Windows of Acquigny

While driving through France a came along a small village named Acquigny. Check [Map:view] for ot position on the map. It is a place between Rouen and Evreux and has a real chateau (nothing special, all French villages, hamlets, towns appears to have its own castle.

Anyway while wandering around I observed these windows. For me the reflecting blue sky and clouds were striking. Hope you enjoy this image of France too!

Good morning my friend

This is delightful, what a pretty scene and a nice sharp capture.. they do remind me of two eyes with big bushy eyebrows :-) The light shining looks like the white centre of the eyes.

Lovely work well seen and shot.

TFS regards Helen

Hello Hans :o)
Typiquement normande cette photo ! On aime beaucoup les géraniums rouges ici ;o) Les colombages et la glycine (je pense) donnent réellement l'image des chaumières normandes, merci !
Amicalement

Bonjour,
the soft perfume of a typical village of Normandy, a pretty floral decoration of red geraniums on the cob of the first stage, installation of the rafters and the reflection of the blue sky in the windows with crowning the unit, the blauregen of Marylou [I know, I'm roguish ;-).]
A charming corner which you discovered. Not badly, France, isn't this Hans? us you are awaited also a day, I would like so much to know you as I make the knowledge of new grandfather Pim. It's in the hands of the future and which knows of an air meeting lolll.

Hallo Hans
Mooie comp Hans
Dergelijke detailfoto's doen het altijd goed.
Ze hebben een bepaalde sfeeruitstraling.

Heel mooi Hans - meer traditioneel kan het niet, geraniums in het raam en wisteria erboven, goede reflectie van een stralende lucht in de ruiten - even lekkere afwisseling van het vlieggeweld (hou ik trouwens ook van).

This is awesome. Like the colors and frame. Great work.

Zeer mooi ! Goed gezien die blauwe lucht in de ruiten. Een prachtige kleurencombinatie en een mooie compositie.
