At Saint-Georges area

Circumstances brought me at the Saint-Georges area today, where I had the chance to take a few photos. I'm glad to present three of them to you right now.

The church of Sainte Trinité. As usual, a huge building with too much decoration, too complicated for its supposed purpose which is to bring people closer to their god.

Are all these extras necessary? By the way, the sky looks much better here!

At the same time, on the other side of the street, the residences for humans look like little boxes. Although they have this nice classic architecture, there's a difference between the church and the houses, isn't there?

It's a good thing that these pictures I'm posting aren't overexposed. This way I can have the houses and the sky.

"One French out of four has immigrant origins." How can you not love such messages? Especially now, that the stupidity rate in Europe seems to go upwards.

The edited version has nicer colours, I think. And the "one out of four" thing, in other areas of Europe is even more.

Am I improving in editing? I'd like to read an opinion, here or in the Facebook page. This is the 40th post and there are more to come! Thanks for reading!

Something from the previous days

So, today I have two photos that I took the days before but they didn't make it to the posts. Also, they are too nice to be left out completely, so here they are. The first one is from line 6. Behind the protective bars and the trees, there is a building that looks old. Its style is met in many buildings throughout Paris and, even if I love modern stuff, in architecture I have a thing for oldies. I admired them in Amsterdam and Torino as well.

The main differences are on the design of the roof and on the banisters of the balconies.

Is the editing making the details clearer? I don't think so, but the photo looks nicer this way.

Back to the area of La Défense, next to the thumb. To the left, we can see the entrance for Cnit, one of the commercial centers of the area. Far away, at the top right corner of the photo, is the grande arc of La Défense. And, in the center, the main subject of the photo. The flowers. When I get my hands to that 650D, I will take so many photos of flowers that the blog will look like a hippy blog from the 60's. I mean, if such a thing existed, anyway.

And here are the flowers with their colours a bit more intensified. I'm happy with this picture.

Paris metro, line 6

Even though I like very much using the public transportation (not only because I don't have my own vehicle), I rarely use the bus and the tram, that offer you the chance to see the city. Instead, I use the quicker metro, which goes underground most of the time and all you can see is the dungeon. At least for the majority of the stations. Line 6, for example, goes above the ground for several stations, giving the passengers a nice view. A view I took advantage of yesterday, to take some photos.

The central building of Le Monde, one of the best-known newspapers in France.

And here again, after the necessary editing. It was almost 21:00, which means that the sun was still well up.

I love this picture. While the train is moving, as the iron bars can show, I managed to get a quite clear image of the road, the trees and the cars. A photo I'm proud of! Of course, it needs its editing!

There you go. The sky is burnt and looks more white than blue, but the rest looks very very nice.
