Port
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #159 is ‘Postcards’.
The harbor of Barfleur, a small village in the West of Normandy. Years ago I had an idea to sell postcards from photos I was shooting. It never came to reality. This would be a pretty one I think.

Tarn Point Sublime Right
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #158 is ‘Along back country roads’.
The gorge of the river Tarn in France, looking right from the Point Sublime (if you turn this around you have the English translation). This view point shows the Tarn in a splendid panoramic view. This is the right side, yesterday I published the left. This area of France is the lowest populated part of France. Small roads, beautiful nature, nature.

Ephesus 1983
The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #157 is ‘getting away’.
Near Selçuk in the west of Turkey, one can find the excavation of Ephesus. This is the Marble Road, looking down to the library of Celsus at noon on a very hot day. The negative is damaged, but it was one of the first times I dared to trespass because the contradiction between past and present was that stunning. In 1983 Turkey was ruled by a regime of generals, and taking photographs of anything military was forbidden. The young soldiers passed us going down the hill, and I could not resist to take this photos in this ancient setting. Quickly and a bit nervouws, so I did not pay too much attention to properly measure the light. But I have the photo and I got away with it :-).

La Défense (Blocs)
The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #157 is ‘getting away’.
La Défense is a big, modern office area in Paris. I remember my teacher for French saying she did not like it at all, too modern, on the old axe of the Champs Elysées and Louvre. Years later I was curious about the area and went there on a long weekend trip, hoping for some nice images. Feeling small between the buildings of big companies, rising high up over the skyline of Paris. An alienating place, where human size did not seem to matter.

Evening Clouds
The theme for this week Lens-artists challenge #154 is ‘one photo two ways’. These clouds I shot at dusk. I was curieus what the iPhone would do in low light. These are four shots of the sky. They vary on zoom/frame and one I adjusted the light measuring. So two times two.

Delft
The theme for his week Lens-artists challenge #152 is ‘Shadows and Shades’. Delft was the first city I visited since we went into the pandemic. It is a beautiful old town, famous for pottery (Delft’s Blauw/Delft Blue), the painter Johannes Vermeer and the fact that here William of Orange was murdered. The light was stunning on this warm and sunny day, it reminded me of the South of France.

Sun
