Menton

Photographer's Note

2ième photo de la visite de ce petit village de Sainte Agnès; sur les hauteurs de Menton.

Ici vous découvrez une nouvelle ruelle, descandant le long de petites boutiques comme ici un atelier de vitraux.
La lumière éclairant les rues en fin de journée est vraiment un régal pour le promeneur.

PS: niveaux, courbes, USM et cadre.

*************************************
Here is a second photograph of the set that give you a tour in the village Sainte Agnès, very close to Menton.
Around small street, you will discover small shops like the one you can see in the right part.
The light is a gift to the walker as it gives a very warm atmosphere to this village.

PS: level, curve, USM and frame.

You have done a wonderful job capturing the time, space and feeling of Sainte Agnès. It creates a strong desire within me to walk these streets and take it all in!

Very nice atmosphere in this view of the bending old cobblestone pathway. The whole setting with the buildings, vegetation, wrought-iron sign, and cat adds up to a very idyllic and pleasant total. The light you captured gives very warm colors to the scene. Beautiful shot, Alexandre.

superbe environment qui donne l'impression d'un village, belles pierres de construction, bons details.

DonQ (2625) 2004-10-04 16:35

Very nice shot Alexandre.
Small street with steps and so many details, specialy red-white cat, and even electrical wires are here a part of composition. Good lights and contrast.
Very well done.
Regards, Don.

La lumière est également un régal pour le lecteur, Cher Alexandre, j'aime cette composition qui ferait le bonheur d'un peintre.
Les couleurs sont douces et naturelles.
Très belle réussite Alexandre.
Merci pour le partage.

Hi Alexandre.

Once again you display to us a scene reminiscent to one of the most beautiful parts of your country. The image illuminated beautifully, and one is left wondering what lies further down the steps. Perhaps the inclusion of a step-struggling subject would enhance this one further though.

I certainly look forward to revisiting these parts of France next year.

Regards,

Vic, Singapore.

I love these street scenes from small towns. They have such a tranquil feel to them. THe colors and textures are really beautiful and really make the atmosphere. The cat is a must for this shot that makes it the perfect representation of all streets like this. I like how the modern sign really fits in well though with the modern color. Excellent eye and great shot. It reminds me of so many streets.

Une fois de plus, et celle-ci est encore plus belle en voyant plusieurs object, le chat,le tonneau, le nom de la rue à côté, tellement beacoup à voir et mise très balancé en composition. Chappeau Alexandre.

Superbe petite ruelle aux tons chauds et à la netteté parfaite. La composition est géniale et les couleurs très plaisantes. Exposition impeccable. Je vais voir si j'arrive à enlever les fils électrique dans un WS.
WS demain.

Like Thomas (Oldtree), i was also in Menton, but almost 25 years ago...; i would like to go there again...
I liked your photo a lot, this street is beautiful and you captured it with an excellent perspective.

bibiweb (8) 2004-10-05 12:29

Magnifique cette photo de Sainte Agnès... j'adore! Et le chat perché qui a l'air de d'attendre qu'une souris remonte l'escalier est un "plus" pour cette image aux nuances presque automnales.

sandpiper (5505) 2004-10-06 2:15

Well I agree with the others, you have done an excellent job of capturing the atmosphere of the small street. It really does invite to go there and see it for yourself. Your country is beautiful, and I thank you for sharing these images.

Clochette (8076) 2004-10-06 4:10

Magnifique, je me crois encore en vacances ;-)
Chapeau pour la lumière, je sais d'expérience à quel point c'est difficile à capter, dans ces ruelles étroites...

ophildeleau (80) 2004-10-06 7:40
