European Oval, a photo from Alsace, East

Photographer's Note

European Oval

After all the traditional half-timbered houses of Colmar and Strasbourg, let痴 go back to some more modern architecture. This is the oval courtyard of the Louise Weiss Building, home of the European Parliament. European citizens can do a self-guided tour through the building free of charge and also visit the plenary hall, a photo of which I added to the WS: https://i1.trekearth.com/photos/12257/1400ws._european_oval.jpg.

Hej Lars,
Detta 舐 en verkligt originell och bra bild av EU-parlamentet. Byggnaden 舐 kanske vacker p� sitt s舩t, men h舐舐 det ju kompositionen som spelar roll. F mig symboliserar Strasbourg-parlamentet mest ett v舁digt sleri med pengar. Jag blev lite fundersam er hur flaggorna 舐 placerade i sessionssalen. Jag kunde inte hitta n虍on utt舅kt ordning.
H舁sningar,
Gert

Hi Lars

A good upward pov from this eye on the sky. Excellent sharpness and nice reflections in the many windows. Perspective has been well managed placing the verticals centrally. Tfs!

Excellent use of the oval courtyard and the shapes of the interior. I tried to visit national al congress in brazil few days ago but the building was closed because covid.

These kinds of views are always nice to see. The curves of the oval create a nice frame around the sky, where there's a lovely blend of blue and white. Take care!

Hi Lars,
Brilliant composition of this important modern structure.
The sky was amazing although there was plenty of shade inside.
The resulting geometry is eye catching.
Very well seen and captured,
