To the sons of the Causses.

Started at the beginning of the XIXe century, the church was completed by the construction of its bell-tower in 1889.

One sight.
Other sight, November 27, 2008.

This church replaced the church Saint-Pierre, of XIe century. Now private property with the contiguous houses, together renamed Saint-Pierre Hermitage, located at localities the “Carboniès” on Right Bank of Dourbie, with the foot of Causse Noir, Black Causse. It was quoted in a bubble of the pope Innocent II in 1135.

The Causse Noir, Black causse, smallest of Grands Causses, owes its name with the dark color of the forests of pine which recovered the totality of the plate formerly.
The causse Noir extends on the departments from Aveyron, Gard and Lozere. It is limited by the throats of Jonte river to north, By the Tarn river in the west, the canyon of Dourbie river in the south and the east by the buttresses of the Cevennes.

The causses are limestones plateaus located in the South-western Southern part of the Solid mass-Exchange, of an altitude ranging between 700 to 1200 m. These plateaus are notched by deep valleys traversed by the Tarn, Dourbie, Jonte, Lot, Aveyron, inter alia rivers.

Revens is a french commune, located in the department of the Gard of the Languedoc-Roussillon area, populated of 24 Revenois in 1999, distributed out of 14 km², that is to say 2 hab./km².

In a typical landscape of Grands Causses, Revens is the most moved back commune of the department of Gard, and overlooks the valley of Dourbie river in the west and the canyon of Trévezel river in south-west.

Hello Joël,
I like the point of view and the way the light shines across the bell tower with its simple but beautiful decorations. The partly cloudy sky contributes to the mood and makes for a lovely soft light. Excellent natural colours and good sharpness. Well conceived framing that puts the church in the context of its surroundings.

Bonjour Joël,

Un autre bel endroit rural très bien présenté avec une utilisation optimale de la lumière hivernale qui valorise la couleur grise des pierres. Cadrage et pov une fois encore superbement choisi. Beau et intéressant.
Passe un excellent WE,
Roger

Ciao Joel,
un'altra perla che va ad aggiungersi alla tua bella collezione di chiese antiche. Molto particolare questo campanile con il portico alla base, una architettura abbastanza rara. Bella la luce invernale che fa contrastare la chiesa con il bel cielo azzurro. Mi piace molto il piccolo lampione arancione che attira piacevolmente l'occhio. Bravo!
Ciao, buona domenica!

Bonjour Joël,
le cadrage est parfait pour inclure la beauté de cette architecture dans la composition. Il y a un bon équilibre dans les éléments et une lumière et quelques ombres très effectives graphiquement.
Les tons doux de la pierre ont un joli contraste avec le bleu du ciel.
Belle réalisation.
Amicalement,
Josep

Hello Joel,
first of all, excellent colours and very good composition!
Second, quite a timeless scene! no modern activities, no cars, no people around...... this is curious :)
The blue sky with clouds is surely a good bonus for the shot :)
Interesting WS photos (which include a slightly different variant - it looks almost the same as the original, but I prefer the "original", final variant, though ....).
Best regards,
Elena

Bonsoir Joël,

La vue 3/4 de l'églsie est un atout à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de l'architecture de l'église. Les arbres et les murs de pierre cadrent bien l'édifice. La luminosité fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne soirée.

Bonjour Joël,

Tient, je retrouve la lanterne... Bon cadrage sur cet ensemble architectural où la lumière met bien en valeur ce joli clocher. Le ciel ajoute un agréable relief à l'image. Un petit village qui doit être bien agréable à parcourir. Merci pour la note toujours intéressante.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne fin de WE,

Jean-Charles

Ici aussi, ton ecriture est bien visible. Meme sans ta siganature j'aurais devine que ce tableau est parti de ton laboratoire. Encore une belle photo, soutenue par l'information complete. Encore merci, Joel, ami.

Hi Joel,
Good pov to show architectures built in different materials, where the older architectures built with rough stones and the younger tower built with smooth stones, I like it, thanks for sharing.

Salut Joël
J'apprécie celle-ci , le point de vue en 3/4 donne un certain relief au volume de l'architecture, la présence des ombres accentue aussi cet effet.
Amitiés.
