flight above Carcassonne Photo

Photographer’s Note

Carcassonne (south of France),
walking the last friday in the Bastide Saint-Louis (name of the centre of town, also said lower-town by opposition to the Cité), to find some façades to shoot.

Jean Bringer street (local chief of the Resistance, murdered the 19th of august 1944), in front of the Prefecture, 2 old buildings called my attention : decrepit façades, old paint of the shutters and the bull's eyes on the top of the orange house.

While I was thinking my frame, a plane of a famous low-coast irish company flew over the centre of town roofs.

Anglo-Saxons people like south of France and appreciate the Carcassonne area (to live in, in particular) so there are more and more flighs between Great Britain and the city.
And that's true that planes fly over very close to the roofs, to land some kilometres away.

I'll come back in a next post on the situation of housing in the centre of Carcassonne and the renovation plans.

Salut Yannis,
Une compo sympa, avec cet avion.
Les textures des façades sont très belles aussi.
Bonne soirée,
JB.

Les façades des maisons ressemblent à s'y méprendre à une rue près de chez moi. Beau rendu de l'usure des bois et des couleurs.

salut Yannis,

Une compo décalée et intéressante. J'aime beaucoup ces vieilles matières sur les murs, qui, à elles seules, valaient une image !
Bon we
Marie

Hi Yannis,
That is an interesting item that you have captured. Also in Holland we have problems like that. But despite that, you could make a very nice image of it.
