Rainy Evening in Bordeaux (2014)
I have finally gotten around to adding a new gallery to ART@CHC, comprising a selection of images I shot during our 2014 two-week trip to France. Hope you enjoy. While there, you might also revisit the Steps Gallery, which I refreshed with a few new images.
As always, I’d recommend viewing on a laptop — phones aren’t made for art. Thanks.
I’m thinking of reworking the whole ART@CHC experience sometime this year, to better allow my images to cover as much screen area as possible. I’m especially disappointed how my portrait-mode images come across, as I have to scrunch them down to fit inside the vertical dimensions of the browser window. As a result, they just don’t have the impact of landscape-mode images. Real art, in-front-of-your-eyes art, doesn’t have this problem. In real life, people get to look up and down, not just side-to-side. Ah well.
A Happy Spring to all my readers. Buds are budding. Weeds are demanding to be pulled. The cycle begins anew. Nature exploiting every angle to further its art.
Merveilleux! I love that you included a couple of iconic sights but mostly little “moments.” France is very photogenic but the beauty is most often in the details. These images leave me nostalgic for France and make me realize how lucky I was that for many years, I needed to be in Europe frequently on business, often with a weekend free (if I planned for that). Not any more. I am taking a personal trip to England in June. It’s a start on the fabled “fun travel in retirement” plan.
