Burgundy Roof Photo

Photographer’s Note

Views of architecture details must be very rare in my gallery if at all existing, so time to fill that gap with this photo of a small roof that can be seen in Beaune in the french region Burgundy.

It's a simple city house not able to match the other worthwhile buildings to be found in this city in the heart of famous vineyards, but I just found nice how the owners tried to match the roof triangle with the flowers.

Salut JY,
Peut être pas fréquent dans ta gallerie mais le coup d'oeil est bien la !!
Effectivement la symétrie entre le toit et les fleurs semble presque parfaite,
les détails sont bien rendus,
Très reussi !!!
Amicalement Thierry

Salut Jean-Yves,
Alors... on est un peu "cassé" après se journée de ski? :-)
Au moins t'as pu passer la journée au soleil et sur les lattes. Moi je crois que j'ai chopé la grippe de Susanna... vraiment pas la grande forme aujourd'hui.
J'aime bien cette compo, toute simple, mais ça la fait bien! J'espère que demain tu vas nous montrer une belle vue d'Adelboden!
Bonne nuit!
Bibi

Salut JY

What a beautiful windown! Very graphical. The people who own this house must have good taste! Excellent capture!

Great detail shot of this window and roof. I just left a comment for someone else where I said that I would like to see more close-ups of architectural details on TE, and then I see this! I think that these details are just as important for giving a sense of what a place is like as the classic shot of the whole building does. The triangle of flower pots is a very nice touch, and shows that someone is really thinking. Good eye to spot this!

J'aime bien, mais avec une belle nana à la fenêtre ça aurait été encore mieux ;-) mais on peut pas tout avoir.

Hi JY,

an interesting detail of architecture. Is this a typical kind of window for the region? Looks beautiful in any case.

Hi Jean-Yves. Yes this is most different for you. The colors seem realistic and the flowers certainly do add a lot. I might have played with the POV a bit though. Nice shot Jean-Yves.

Belle image de ma région avec cette espèce de symétrie créée par les fleurs et le petit toit. Le haut me semble quand même un tout petit peu pale (un petit coup de saturation ou de contraste à rajouter?)

Bonjour Jean-Yves,
J'aime bien cette compo toute simple, bien centrée et reposante. Marrant ce triangle de flaurs qui semble refléter le triangle du toit (on appelle cà un chien assis je crois ?)
Bon week-end.
Amicalement. Christian

I like picture of windwos and this is very beautiful and particular.
Very good details of the roof and strange composition with the flowers.

Salut Jean Yves

I like the tight framing, & repetition of the red shingles, which give the image a mosaic quality. Excellent color, sharpness, & lighting. C'est bon travail. Amites

Hello Jean Yves,
ce qui est frappant (ouch...;oP) ce le realisme de la texture, je serais presque tenter de dire que l'image a du relief. C'est simple et bien cadree, on peut dire que cette fenetre est joliement fleurie.
A+

Looks like the same window. Yours was taken in 2002, mine in 2003.
Best,
Mike

Salut Jean Yves,

windows and doors are my favorite subjects, especially in France. The person who owns this house has taken some time to match the shape of the flowers to the shape of the window cover. It doesn't look like the sun was shining that day but still a lovely composition.
