If this image looks a little soft and waxy, it's because the original public domain version was very small, so I've taken the liberty of upscaling it using waifu2x. Now I know that upscaling is a dirty word in certain circles, but waifu2x is capable of performing the task more cleanly than conventional image editing software, thanks to its deep convolutional neural networks (whatever those are). It can't add detail that isn't there, so the results can appear a bit soft, but at least they're not riddled with pixellation and other unwanted artefacts. Anyway, if anyone doesn't like the upscaled image, feel free to shrink it using your own image editors.
This recoloured version was produced in the usual manner, by finding a coloured original that was even smaller than the black and white and then matching the geometry and superimposing only the colour data. In this case it works very well, with virtually no colour fringing at the edges of objects.
Edouard Manet's Le déjeuner sur l'herbe (Luncheon on the Grass) was painted in 1863. Rejected by the jury of the 1863 Salon, Manet exhibited Le déjeuner sur l'herbe under the title Le Bain at the Salon des Refusés (initiated the same year by Napoléon III) where it became the principal attraction, generating both laughter and scandal.
Manet was paying tribute to Europe's artistic heritage, borrowing his subject from the Concert champêtre, a painting by Titian attributed at the time to Giorgione (Louvre) and taking his inspiration for the composition of the central group from the Marcantonio Raimondi engraving after Raphael's Judgement of Paris. But the classical references were counterbalanced by Manet's boldness. The presence of a nude woman among clothed men is justified neither by mythological nor allegorical precedents. This, and the contemporary dress, rendered the strange and almost unreal scene obscene in the eyes of the public of the day. Manet himself jokingly nicknamed his painting "la partie carrée".
In those days, Manet's style and treatment were considered as shocking as the subject itself. He made no transition between the light and dark elements of the picture, abandoning the usual subtle gradations in favour of brutal contrasts, thereby drawing reproaches for his "mania for seeing in blocks". And the characters seem to fit uncomfortably in the sketchy background of woods from which Manet has deliberately excluded both depth and perspective. Le déjeuner sur lherbe - testimony to Manet's refusal to conform to convention and his initiation of a new freedom from traditional subjects and modes of representation - can perhaps be considered as the departure point for Modern Art.
The Musée d'Orsay (The Orsay Museum), housed in the former railway station, the Gare d'Orsay, holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography, and is probably best known for its extensive collection of impressionist masterpieces by popular painters such as Monet and Renoir. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986.

Think about waking up in the morning in a green field pointed with smiling daisies, birds chanting at your awekening. The warm breeze caressing your skig lightly while you wash your eyes and think of a ripe fruit to eat for breakfast.
The day ahead of you, sunny and warm and lazily quiet, the camera ready to face all the photos you will want to take.

High Line | The Standard High Line Hotel 29/04/2015 15h05
The highline with The Standard High Line Hotel with one of the many roof top bars (Le Bain) of the city of New York.
The Standard, High Line, formerly The Standard, is an 18-story luxury boutique hotel located at 848 Washington Street between West 13th and Little West 12th Streets in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan, New York City. It stands 17 meters above street level, above the High Line, a former elevated railroad track reconstructed into a linear park. The hotel, which has 337 guest rooms, was designed by the architects Ennead Architects (formerly Polshek Partnership) and was completed in 2009.

High Line Park
The High Line (also known as the High Line Park) is a 2.33 km New York City linear park built in Manhattan on an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line. Inspired by the 4.8-kilometer Promenade plantée (tree-lined walkway), a similar project in Paris completed in 1993, the High Line has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway and rails-to-trails park.
