Weekend Reflections: porte dans porte

A door is reflected in another door for James' Weekend Reflections. This is the door of the hôtel du Cheval Rouge and the reflected door is of a wine shop. Both belong to a building that once housed the king's outfitters. The hotel I was showing you here.
-----------------------
Cette porte est celle de l'hôtel du Cheval Rouge que je vous montrais ici. La porte qui est reflétée est celle d'un magasin de vins. Toutes deux font partie de ce qui fut la pourvoirie du roi. Les Reflets du Weekend de James, c'est par ici.

  4. Very nice. I like the greens and white, as well as the angels above each door. So, what does cieldequimper mean? I put it into a translator and it came back as "cieldequimper" in English. I doubt it . . .

  5. So that's why they have the same sculpture above the door! Love the deep green color of the door :-D

    Happy friday!

  15. I had to do a double take. It almost seemed like the door was reflecting itself.

  24. I almost couldn't tell what was reflection and what wasn't! This is a perfect shot for Weekend Reflections!

  25. Cette image est vraiment amusante ; j'aime beaucoup notamment le fait de voir se refléter de face la même sculpture qui au-dessus du chambranle de celle que tu visais de face : ce fait un effet étrange, comme s'il y avait une distorsion de la perspective dans l'image...

  26. Interesting reflection in your photo! :)

  27. I used my broken French to get sky of Quimper, but I understood Quimper as the pottery and that confused me. Merci beaucoup.

  32. Love this little slice of your world. A charming door but I would expect no less from Provence, of course. :-)

    Thanks for your visit to my blog.

    Ciao,

  33. The color of the door and the leaf of the sculpture matches! The reflection is so crisp and clear, perfect capture!

  34. @ Pagan Sphinx: Provence? Wow, now that would be cool!

  35. Autant d'invitations à pousser cette porte.

  37. Hi Ciel,
    I like this reflection very much. I was interested by the figure over the door, and then I noticed the reflected figure in the door! This is a very clean, detailed reflection and you captured it well.
