Weekend Reflections: Sainte Bernadette


1930s Sainte-Bernadette church reflected in a modern glass building in Jussieu neighbourhood for James' Weekend Reflections. A non-reflected view for better detail left.

L'église Sainte-Bernadette des années 1930 se situe dans le quartier de Jussieu et se reflète ici dans un immeuble moderne pour les Reflets du Weekend de James. A gauche, une vue non reflétée pour mieux voir les détails.

  1. Great image, a reflection as clear as the original and a beautiful photo on the side.

  2. Wow, great reflection. I especially like how the glass gives the image that wavy look. In the middle right square of the picture, is that a lamp post (almost looks like a coat rack!)? What happened to the rest of it?

  3. Excellent, Ciel. In both cases. The reflection is quite stunning and it is a beautiful building.

    Oh, I wanted to say that lawyers are like doctors and other professionals: there are good ones and bad ones; and some I like and some I don't much care for.

    There's a lawyer in Versailles, who is also a very good photographer, and I like her a lot!

    :-))

  5. Great shots Ciel! The coat rack that is blended with the reflection looks cool. I like how you took the bottom shot.

  6. Tres bonne photo de l'eglise en reflections.
    J'en ai encore 2 a suivre et celle d'aujourd'hui sera plus comme la tienne avec 1 seul batiment en reflection.

  7. Enlarging this was wonderful for the detail you captured in the reflection. I love the old being reflected in the new.
    A terrific reflection!

  14. Great reflection. The wavy lines give it so much character. And I like how the blue sky blends so well with the window frames.

  15. Reflecting large architectural structures piecemeal in windows like this can give quite surreal and exciting results. That is part of the fun in doing this.

  16. I really like that first shot. Clever idea. Through a glass--not so darkly. MB

  17. The tower is an interesting image to begin with and looks even more so reflected. Good pic.

  35. Voila un reflet qui entre dans la categorie des contrastes moderne/ancien, sacré/profane, entier/destructuré..L'eglise même "nature" offre une architecture inhabituelle
