Photographer’s Note

The cathedral of St. Gatien in Tours. Construction began in 1170 and continued until the 15th Century.

The inhabitants of Tours (Les Tourangeaux) are renowned for speaking the "purest" form of French in the entire country. The pronunciation of Touraine is widely regarded as the most standard pronunciation of the French language, devoid of any perceived accent (unlike that of most other regions of France, including Paris). Gregory of Tours wrote in the 6th century that some people in this area could still speak Gaulish.

Hello Chris,
Very nice POV, very nice composed and presented picture in B&W. I like the bird in flight. I have captured a picture like this , waiting for the pigeon to get off.
Have a nice WE, Vasilis.

And hi again, Chris.

And again a wonderful work with the light and also, this time, with the low POV.

Well done.
