Description

Hello Rendosians ! I'm back with a picture captured last week in my former hometown : Metz (France) I've been so pleased to see this town after this period of quarantine. It was strange to see peoples with masks walking in the streets and in the same time I was so pleased to see that normal life is coming back ! On this capture you can see the Church Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains : it's the oldest church in France and one of the oldest churches in the world. It was constructed between 370 and 400 AD. In fact, the building had several functions during its history : it was used as a palaestra (a place to practice sports such as Greco-Roman wrestling), a church, an abbey and even a military warehouse. Today, Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains is protected as a cultural heritage and is used as a concert hall... Have a safe and great day ! Virginie

Eh ben ! hier, pas moyen de commenter...je peux enfin dire tout le bien que je pense de cette photo...le bâtiment est beau, certes mais il doit aussi beaucoup à la photographe ! C'est parfait : la règles des tiers est respectée et les couleurs et la lumière sont de la meilleure qualité. Ai-je dit que j'aime beaucoup ?

Your new capture is really very well done! Next week I finally have an appointment for a computed tomography (CT) and I hope that they will find out where exactly my unbearable back pain comes from. I wish you a already a nice weekend, stay vigilant and healthy!

Une surprise de taille pour cette photo et ce monument dont je n'avais jamais entendu parler! C'est une évidence, comme dit Gaius, que cette photo est techniquement parfaite, question cadrage, contraste et répartition des surfaces, et en plus, elle met en valeur un ouvrage de valeur inestimable. Au fait, sais-tu où se trouve le plus vieux temple protestant luthérien de France?! réponse : dans ma ville natale ! Bravo, pour l'histoire et la photo, Virginie , c'est superbe !
