Description
Auprès de mon arbre,Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû m'éloigner d' mon arbre
Auprès de mon arbre,
Je vivais heureux
J'aurais jamais dû le quitter des yeux...
…
This title -it means “By my tree...”- and these words, are from a song of (one of) the greatest French poet-singer Georges Brassens...
The little house (maset) is slowly sinking into the ground as we all may sink in despair one day, because of loneliness, because of oblivion, because of men’s stupidity...
We all have to learn from each other not to forget anything about beauty and love before it's too late...
I would like to dedicate this picture to 2 great and genuine photographers, their B & W pictures are always for me a real inspiration and example…
Thank you Rainer
for your talent, your kindness and for the truth coming out of your pictures…
Thank you Damien
for your help and patience in so many cases, for your natural talent and kindness and for being a wonderful son…

with lots of hugs, kisses and affection...

You make very good use of the extreme wide angle, the perspective of the photo seems to suck me in. It gives me the feeling that I am sinking into the photo, just as the house is sinking. Very well done.

Le grand angle donne vraiment une grandeur à cette photo: le ciel est si vaste, la maison et l'arbre sont parfaitement bien placés ici. Et le noir et blanc donne une touche incroyable à l'ensemble!
Bravo Michel!

sweet shot, the sky seems genuinely imposing, and the crisp, high contrasty black and white is something to aspire to.

Magnifique!
L'importance du ciel rend le mas encore plus petit et encore plus vulnerable par le temps.
Tres tres belle photo!

lorsque j'ai vu le titre de ta photo dans mes messages, je me suis dis tout de suite: "je vais lui poster la chanson de Brassens en commentaire"...
mais je vis que c'est deja fait.

"...I don't have a coat of silk, but still I have the sky.
And I don't have a lady fair... but there goes a butterfly
Now I don't have a house of stone, but I can see the sea...."
You're picture seems a little dark to me, but that might just be the computer. The sky seems to be too heavy for the little house. On a day with less density I would like to live in such a house.

i like how the sky itself looks broken, making the land look sturdy,
the house looks like it's leaning on the tree, which is leaning towards it.. okay, i just love it
excellent

Le texte : Cela me fait penser à Jacques Lacarrière et au un tilleul de son enfance (lire ''Un jardin pour mémoire'')... Mais je suis certain qu'il n'a jamais regretté de l'avoir quitté pour aller son chemin
La photo maintenant : Très belle... Site splendide une fois de plus. J'imagine aussi un lion, ou un sphinx dans les lignes majeurs (maison + arbre + pentes). Ce que c'est l'imagination !
Vraiment bien

the biggest beauty of this house is that, even so falling still transmits security and comfort to our hearts, its fall is poetical... I don’t have much hope of that humanity, if to continue indifferent to its errors, will be equal.
