Another view of the Cathédrale Saint-André, in Bordeaux—which I've shown before, here and here. It's probably not the last time, either, because I took 55 pictures while I was here (and all in the space of 10 minutes; we arrived just before it closed for a few hours). [To see more churches from around the world, go here.] |
Quite a storybook image. Although this postdates her one can really imagine Eleanor of Aquitaine and friends experiencing this scene. It is interesting how you have the soaring spire(s) below and subservient to the flying buttress. This looks a little like a cubist interpretation of an ancient Roman architectural mural. Another one for a published photo book. Did I mention that I like it? It is a pleasure to run one eyes over and around.
ReplyDeleteGreat church
ReplyDeleteNice catch. I remember Escher's stairs.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see more pictures of this beautiful cathedral.
Had to laugh at the Escher comment. Yes, this shot does remind me of his stairs. When creativity strikes, go for it. Doesn't matter how many pictures you shoot in 15 minutes.
ReplyDeleteGot to say I agree with every one else on this photo, it's great
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful architectural details
