Description
Le Belle Epoque
Partly DAZ 3 & partly DAZ 4 PRO, rendered in the last one's render engine. Got the idea from seing the beautiful scenery "Esprit d' Autrefois" at RuntimeDNA, a classic "Belle Epoque" scenery to play with. Let Robotoko & Te Und time travel and sit at the cafe. The tram was part of the package, and I added buildings from DAZ' "Le Village", found a very old 18'th century car (left) and a old bike, a classic horse cart (DAZ), a cherry tree, few people in fitting dress - and voila!
Playing with light and props were the spending of many hours worth. All you see here, except the sky is 3D stuff, so the file and scene are simply huge, and DAZ 4 Pro did't crash one single time!
"Le Belle Epoque" lasted from the last quarter of the 1800's until World War I. it was a time with optimism, ingenuity, science, call it the start of modern times. The great painters, like Monet, Manet, Toulose-Lautrec..But also shadowy, sheer greedy capitalism, exploitation of the workers in the factories at home in Europe and big fortunes created at colonialism outside Europe. But very human, we tend to remember and prefer the good things in life..
Read about the time period here (English):

The music chosen is Bizet's Bohemian Dance. Bizet died unfortunately very young, only as 37 years old, in the beginning of this Golden Age. If you like, use the link below and lean back and listen...

Notre photographe a pris cette image glorieuse où ils profiter du soleil dans un restaurent à proximité de la Rue Métropolite. Interrogés sur leurs plans, il a répondu: Pure Pleasure ..

Amazingly Cute ,crowded and beautiful scene Johnny:-))It seems your great characters on a time travel this time!:-)))As for the "Le Belle Epoque" I agree to you,but unfortunately I remember mostly the " But also shadowy, sheer greedy capitalism, exploitation of the workers in the factories at home in Europe and big fortunes created at colonialism outside Europe" parts!! Because we still feel that ruthless capitalism's dirty games directly on our life's! :-)) Wonderful labor my friend,Thank you for sharing:-))

A beautiful Spring scenery, you have created here Johnny, love the blossom tree etc., "pure pleasure' indeed! BB BTW Belle Epoque was the name of a female vocal trio, based in Paris, France. The group first rose to popularity during the mid to late 1970s with a disco remake of the song, "Black Is Black", originally a hit in 1966 for the Spanish group Los Bravos.

Ah ! Paris...the city of lights...your magnificent image is a great homage to this superb city, thanks. Where the music is concerned, I'd have chosen something by Offenbach...
