Le fondry des chiens


[de] Mit meiner Freundin und einem Freund die Doline Le fondry des chiens bei Nismes (Wallonien) angeguckt. Eine gewaltige Stelle, aber kaum mit der Camera zu fassen. Hoffentlich ist es hiermit ein bisschen gelungen.

[nl] Een beeld uit de Fondry des chiens, de "hondenput", een prachtige doline bij Nismes, midden in een kalkrijk natuurreservaat met prachtige flora.

[eo] La dolino Fondry des chiens en Valonio, 220 metrojn super la marnivelo, sed la fundo de la dolino estas pli malpli 20 metrojn sub la loka ternivelo.

[en] A sinkhole, also known as a sink, shake hole, swallow hole, swallet, doline or cenote, is a natural depression or hole in the surface topography caused by the removal of soil or bedrock, often both, by water. This is a sinkhole near Nismes, in the south of Wallonia.

Thanks, Anna! Unfortunately on the picture you can't imagine that 30 centimetres in front of her feet there is a huge gap 20 metres deep.

Nu ja, aus Kuwait wäre ein Tagesausflug nicht geeignet ... aber wenn du mal in Deutschland bist, lohnt es sich bestimmt.

My critic about this photo would be what you say yourself : I can't imagine there is the big gap,if it is what you wanted to show.
Then, if you just wanted to show the landscape, i think the lady shouldn't be on the photo.
And about the landscape,maybe it lacks of contrast and texture....
Hem...sorry, i hope i don't look as if i knew about photo,it's just what i feel and I may be wrong !

Thanks, Eivita. Yes, you're right. One can hardly imagine there is a very deep gap in front of the lady. I now see that I have used a small zoom. Maybe another lens, almost fisheye, would have produced a better result...

I agree with eivita. To show the gap you should have come back at another time of day, maybe the sunlight would draw some shadows to make clear that there's a gap?
