Merci ! ... nous faisons tous de notre mieux pour honorer ce monde !

Cyril Marchand in reply to micmac’s comment, 6 months ago

... j’ai surtout celui de poser un oeil tendre sur ce monde… mais je ne suis pas le seul : il parait même qu’il existe des personnes qui fabriquent des petits mondes à eux dans leurs jardins !!! Une façon comme une autre de dire merci à la Terre ! ;-)... Merci Gisèle…

Cyril Marchand in reply to Andrew Hildebrand’s comment, 2 months ago

I’m living in a village, Merville, next to Toulouse, the fourth biggest city in France. When you come from Toulouse, you have to go that road. And at the end, when you leave this wooden tunnel, you find the Merville’s Castle, shyly hidden in his green grounds…

Cyril Marchand in reply to Vimm’s comment, 2 months ago

Exactly Vimm !

Point is that day, I stopped my car right in the middle of the road to take that pic… It was a misty morning… Hopefully, no car went ! ;-)
Have a nice day and thanks for your com’ !

Wonderful! We here in central Washington State US have lots of trees, and lots of drives, streets, and even wide avenues that are overhung with trees.
Yours remind me of a US Marine honor guard sheltering the newly wed couple with their swords.

This is an image that fills you with longing… truly special. So sad to read that the trees are dying! Great capture and a worthy tribute to their beauty and grace

aila, 2 months ago

Beautiful image.Excellent shot!

Cyril Marchand in reply to Dawne Olson’s comment, 2 months ago

I’ve heard recently they found a medecine… Hope it will be the right one !
Do you know the Midi’s Channel, in french Le Canal du Midi, linking both Mediteranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean ? There are thousands and thousands of these trees, planted more than a century ago by an man, owning a big factory of cigarette’s paper, all along this aquatic road. The deal was “when undred years will be passed, we could cut down all of these trees for our business !”... Hopefully, the Channel has been classified by Unesco… I can imagine The Canal du Midi without his big plane trees !
Thanks again for your comment Dawne !

Cyril Marchand in reply to ROOBARB’s comment, 2 months ago

Cyril Marchand in reply to Brad Myers’s comment, 2 months ago

Apparently, sycamores are safe now, I’ve heard … Hope it’s truth !
:-)
thanks for your com’ Brad !

Cyril Marchand in reply to Julie Bauschardt’s comment, 2 months ago

It is indeed ! not really a safe way for cycling but it’s still being nice, specially by night when you drive slowly this tunnel listenning an opéra….

such a beautiful photo

Lenka, about 1 month ago

Wow, great photograph! Perfect composition, repetition, perspective…

Cyril Marchand in reply to Lenka’s comment, about 1 month ago

Let me tell you a secret… my camera has done everything !
;-)
Thanks

Lenka, about 1 month ago

Oh Cyril, I have to disagree: at least I’m quite sure your camera hadn’t composed the picture, and didn’t set the right focal length, both being crucial for getting a great photograph like this one! It may be an auto-focus, auto-exposure – it’s not that important; I’m pretty sure the old famous photographers would use these auto features too (at least now and then) :) It’s still the photographer (not the camera!) who makes the picture :)

Brian Carey, about 1 month ago

As I once heard a great photographer say “it’s all in the light”. But what caught my eye initially are the shadows, created by the trees, crossing the road. One interpretation perhaps, a staircase leading into the light. Beautiful photo and thanks for sharing it!

ArtOfficialArt, about 1 month ago

Lovely piece of work!

Nathan Walraven, 26 days ago

Wow, this is magnificant! I love the vibrant colour of green on either side of the road, I love the shadows of the trees outlined across, I love the distant fog as you apprach the unknown. This is an amazing picture!!

Christopher E..., 22 days ago
