Photographer’s Note

Conversion... Memories of the Second World War, the blockhouses built by the Germans on the Atlantique coast disappear little by little ; destroyed and absorbed gradually by the waves of the océan. Some, like here in CAP FERRET, are used by artists as support for the realization of mural frescos... that one very is successful and amusing : humour and l'art to replace the war... a beautiful message!
That was worth a photograph.

D'accord pour cette reconversion ! Pour la photo, on sent encore un peu de pixellisation et un manque de détails dans le sable. Peut-être un peu surexposée ? Ou alors c'est à cause de l'heure de la prise de vue ? Moi j'aurai sans doute cadré plus serré, la mer et la plage peuvent être suggéré seulement.

I like this for its colors and the fact that artists make creative use of these destructive buildings.

Surely worth posting, i love graffiti and consider this great art and what a perfect place to paint! Very well seen and good that you kept enough context in it to make sense.

I like this pix displaying the fortification of WW II in this very painted/grafitti wall.
Interesting good capture, well cropped.

I agree with Burnham - these painting, their place at the ocean shore are very artistic. I think those artists who painted them have made the best way of conversion. Make art, not war! :)
The shot very well composed and cropped. The colours are nice too.

I guessed the only person who is not laughing is Adolf Hitler. This subject is worth taking Jean and composition is good. Except maybe, the color is a little bit fade, not saturated.

Bonjour Jean,

Un bon point de vue de ce blockhaus qui a été récupéré par les les artistes locaux. La photo a de belles couleurs et une bonne composition.
