[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Strasbourg, France, is famed for its half-timbered houses. Timber framing was the most popular building technique from the 12th to the 19th century. The oldest buildings still standing are from the 13th century. From the 15th century on, timbers were sometimes elaborately carved and infills with smaller timbering were made for both decorative and structural reasons.

Little Venice in Strasbourg, is a tourist route that is in the heart of the Alsace District capital city, with picturesque half-timbered buildings.

Bonjour Francis,

Strasbourg is a famous and beautiful French city, but it looks even more splendid from your POV and way of looking at the old buildings and houses. I have been to Strasbourg several times, but I think I should visit it again after I saw this picture.
The sharpness and POV are great. The half-timbered houses are well shown and the colors are very warm and soothing to the eyes. A great work of art!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hello, Francis -
Great POV to show the best features of these unusual structures. Very sharp details. The sunlight is very bright but you managed it so that it is not overpowering. Warm colors, great feel. Well done.

Bonsoir Xavier,

Excellente architecture, de belle couleurs et détails.
Une belle composition. Du bon travail.
Une bonne journée a toi.
John

Amazing old houses - and wonderful that they still stand after so long. You chose good light and good conditions to shoot, and the composition is simple but effective.

There seems to be a haze/halo along the rooftops, was there post-work on the sky? A note about your photography, as well as subject, would be very useful!

Salut Francis
Très belle carte postale de Strasbourg.
L’angle de prise de vue est parfait.
Les couleurs sont très belles. Bravo.
Bonne journée.
Urs

Nice sharp details Francis.
Love your point of view.
Well done.

Bonjour,
je vois que tu t'ai promener dans l'est de la France. Je ne connais que par les livres et les photos cette partie de la France, et l'a sais très connu.
Les colombages sont magnifiques, beaux détails aux tons contrastés. Bel angle de point de vue.
Belle carte postale comme celle que j'ai fait d'Honfleur :=)).
Amicalement
Corinne
