Hi Pierre,
A picture that has more meaning than the pure visual appearance. Quite thought provoking. In 2001 I had a pleasure to visit model of the European part of ISS in EADS, Bremen.

Salut VC
c'est super ce cliché du pasage de la station spatial qui attend la venue, peut-être demain, de Julie.
Amitiés

Bonjour Pierre,
Une composition originale et abstraite, les étoiles cadrent bien le déplacement de la station spatiale. L'utilsation d'un trépied et d'un temps d'exposition ont donné une belle image. Une bonne réussite, bonne journée.

Hello Pierre,
This is a lovely photo, it reminds me of a geometric composition, like something I would see on a calculus graph, (not that I enjoyed that subject very much!!). It is amazing that you were able to get such a clear capture of the path of the ISS, and it is beautiful surrounded by the stars of the constellation. A very original and interesting photo.

Bonsoir Pierre,
Une photo intriguante à première vue, et on découvre une belle composition, très poétique. J'aime particulièrement que tu nous montre la Grande Ourse en arrière plan.
Diane
