Petite France, a photo from Alsace, East

Photographer's Note

Petite France

Probably the most famous part of Strasbourg is Petite France, a quarter located at the western tip of the Grande Île, where the River Ill is split up in four smaller canals. The area is known for its weirs, locks and half-timbered houses. This photo was taken from Pont Saint-Martin.

Hi Lars,
Charming view of this town, a good angle, I like architecture and colors with this well captured sunlight, tfs.

Hallo Lars,
Hier krijgen we heel wat prachtige gevels te zien. Eén enkele zelfs in een vurige kleur.
De stroming in het water wordt heel goed weergegeven.
Ik vermoed dat een wandeling doorheen la Petite France ontelbare fotomogelijkheden biedt.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi Lars,
I think I remember this place. Indeed a very beautiful part of the old town. Half timbered houses look great and flowing water is always a nice feature. The weather was also great when you were there.

Hej Lars,
Vackra hus och en fin vinkel. Ljuset spelar stor roll, men allra mest slående är kanske hur vattnet forsar fram och rör sig mot oss i en strid ström som skapar ett mönster av skum på ytan. Bilden är fint balanserad med husen på höger sida som får två tredjedelar av utrymmet.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Pozdrav.

Lep pogled i trenutak, dobar tekst ...
Lep most i arhitektura na obali, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, perspektivom i uhvacenim trenutkom sa oblacima koji dolaze.
Lep deo grada sa rekom i fotografija.
Lepa panorama.
Dobar tekst o koriscenoj tehnici i elementima snimka.

Zelim vam sve najbolje u novoj nedelji koja je pocela.
Paja

lars

a special localization of the old town in the islets, I presume in the floods this part of the city suffers a lot. nice image showing the façades and the other aspects of the town in this area.

take care

Hi Lars,
Very charming array of houses, so stylish and colorful and of course next to the riverside which always is a great bonus.
It was a lovely weather day. I like the patterns on the water surface which decorate the foreground,

Hi Lars,

You have captured well the power of the current. The point of view is showing the detrails of the buildings. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Hello Lars,
I wonder why it is called Little France, I wonder if it is from times when the Germans had Strasbourg.

Hi Lars
Well captured image of water side houses in this charming village, depicting the essence of the place and the weather is of great help. Excellent shot

Hi Lars,

Good capture of this beautiful city, with the bright red building at right contrasting well with the blue sky and water. Superb sharpness and pedestrian walkway adds perspective. Tfs!

ikeharel (112497) 2021-09-14 1:08

This as I remember one of the most charming sight along the Ill canal, Lars, beautifully in style.
A good picture space allocation, notable the stream of water in the picture.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hello Lars,

The foaming water makes a very active f/g against which we can see these amazing, colourful, half-timbered houses. They are all charming yet, so very different in details!
Yours is a fine exposure of what must be one of the most photographed areas of the city!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

worldcitizen (15960) 2021-09-15 11:00

Hello Lars,
This whole area of Strasbourg looks like it could be the subject of paintings and postcards. The houses are beautiful, and they look great with the water in the foreground, and the sunny, blue sky. Take care!

Dag Lars

Dit ziet er inderdaad behoorlijk toeristisch uit, maar het is een stad en regio die ik niet ken, dus fijn om je foto's te volgen. Bedankt & groetjes.
