Bonsoir Georges,

Comment ne pas songer à la photo de la médina de Fez que tu as postée il y a peu. Ici aussi une belle composition qui nous montre cet assemblage de cubes. Deux plus cependant par rapport à ta photo de Fez: celle-ci me semble plus nette et les mosquées apportent une variété dans la géométrie. Très bon travail;
Amicalement,
Roger

Salut Georges,
Roger a raison, on pense à ton travail à FEZ.
J'aime bien cette vue sur tous ces toits serrés les uns contre les autres avec le linge qui sèche ici ou là. A nouveau une très bonne prise.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Hi Georges,

You caught spectacularly busy city texture build by mud. Excellent POV while ending a huge mosque and its highest minarets at top of hill. Very interesting architecture there. I like slightly greenly tones at front part a lot too. Great one with your very informative notes, congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Hello Georges,
The compactness of this view has a great effect. The buildings, all on different angles, appear almost like in a cubistic painting. There is an amazing lot of small details to discover and get lost in. You have captured the jumble of Cairo, including the haziness. Well done.
Regards,
Gert

Bonsoir Georges
Intéressante différence de contraste avec l'avant-plan, c'est quand même la pollution atmosphérique qui donne cet effet, je connais car j'ai vécu au Caire une grande partie de ma vie.
L'image est bien prise mais malgré les belles architectures, les mosquées d'Egypte font triste mine par rapport à d'autres comme celle d'Ispahan par exemple.
Cordialement.

From this POV the architecture seems to be a jumbled mass punctuated with minarets and domes, verifying the information in your note. The large mosque at the top of the hill dominates its surroundings. I like the way the foreground has good contrast which fades towards the background as it becomes lost in the city pollution haze. Well done

Funny, indeed, Georges. I actually took a look at this photo before I posted mine and part of my note was stolen from you - sorry! It was the best photo I found in many pages of Egypt in TE and the note is really good - not usual to find such a good critic of the touristic monuments (I totally agree with you by the way). I'm curious about from where this was taken...
Perfectly exposed and composed in a clean image - no pollution in the air seen here. Congratulations.
