At the Base [France and Belgium Pictures]
Uploaded: July 09, 2009 08:18:36
Each time I visit Paris with students I try to find the time and opportunity to do something I have never done before -- not easy when you are trying to pack all the major monuments into two and a half days! This time two students and I climbed to the top of the dome of the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur where we found a surprising amount of architectural detail and an amazingly good view given the gray, drizzly day. I'll put two more photos in the discussion.

Nikki- First of all I just love this kind of subjects. History, elegance, beauty all combined. I see two masters here. The one who designed each one of these unbelievable structures and the photographer who showed us that beauty of them with stunning camera control. You brought out lines and shapes that inspire, textures that make you want to run your fingers over the screen because its as if we could feel them, lighting and clarity that magnify it's beauty. Framing extraordinary and the use of the black and white and soft colors so as not to distract us.Joy Rector July 10, 2009

Superb, Nikki...I love the close-up you did in this...the tones, perspective, and overall bigness of it is just fantastic. Favorite for me, too.
