Description
Il était une fois un roi, le roi Bodawpaya ( d´accord, ces rois birmans ont tous des noms à coucher dehors, ce n´est pas ma faute...) qui vecut au début du 19 éme siécle. Il a decidé de construire le plus gigantesque batiment au monde. Faut dire que les rois n´avaient pas beaucoup à faire et passaient leur temps a inventer des lubies de ce genre. Surtout que c´est les autres qui bossaient, ils traçaient les plans.
L´edifice gigantesque montait, montait... Jusqu´à que le roi meurre en 1819 et un terrible tremblement de terre ebranle l´edifice en 1838. Il a provoqué une fente qui a compromis la construction pour toujours.
On dit que le roi a été chatié par son manque de modestie. Je ne suis pas responsable pour la veracité des légendes birmanes. D´abord, elles sont terriblement compliqués et de toute façon je ne peux pas vérifier.
Vous croyez ou pas, mais l´édifice est là, à Mingun. La fente aussi. Et ils sont enormes, tous les deux.
Once upon a time ... there was a king, the king Bodawpaya ( Ok, these Burmese kings have impossible manes, but it's not my fault ...) who lived in the early 19 th century. He decided to build the largest building in the world. The Kings did not have much to do, and spent their time inventing this kind of thing. Mostly because is the others who worked, , they only drew up the plans.
The gigantic edifice rising, rising ... Until that the king die in 1819, and a terrible earthquake compromise the structure of building in 1838. It led to a slot which condemned the building forever.
The people say that the king has been condemned by his lack of modesty. I am not responsible for the veracity of Burmese legends.
First they are terribly complicated and anyway I can not verify.
You believe it or not, but the building is there, in Mingun. The slot also. And they are enormous, both.

Une histoire tout à fait grandiose et fascinante! Le temple aussi d'ailleurs. Tu es rentrée dedans? Belle photo mais… ce que je ne comprends pas c'est le manque de piqué de ton image: on cherche partout, mais c'est mou. Normalement, sur un plan éloigné comme ça, et sensiblement le même pour toute la composition, il ne devrait y avoir aucune erreur, ça devrait être super-net, non? En pareil cas, tu pourrais faire un petit coup d'accentuation qui arrangerait bien les choses: dans Image > Mode choisis Couleurs Lab. Dans Couches, activer la couche L seulement. Faire Filtre > Renforcement > Accentuation (de la sorte tu n'agis que sur les gris). Ne pas exagérer l'accentuation surtout, car c'est assez destructeur. Reactiver la couche composite Lab. Repasser en mode RVB. Bon, je vais pas "chier dans la colle", 5+ tout de même.
