“Up to your neck in water”

This photo was taken under the bridge connecting Draveil to Juvisy, during the great flood of the Seine at the end of January 2018.

Long exposure of 1 minute and 40 seconds with a Nisi ND1000 filter on the Fujifilm X-T2 with the 10-24mm at 10mm open at f/16, and 200 ISO. I should have thought earlier about adding the ND8 so I could increase the duration and/or open a bit more.

“Defenseless”

I really don't like having to go to work in the La Défense district near Paris. It's a human anthill where people are mostly in a hurry to get from the train to the office and back again.

The only reason why a visit to this district might be of any interest is for architectural photography, with the many towers covered in glass reflecting each other.

“Quietness”

Yili Garden is a traditional Chinese garden of 10,000 square meters, created with the participation of the Suzhoua City Green Spaces Department, with materials from China.

It combines Far Eastern philosophy and harmonic composition of nature. A garden between dream and reality, in balance with nature...

“The view over Mtskheta from Jvari Monastery”

Jvari Monastery stands on the rocky mountaintop at the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers, overlooking the town of Mtskheta, one of the oldest cities of Georgia and its former capital.

It is located approximately 20 kilometres north of Tbilisi.

“The path of light”

A masterpiece of the Early and High Middle Ages, Svetitskhoveli is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Known as the burial site of the claimed Christ's mantle, Svetitskhoveli has long been one of the principal Georgian Orthodox churches and is among the most venerated places of worship in the region.

“Gondola lift to Narikala fortress”

Historically, Tbilisi had seven different aerial tramways, but all of them closed after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Since 2012, Tbilisi has a modern, high-capacity gondola lift which operates between Rike Park and the Narikala fortress.

“Betlemi Street Stairs”

On the steep slopes between the Narikala fortress and the old town of Tbilisi, the Betlemi Street Stairs offer superb views of the city below, and the stunning Mother of Georgia statue nearby.

These streets meander between the old brick houses clinging to the slope, with a few shaded terraces allowing a well-deserved break.

“Kaleidoscope House”

In its heyday, mosaic stained glass was a common architectural feature of Tbilisi. Sadly most examples have been lost to time – but there are a few buildings that still boast gorgeous rainbow windows.

One of Tbilisi’s most recognisable landmarks, the “Kaleidoscope House” has large multi-coloured glass windows on all three sides of its front stairway. When the afternoon sun hits at just the right angle, it paints a colourful pattern onto the stairs and wooden balustrades.

“Zémo Kalaki”

Sultanishani Street is a good example of an anonymous street in Zemo Kalaki, the former royal district of Tbilisi.

It is completely faded, far from the not so distant animated streets and the famous caravanserais of the Silk Road.

“Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi”

The Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi (commonly known as Sameba) is the third-tallest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in the world and one of the largest religious buildings in the world by total area. Sameba is a synthesis of traditional styles dominating the Georgian church architecture at various stages in history and has some Byzantine undertones.
