interesting not only with its collection. Just in front of the enter there are some statues that attracts your attention by their monumentality, beauty and reality in details.

From summer into winter. The Glacier 3000

Switzerland is small Europe country that can be truly called as the "touristic paradise". The green valleys, the Alps, waterfalls, toys-like small highland villages and clean comfortable towns and cities, perfect infrastructure, pubic transport and so on. All these attract people from over the world.

One of the places I visited during my last coming to Switzerland, was the Glacier 3000 - the highland glacier with summit at 3210 m (Diableret mnt.), located in place of Gstaad, Bern Alps, and touristic complex where aerial cabin cars, hiking trial, ski run, chairlift are available nearly all seasons.
