Description

I start today a series of photo a little longer than usual. This series shows monuments of the city of Albi (Tarn, France), which is very close to my home. Some of these photos, like today's, are retouched for perspective (more or less); In town, there is often little recoil to take pictures, and I prefer that the result is pleasing to the eye! I will put historical indications in my next picture. I hope you will not get tired of this series. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200

I hope you have a thousand of them! Awesome shot, JC! Wow what a fascinating exterior on this structure. You know what it reminds me of? The finish that NightShift3D puts on his sets and buildings. I love that. It always renders so beautifully. Viva more pictures! I gotta' learn to speak French.

En voyant les personnes sur l'esplanade, on peut apprécier la majesté de cette immense cathédrale, toute en briques roses..........le POV est bien choisi, la lumière est belle, magnifique photo, Jean-Claude !

Une magnifique photo pour cette cité ancrée dans l'histoire des Cathares, où il doit être facile de quitter le monde moderne pour se replonger dans un autre monde, historique et onirique . J'aime beaucoup la façon dont tu montres la taille et la masse de cette cathédrale imposante et superbe.

Très jolie photo Jean-Claude, Albi, un lieu chargé d'histoire (douloureuse toutefois), ça doit être un coin très sympa à vivre :)

200 years to build a cathedral! That's what'cha call dedication! And it's still standing too! If something is still here after 100 years we call it a historical sight lol.

So much of the architecture I see seems as fortresses, and find difficulty imagining what is within.
