Hotel Nikko Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

My favorite building ever : when I was a kid, It was called Hotel Nikko. Windows made me think of TV screens.
Now it's a Novotel.

Wow. This is great. If I go to Paris again I want to see this. Indeed the windows look like TVs. Great picture.

I even like your ws.

... and I add it to my favorites.

this is very nice, a bit abstract photo, i like all those small windows - it is fun to try to find different ones. and scrolling the screen up and down gives a nice effect on my small screen, nice work

At long last I have the time to comment on this picture, which I like a lot.

All those TV-like windows seem to draw our attention in, as thought we could watch the lives inside the way one watches a television program. The TV metaphor just makes you that much more aware of how many dramas are playing out inside.

Well done! I like your workshop too because, while this image, cropped or framed the way that it is, is artistically superior, it's nice to have some context and see the whole building. It adds a layer of enjoyment to the main image.

salut Jean françois;
J'aime aussi le Niko, dommage qu'il s'appelle novotel aujourd'hui! le nom donnait de l'ambiance à l'édifice; le fait de ne pas avoir aligné les verticales ne me géne pas ici, je trouve que c'est un pied de nez aux lois de l'architecture!
bravo
