World Photography Day 2022

Excellente !!!

Merci Thierry, tu connais sûrement le "Rubricaire".

IMPECCABLE ❤

Merci Malik d'apprécier cette "fenêtre sur le passé".

Super shot! And thank you for the notes, PiPs and mapping. All of which I really appreciate!

Thanks Andy, it's the same for me: I like to read descriptions and see where the photo is situated.

Indeed!
I've always been puzzled why so few members think that a sense of location, geography, and history of a place is of no interest. To me, these details anchor a good shot even more firmly in my enjoyment of it!
Pleased you feel the same, Christa!!

I noticed that it depends also of the browser you use (if you are able to map or not the photos in Ipernity).
For exemple, normally I use "DuckDuckGo": there it's impossible to map a photo in Ipernity, I always have the following message: "Cannot read the network response. Please check that your internet access is working properly". This is why I use "Vivaldi" when I load photos in my gallery - there is no problem to map them!
This is why I think that probably a few users have the same problem and are unable to map their photos.

Thanks for that, Christa. I was completely unaware of all that you say. I'll be a little more understanding in future!

;-)

Excellent fortress and capture, very interesting.

Thanks Gillian, it's one of the oldest sites in my region (there are two of them).

belle image de ces vestiges Romains, bonne fin de semaine

Merci Pascal, je suppose que vous l'avez visité également ?

Not much remains of the splendour of the 'Ancient Romans'...

Thanks Udo, I agree, but what remains is impressive nevertheless...

Oft fast nur noch Steinhaufe, aber es ist immer wieder spannend, solche Reste der Geschichte zu Besuchen.

Danke Walter, das stimmt, aber wenn man bedenkt, dass sie 2000 Jahre alt sind, ist es schon beeindruckend.

Le passé est toujours présent !

Merci Pat, ces vieilles ruines "parlent" toujours aujourd'hui...

Interesting ruins; well captured Christa.

Thanks Jaap, I really like such ancient ruins, somewhere they are timeless...

Looking back into the past always yields new insights

Thanks Aschi. There is a good quote from Matthew McConaughey: "Life is our resume. It is our story to tell, and the choices we make write the chapters. Can we live in a way where we look forward to looking back?"

Da hast du sehr schöne Aufnahmen gewählt liebe Christa für diesen Fotografietag,diese Mauern erzählen Geschichten :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Danke Güni. ja, wie ich geschrieben habe, ich habe nach etwas sehr Altem gesucht und an dieses uralte römische Lager gedacht. Viel ist nicht mehr übrig, aber die eigene Fantasie macht den Rest ;-)

Great choice for the World Photography Day, Christa!

Thank you Marta, I'm glad that you like my contribution.

Yes a good choice and interesting one too

Thanks Colin, imagine: if these old walls could tell their story....

Schön ausgewählt für diesen Anlass, Christa ! Talkin‘ Stones !

Danke Ulrich, genau richtig : diese Mauern erzählen Geschichte.

Wow, I'm always in awe of ancient ruins like this!

Happy World Photography Day!

Thanks Valfal, and these ruins are really old, about 2000 years!

Well done!

Thanks Jean-Paul for appreciating my contribution.

très jolie un beau site intéressant dont tu peux te souvenir et dont tu nous fais profiter,

Merci Annaig, c'est l'un des deux sites gallo-romains de ma région (l'autre est Jublains, ville gallo-romaine autrefois appelée Noviodunum).

Sehr schön dargestellt, Christa!

Danke Stephan, es bleibt nicht mehr viel übrig von diesem römischen Lager, aber nur die Tatsache, dass die Mauern 2000 Jahre alt sind, ist schon beeindruckend.

A great offering for W.P.D. Christa I wonder what the people of the time would have made of a small box that captured an image, you would probably come to a very nasty end for being a witch !!!!!

Thanks Peter, I think you're right; or imagine: with a smartphone from which you hear voices and see moving pictures;-)))

Good that there is this left

Thanks Jan, it's always fascinating to discover such leftovers of the past.

das ist wirklich alt...

Danke Markus, da hast du recht (aber Edna hat "rechter" mit ihrem URALT ;-)))

Es ist toll und spannend, dass wir solche Relikte aus grauer Vorzeit noch sehen können.
Eine gute Option und gleichzeitig Ehrung der Geschichte zum Weltfotografiertag.

Danke Heide, schon vor dem 19.8. hatte ich überlegt, was ich wohl so fotografieren könnte, und da hatte ich die Idee mit dem präsentieren von etwas wirlkich uralten...

A well put together entry to World Photography Day, Christa. A most interesting description. The addition of the PiP adds to the interest. Very well composed photos and lots of fine detail.

Thank you Roger, I am very glad that you appreciate, because it's truly an amazing site - think that it is about 2000 years old!!

What a wonderful thought/photo for WPD. I am always drawn to think of how many stories have filled places such as these. So many layers of events. Being an architects daughter I am also fascinated by the design of such structures.

I really like that you ventured out for our event day. I enjoy thinking about each of us taking on the day in our own way to find our indivudual photos.

I always want to touch such old structures to try and feel the memory of the past.
Did you climb on the stones? Was it peaceful there as it seems in the photo? I image a gentle scene honoring the past.

Happy (belated) World Photography Day 2022!

Thanks Laura, I feel like you in front of such old remains. Isn't it amazing to think that they had been built 2000 years ago?

In addition to this camp, the region boasts the largest Gallo-Roman site in northwestern France: an ancient Roman town with fortress, amphitheatre, temple and baths. If you want, take a look here, there is a video that shows the main views.

And no, I didn't climb on the stones as they are crumbling and may deteriorate. Indeed, it is really a peaceful place and only during weekends, you sometimes find visitors.

Thanks for the link. Fascinating that they know that stones were moved to build newer structures. I suppose that's a natural thing over time, but we are so into saving everything ancient these days that it seems a bit bizarre to me.

Too bad one can't climb on the stones - I imagine a child enjoying such action.

Archaeologists can precisely determine the age of the sites, it's really interesting to see them working.
And in a general way, I would say there is only one advice: "don't cry over the past, it's gone. Don't stress about the future, it hasn't arrived. Live in the present and make it beautiful"...

Yes, there is only the present. Why it is hard for me to live in the present sometimes I don't know. But thanks for the reminder!
