Photographer’s Note

- In my region – Provins Medieval City – The Caesar Tower - Dating the 12th century this tower is located at the top of the hill on which became established the city. It is the only octagonal donjon on square foundation known in the world. The tower is covered and shelters bells put down on a wooden framework, they achieve it by a staircase, this looking tower also acted as prison.

Bonjour Giorgio,

Tu as vraiment choisi l'angle de vue idéal, cette contre-plongée accentue en effet le côté impressionnant de cette tour. Excellent cadrage également qui inclut opportunément l'arbre sur la gauche. Superbe ciel belu avec cette jolie corde de nuages.
Amitiés,
Roger

ciao Giorgio,
un fantastico POV basso che rende bene la mole della torre.
Cielo di un blu intenso ben in contrasto con i mattoni chiari,
