" Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field "

Peter Adams

Pont de Normandie, I enjoy this bridge (and I like your composition) ! I saw the several steps of construction (like the Viaduct de Millau). It is a marvel of bulding.

J'aime le Viaduct aussi beaucoup. There should be a picture also in my gallery.
Do you live or did you live in Le Havre, or why is it that you could watch Pont de Normandie growing?
It was now on the way to Saint Malo that I passed it for the third or fourth time and thought I should finally stop for once. I find it so amazing that you can actually walk on it or go by bike - awesome:
for your nice comment, Cyrielle

Ha - it is called Pont de Normandie and crosses the River Seine at Le Havre. Awesome bridge on the way to the Bretagne. You can actually walk or bike across - pffhhh ....

I live in southwest of France (when I study, at Bordeaux, and the other time,, in the same city where Belladone lives). But a part of my family lives in Normandie, and some lives in Le Havre... That's why I know this bridge. Besides, my father and my brother are fond of mechanics and construction. Tourism with my family can be somewhat strange...

Yes, I thought so about the south-west - we were talking about that earlier. Belladone - sure that is interesting. Do you know her in real life? Anyway, it seems, that people with common interests and tastes find their ways on DA.
Normandie - yes. It seems to offer more than I thought before, at least at the coast - inside - pretty empty. But when it comes to Lille, for instance, I found it really interesting.
Family? Good to have one - and a strange one with interests whatsoever - is even better

I knew Belladone before I was on dA. I worked with her the last summer, we became friends, and after she showed me her work on dA. Besides, I've met another deviant in the "real life" too at bordeaux (we live in the same district and I discovered it by his picture on da). When it is possible and when it is wanted, I think it's great to meet people in real life. It was the case the last summer to me : I took part in "japanexpo" at Paris, with three belgian persons that I met on a forum. We made a group of cosplay ( ), in order to come together and to have play...

I enjoy coasts of Normandie. It is full of history, about war, fishing, architecture and industrial waste land, here as in the "North" (Lille, Dunkerque etc).

I hope you had fine weather during your holidays, Bretagne and Normandie are known for their rain shower .

he he - what an extensive answer ... I certainly apprecate this a lot
cosplay - is there photographic evidence btw. I love Belgium, it probably is the most unpretencious country in the world.
Normandy, yes, history is everywhere. D-Day - my personal opinion - is the most important day in the history of the last 100 years. Hard roots for a peaceful Europe which we experience now for more than half a century

Cosplay was just for fun...

D-day has a special feel to me : in 1914, my family, who lived in the North, had to run away from there because of the race of the sea. And in 1944, they were under the Blitz in Normandie... They appreciated peace in Europe after that.

DDay is very important of course ; in France, the Operation Dragoon in Provence was important too, even if it is little-known now.
Maybe because I'm jurist, I think the hardest roots to peace were created by Counsil of Europe in 1947, and almost by the European Coal and Steel Community in 1950. When there are debate about european construction (about the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe), and when it is said that in 1950 Europe was not political, just an economic organization, I think it is the biggest mistake about Europe. Because coal and steel are a war economy. And coming to an agreement between France and Germany on a mutual war economy, after the horror of the WW2, is absolutely a political union. And the greatest win for Peace on our Continent.
