En voiture..., a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

Arrival in station�
Shot taken in the effervescence of Gare du Nord
This station replaced the "embarcad鑽e de Belgique" which proves to be unsuited to the volume of the traffic since 1854.
The new building will be high on a more important and slightly shifted surface three times.
Conceived by Lejeune and Ohnet, the architects of the Company of North, the preliminary draft will be taken again by Jacques-Ignace Hittorff in 1861.
Brought into service in 1864, the station will be completed one year later.
Its frontage of 180 meters on the street of Dunkerk will be flanked of two wings of 200 meters each one, finished by side houses.

Very atmospheric picture. The Lanterns are a little bit to bright and the train is partly covered by the sign. Not sure if there was an alternative POV with similar good compostion of the building.
Thanks for posting,
Werner

Hey Pierre.
Great pic. Excellent POV and sense of scale. The sepia tone works well here. TFS.

Belle photo d'ambiance, Pierre.
Elle a tout de suite attir� mon regard.
Le s駱ia convient tr鑚 bien ici.
Tu as bien mis en 騅idence l'architecture en donnant aussi beaucoup d'importance au toit.
Bravo
Henry

Good choice of sepia here, which rather evokes the mood created by Monet's images of the very similar Gare St Lazare over 100 years ago. interesting note.

Hello Pierre,
Very atmospheric shot full of animation and movement. Nicely toned though the lights are somewhat blown, inevitable really in waht is otherwise a relatively dark environment. Still, very nicely done - it makes you think of steam trains rather than the TGV!

Bonjour Pierre,
Une prise qui donne bien l'effet de grandeur de l'ensemble, et qui oppose l'art ancien avec le modernisme des Tgvs, en plus tu t'en tire bien avec l'馗lairage central qui ne pollue pas l'ensemble par une surexposition.

Pierre,
Excellente photo semblant 黎re sortie tout droit des plaque de zincs d'autre fois. L'id馥 vieillissement vue de la gare avec les personnages de nos jours est simplement g駭iale.
Merci pour ce partage.

Bonjour Pierre,
Superbe photo.
On sent l'influence des grands peintres impressionnistes. Ta photo donne bien la sensation d'espace caract駻istique de ces grandes gares.
J'aime beaucoup la lumi鑽e et les TGV estomp駸 par le s駱ia comme si cette gare appartenait d駛� au pass�.
Compliments
Nicole

bonjour pierre
l'ambiance de la gare du Nord est bien restitu馥, l'eclairage est agreable et les tons sepias renforcent l'atmosphere g駭駻ale de la photo.
