Although theres no sun ,you took all the best profit of the grey light,love the thunderstorm in the background and the bird is a superbe extra bonus.

Hello MOOn, just read your profile- you made me smile- it is so original and fun.. - I like the adventurous bit.. your latest posting is just stunning.. sharp and in such detail - with the lone seagull adding a great touch, especially with the dark clouds in the BG.. definite follower of your gallery. Have fun Ric

Bonjour Monika,

Belle composition symétrique et surtout belle ambiance de tristesse renforcée par ce client gris et menaçant.
C'est bien réalisé.

Hello Monika - Fabulous light. The stormy sky and dark tones of the sea work perfectly to underline the lonely aspect of this grave. A beautiful shot. Congratulations Rosemary

Hi Monika
a very atmospheric photo.
the low cieling height of the clouds works in your favor here, as if they are pushing down.
i like the seagull too, you have an onlooker :)
nice shot
cheers

Bel endroit pour passer son éternité et pour continuer de rédiger les "mémoires d'outre tombe"! Tu as réalisé une superbe photo de cette tombe. Le cadrage est excellent et ce ciel chargé donne de très beaux contrastes avec la mer et les pierres de la tombe et de splendides tons d'image. Très beau!
Amicalement
JJ

Hello Monika,
A splendid place to lie in peace for the rest of time and a nice tribute to this great romantic writer now facing the see alone for eternity, but can he at least take advantage of the place ? Beautiful seascape in the background with a threatening sky that provides a good contrast. The tombstone leads the eye to the horizon and gives depth to the image. You perfectly illustrated Chateaubriand's deepest wish in this well framed composition. Very well done.
Regards,
Christian
