The red fish.

One sight.
Other sight.

In the village of Damvix, On right bank of Sèvre Niortaise river, in the Poitevin Marsh, Marais Poitevin, desiccated, noneasily flooded, which extends between bay de l'Aiguillon and the marsh wet known as "la Venise Verte", Green Venice.

The sea occupied there is 8000 years all the golf of Pictons.
The Marais Poitevin, Marsh From Poitou, old Gulf of Poitou, gulf of Pictons, extends on the plains from the Vendée in north, the plain of Niort in Deux-Sèvres in the east and the plain of Aunis in Charente-Maritime in the south. The 95000 hectares of the Poitevin Marsh, were built by the marine currents and the alluvia brought by the rivers and rivers. Since the Neolithic era, the resources were exploited there. Salt, fishing, the breeding were developed there until the time Gallo Romaine. With the Middle Ages began from great work of draining and installation under the impulse of the abbeys, like benedictine abbey of Maillezais. They continued in particular under king Henri IV at the 17th century, and at the 19th century. It was necessary and it is still necessary, to contain the effects of the sea and to often evacuate surface waters of a marsh to the lower part of the open seas.
On the whole thousands of kilometers of channels of all sizes, drains, ditches, conches, were dug.

The marshes are divided into two, the desiccated marshes of 47,000 hectares, and wet the marshes known as Venice Verte of 29,000 hectares. 19000 hectares partially desiccated should be added.
Le marais poitevin.

Sévre Niortaise river is a coastal river of 158 km course, which takes its source close to Sepvret in Deux-Sèvres, crosses Niort, then goes down in the marsh from Poitou which it feeds, before throwing in the Atlantic Ocean in Aiguillon bay. Sèvre Niortaise river and Sèvre Nantaise river, gave their name to the department of Deux-Sèvres.

Damvix is a french commune, located in the department of the Vendée of the area of the Pays de la Loire, populated of 705 Damvitais in 1999, distributed out of, 12 km², that is to say 61 hab./km².

The neo-classic Church was completed in 1857, and shelters a stained glass of 1962, created by Gaston Chaissac, born on August 13th, 1910 in Avallon, deceased on November 7th, 1964 in the Roche-sur-Yon.My images of Damvix.

Bonjour, cher Joël,
J'ai regardé avec beaucoup d'intérêt tes images du marais poitevin ! Une richesse qu'il faut préserver !
Bien vu, l'originalité de cette image mettant en parallèle la canne du pêcheur et du pédalo (du moins, je le suppose) avec cette partie postérieure rappelant un poisson rouge !
Merci, Joël, de nous faire découvrir chaque fois des vues splendides.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Joël,
The downwards point of view on the fisherman makes for an unusual composition with some interesting graphical lines. I don't think the red 'fish' would make a very good lunch :-) Good light and colours, very good sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Joël,

Cadrage très amusant! Beaucoup de géométrie dans cette photo et un aller retour entre le vert et le rouge!

Belle composition,

Merci de ce partage

Déjà, rien que pour le titre tu as mérité ton sourire vert mais, en plus, ton cadrage vu d'en haut est vraiment excellent et ta composition digne de tous les éloges. Une grande réussite!
Amicalement

Bonjour Joel
C'est un POV peu commun pour photographier un pêcheur.Ça colle bien avec la diagonale de la canne,la casquette verte et la végétation.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

Uma bela imagem do dia-a-dia, irradiante de paz. Uma pena que a agua esteja um pouco poluida.

Abraço

bonjour joel;
cette vue plongeante sur le pecheur mais en évidence une certaine association de couleurs entre la casquette, la canne et le récipient et les bandes de la veste et le bout de pedalo.

n'oublie pas de le détacher en partant!!!!!!

Hi Joel,
nice the above view of the fisherman with the red boat to creates a good contrast in the scene.I like the good placement of the cement jetty,as the parallels lines of the green fishing rod and the boat too.Well done.

Regards,Danos

Clementi (43843) 2009-06-15 14:50

Ciao Joel,
una composizione differente dalle solite sia per pov che per soggetto, molto bella. Ma ha il coraggio di mangiare il pesce pescato in queste acque?

Bonsoir Joël,

Un cadrage et un POV bien choisis pour un résultat original et très réussi avec un bel effet graphique et un amusant clin d'oeil à ce gros poisson rouge qui pointe son nez.
Amitiés et bonne soirée,
Roger

Bonjour Joël.
Il est pourtant énorme ce poisson rouge mais il semble que le pêcheur ne l'a pas vu ! Belle composition avec cette vue en plongée sur le pêcheur. Ces régions de marais sont à protéger, l'équilibre naturel est fragile. Merci pour la note très instructive.
Amicalement
Jacques
