[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Derelict, the canal tunnel –moist and slippery- is closed with big rusted doors and the reflected light in the water is like a ghost-anchor for an improbable boat.
The tunnel de Godarville was constructed for the 300 ton boats between 1882 and 1885 on the canal Bruxelles-Charleroi to pass through a hill at altitude 150m. The tunnel was 1050 m long, 8 m wide, and 9 m high. The actual canal, lower and 4x larger, allow to the 1350 ton boats to go down from 68m high in one time with the inclined plane of Ronquières.

(no tripod because I was walking along this old canal, in full light !)

Hi Jean.

Beautiful and original B&W photo.

Fantastic composition and framework.

Great shot,

Greetings from Portugal,

Mário

A very interesting effect, Jean, and a well-chosen subject for black and white. The lines in this image are especially eye-catching: the slivery shaft of light upon the water, the arc at the top, the little doorway in the distance. The simple frame is also apt. Interesting work.

Jim

Hi, Jean.
Great B&W shot, the effect is really alarming.

Renzo

Hello Jean
This is a superb work. The light through the door and his reflection on the water is very well captured; the composition is superb as the b/w. A great photography. Excelent mood.
Congrats, mb

C'est très beau Jean.
Excellente composition de belles lignes courbes, d'horizontales, de verticales et de textures, dans une atmosphère de mystère. Une oeuvre d'une grande qualité graphique. La ligne verticale est fascinante!
Bravo.
André

Hi Jean,
I like the graphical impression of the strong composition of light and shadow - the reflection gives an interesting impact.

Ramdan.

On attend vraiment de voir des phantomes! :-)
C'est très beau ce blanc et noir, tellement "liquide" et riche en reflets!
Merci du partage
Ciao, Antonella

Bonjour Jean,
C'est vrai, quand on part on ne prévoit pas!!!
Voilà une rencontre des plus intéressante, on distingue vraiment une ancre se reflétant dans l'eau!!!
Bien vu, bien pris
Amitiés

Salut Jean
Brrr endroit lugubre le contraste crée une certaine ambiance glauque, décor de scène de crime.
Intéressant tout de même.
Cordialement

Jean,

An ominous and unknown symbology indeed. Perhaps the reality is harmless, but the mood of the photograph suggests, perhaps, that this is not a place where we should linger. Let's get back to the light, before that anchor holds us in this place forever.

Colin

Mooie sfeervolle plaat Jean. Wel een beetje ruis, maar dat is onoverkomelijk met zo weinig licht.
Mooie note erbij!

Gr.,
Anneke

Beaucoup de belles et sensibles choses dans votre gallerie. La série four seasons, les demoiselles coquelicots, Magritte... et celle-ci! Chapeau bas!! Magnifique ambiance, superbe lumière et je ne sais quoi qui vous permet d'éviter le contgre-jour par la porte entrouverte... oui cette photo est habitée. Superbe
