Squares & Triangles in Toulouse

Just returned from a duty travel to Toulouse in France. Stayed for some hours on the airport of Toulouse (TLS) but I could resist posting aircraft pictures today(thanks Ennie, sorry Henkie) but for sure the A380 will be posted by me very soon :-). You can understand that the the "Home of the Airbus A380" the flying huge ones were very attractive to picture. I did but will see when I post some of those images soon...OK Henkie?

Well thanks to the weather, stormy with such cross winds over TLS that my flight back home was cancelled, the aircraft made a go around and diverted to Bordeaux. So the Baron went to the crew hotel in Toulouse and stayed a extra day in that interesting city and had the opportunity to capture this view...

This was my view from my hotel window [Mercure Atrium] this early Friday morning. The sun lightened the walls and the reflections were great, the walls of the hotel reflecting the light and the top of the roof is as shadow projected on the orange facade of a business meeting centre.

Hope you enjoy this view !

PP work: only perspective crop and adjustment of saturation and contrast (minor).

He Hans,
I enjoy this view very much! Mooi spel van licht en schaduw; van kleuren en reflecties. Het is bijna grafisch en ik heb er moeite mee om te zien wat wàt is.
Groet uit Renesse en prettige paasdagen.

Hello Hans
Well seen and executed. I like how the diagonal intersects with the lower left corner. Great set of hard textures.
Regards,
Greg

He Baron,

Strakke en mooie abstracte architectuur. De oranje kleur en de schaduw direhoek samen met het lijnenspel van het gals maakt het af. Vind het zelf niet makkelijk om dit soort dingen te zien dus...goed gezien.
Zo te zien ook helemaal los op je nieuwe Sony...

Groeten,

Edwin

Ahh, I hope you had a great time in France! This is marvelous Hans! Excellent sight here, I can see all sorts of squares and tri-angles here! Really nice colors! Love the framing too!

Hi Hans,

Now this is a cool shot!! Great colors, shapes within shapes, repetitive lines, blocks, etc... Very interesting. Nice complementary frame too.

Hi Hans

I like the graphism of the pyramid shaped shadow at left, & the symmetry with it's smaller cousin at right. Impeccable sharpness, and Happy Easter to you!

Hi Hans,

This is a very interesting shot, especially from you, look very different from what you captured before, but I like it!!! Very artristic! like modern arts, I like the sharpness, colours, textures and details here, especially the shapes! Well captured my dear,

Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Hansie,

Dat is nou wel weer een beetje flauw, ik hoopte zo'n groot vliegtuig te zien - zo niet hier, dan wel in een WS'je of zo....
Nou ja, je kunt niet alles hebben.
Dus toch weer veilig naar huis toe geblazen.
Prachtig deze reflectie met vorm en kleur
(wel een beetje teleurgesteld..
Prettig weekend,
Henkie

:)

hahahah and what about all the rectangles Oh Great Green One!!!???

A wonderful image. Great colors and a good compo. well seen indeed!

Cheers,
Anneke

Hello Hans, this is a nice graphical image, and I like the warm colours too. Great reflections in the glass.
Well seen and well caught!

Happy Easter!

Hans,
ik zie ernaar en tracht het te begrijpen
te begrijpen
te begrijpen ...
maar ik lig in conflict met m'n ene hersencel
LOL
Dat is nu eens een aparte foto !!
Verlos me uit m'n lijden :
is dat " gewoon " een glazen wand dat daar staat ?
( op 2/3 van de foto met zwarte lijnen )

Bedankt : dit is de foto waar ik het langste naar gekeken heb
en met plezier ! :-)

Groetjes
Jan

Hi Hans,
A geometric photography ! Nice warm colours and reflection. Bravo !
Ivan

Hi Hans,

Wondeful graphical work here!! Love the combination of squares, rectangles and triangles. Nicely minimalistic graphical work!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Hans,

As always, amazing quality.

It is a well seen scene and the lighting and colour is brilliantly captured.

Magnificent work!

Hallo Hans,
Minimalistisch maar daarom niet minder boeiend spel van lijnen, vlakken en kleuren. De quintessence van de hedendaagse architectuur. De stad als abstractie. De eye-catcher van deze foto is voor mij de driehoekige schaduw van een op de foto onzichtbaar gebouw. Onmogelijk die driehoek níet op te merken in deze wereld van vierkantjes en rechthoekjes.
Voorts valt mij op hoe de steden door deze vorm van architectuur almaar meer op elkaar gaan lijken. Dergelijke stadsgezichten kun je ook in België tegenkomen. Of hoe we dankzij de mondialisering steeds verder kunnen reizen, maar overal ter wereld ook steeds meer aan "thuis" herinnerd worden. Gelukkig zijn er nog de mensen die het verschil kunnen maken.
TFS & groeten,
Erik
