A statue, of the Virgin Mary I imagine, inside the courtyard of private Notre-Dame du Grandchamp high school in Saint-Louis neighbourhood.----------------------------
La statue, dont je suppose qu'il s'agit de la Vierge Marie, dans la cour du lycée Notre-Dame du Grandchamp à Saint-Louis.
Terrific black and white photo. Beautifully captured.

Nicely composed Ciel, you kept the statue central under the arch with careful judgement of angle of view; fine work.
ReplyDeleteI like the black and white in this photo. The geometrical designs are highlighted by the B&W.
ReplyDeleteA very cool b&w. Great light and shadows.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck does Notre-Dame du Grandchamp mean? Our Lady of Grand Champions?

Nice lines framing the statue. Well done.

Our Lady of Grandchamp! I was a volunteer with the Communaute de Grandchamp in Switzerland, but I think there is no connection between the two.
