Very beautiful. Well done.

very nice

Beautiful colours and lighting, Henri!

Beautiful picture, very clear.

Striking image capture here, Henri. Very well seen and captured. Kudos, rek.

Magical light against a suitably dramatic sky ... wonderful. To make it perfect , I may have wanted a little foreground , to give it depth . The light was too good to miss , though. Lovely.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Walter, here is version from another view point and with a foreground.

Regards, Henri

Heri, what a great place!!And perfect time to make an exposure also...very well done!! I love the place...so beautiful!!! Great job.... 7/7 regards, Rajeev.

Thank you Rajeev.

Wonderful capture of light and color in this extrordinary image. Best Regards

... are you living in this area now? I was just there in September, in perfect weather (shooting the Romanesque churches, of course - Souillac, Beaulieu, etc.) I think how wonderful it is there and your shots are the perfect reminder. Merci.

Thank you Denis. Alas I don't live there but always in Paris. I was in this area during the last holidays in july. Beautiful area where I have shot and shot as never before. I would have like to be there in september too. Regards, Henri.

... but the French countryside? Incroyable. Just spent seven weeks shooting Romanesque churches, primarily in the Yonne, Saone-et-Loire, Puy-de-Dome, Haute-Loire, and Vienne. From the way you shoot your photos, I know you appreciate your home. To me, who lived there seven years and have returned almost every year for 25 years, it is still astonishing to me. I always look forward to seeing your shots and think wistfully forward to the time when I move back.

 

We didn't get a chance to shoot the Pyrenees or Normandie this year, so that will be for next year's trip. At that point, we should have pretty well covered the major areas of French Romanesque.

beautiful, well saturated colors fitting with the low light and the menacing sky.

The light is amazing. Brilliant yellow, glowing against that dark gray sky. Incredible shot.

Tres belle lumi貥 sur celle ci.

I cannot believe I missed this (and its sibling). Henri, you are truly a great photographer! This one , IMO, is a signature work.

What a splendid view, Henri, and you captured it at the "golden hour" of perfect light.
