Nice composition. The scribble ambiance is a good means to conciliate the eye with the huge building: it becomes something that can be played with on the paper. That's what do the children in their plays: they create models of whatever bothers them and overcome it in the play space!...

Very beautiful sky and that "bleu majestueux". It seems that the flowers are in ecstasy of their own scent! Thanks for sharing and all my best regards.

Very beautiful composition: colors, light, reflections, angle and lines... Very nice use of asian (chinese?) ideogrames on the diagonal. Bravo and thanks for sharing.

What a creative superposition of these so different vertical facades! Almost a "real layered shot". Beautiful. Bravo.

Very nice composition. Lovely reflection of ice-drops and the sunrise orange colors; and the suspense of the ice sliding down the "slope"!
Beautiful, Bravo!

Beautiful! There is a nice contrast between the locks and apertures; as there is between light and shadow or between yeloow and blue! I like the composition and textures. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jeanette,
I've been studying Physics (Paris VII) and Computer Science (Paris VI) between 79 and 85. You've been so close to it: L'Institut du Monde Arabe is just on the other corner of Jussieu block!!...
Best regards.

Thanks, Dear Ina, and glad that you find it interesting. Jussieu is the name given to the university that has been built (in early 70's I think) in place of the anciant "Halle au cuir" (in the 6th arrondissement, between Rue des Ecoles and La Seine). The central tower hosts the main administration. The picture is taken from the main entrance of the campus. I have lots of good souvenirs of this part of Paris as I have been studient at Jussieu for almost 6 years! There are a few other shots that I'll upload later. Best regards.

Impressive shot. Each face has a history (I love the smile of the girl at the left!) I am (just like Andrzej) amazed how successfully you pass from one theme to another. But I don't believe that it is just a question of shooting at the right moment: there should be an immense work of reflection and comparison of different shots that leads to selecting the one or those that have the potential to become... (as they all become, actually!)... excellent art works.

Very nice capture: the guys seem "touching" the reality with their eyes, having "closed" their hands in a "no-need-to-act" posture. This presence of eyes and absence of hands is lovely. Barvo and best regards, Dear Ina!

Geometry and reflection. Very nice angle and lighting. I like this series of building-shots. They're inspiring in how an everyday object can become a subject of art and generator of beauty. Thanks for sharing them, Dear Jeanette!

Nice capture: patterns and texture are beautiful. Especially the red-magenta-brown colors of bricks and blue-lightgreen-cyans.
May I suggest a different crop centered on the flag and excluding newer buildings (see below)?
Thanks for sharing this nice view.

Great angle and beautiful abstract indeed. And the art of shooting a reflection-less glass façade! And making an abstract view of some traditional thing, modernized and hi-tech-ed by the architect... an amazing series of conceptual transformations. Congratulations and thanks for sharing this superb view.

I would have cropped it differently if I had to do it now!! But the idea is the same: a false perspective. Indeed the lines are forming a triangle but you like to see a perspective effect and at the same time you feel that it's not a true perspective: the mind swings between the illusion and the reality!
Glad that you liked it and thanks for your encouragements.

Thank you Jeanette. It is the ceiling of the lobby of a hotel in Kish Island (Persian Gulf). I have other shots from that ceiling that I'll try to work and post. The texture and strange composition of curves are amazing. Here's a raw picture:

Two facing empty benches under a nude tree in a moody atmosphere... "Great Expectations" is THE title. Fortunately these expectations will be fullfilled some day (in 4 or 5 months time!). The worst ones are those based on an uncertain illusion: nobody knows when and how the waiting would end, if ever.
Very nice, English landscape (recalls me outdoor scenes- as I imagined them- while reading Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights as English course texts!...)
Thanks for sharing.

I would categorize this picture in Abstract first! The observer knows that it's a building but more she looks at it and more she asks herself: "Is it really a building?!" There is a "refined" and "purified" aspect in this picture that make the mind imagine "what-else" objects. And the fact that it might be an "other-than-building" object frees the imagination for other source candidates: a kind of shaving machine or razor or even a postmodern packaging for a chocolate bar...
So it's an abstract mind-triggering object with multiple interpretations!
Anyhow: precise shot, beautiful light, impressive and eye-catching shape. Congratulations.

There is a wise mixture of warmth and cold in this picture. The amazing thing is that the warm lights (the sky in the background and the light on the jetty) are somehow inspiring anxiety and the cold blue water inspires calm and serenity!
The observer feels being in solidarity with the lonely boat as the very foreground of the picture is the blue water: the observer is floating on water like the boat. They both look the horizon with anxiety...
An artistic composition, for me, is one that simultaneously inspires a superposition of interpretations and feelings. This picture seems to have acheived this in great simpicity. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice contrast of textures and... well! it's my perception... one could find some similitudes between the tag shapes and rhino's profile (especially the horn). Even if the train is not seen in its entirety, the rhino recall the huge moving mass of a train... Beautiful collage.

Very nice reflection. Besides the stars and the antaenna, I liked the wooden board posed in diagonal on the modern windows!! The modernity seems like the reflection of the pre-modernity. The same minds as those living behind old windows live behind modern windows.
Excellent capture. Congratulations.

GRRRREAT ABSTRACT!
It's much more than a "capture": you've "tamed" the modern building; destructured it for restructuring it as you have liked it to be!
Very nice. Best regards and wishing you a very Happy New Year!
