The Old Parliament, a photo from Bretagne, West

Photographer's Note

Two purposes for this shot :
- I wanted to show the Parliament of Brittany, and old building wich had burnt in 1997 then renovated.
- Life around the building, that is tourism (left-hand corner), the roundabout, the market.

Why b&w?
I wanted to focus on the architecture. But there were two many colours in the original version and that disturbed the eye to concentrate on the old Parliament.

Hope someday I will send a colourful version but without this crowd.

Tr鋊 belle photo de ce parlement dont le caract鋨e "vieux" est renforc� par le noir et blanc. L'image est bien compos嶪 avec la man銶e, le march� et les gens. Bravo!

C'est pas grave que t'ai perdu l'original en couleur. Le noir et blanc donne � ta photo un cot� intemporel que j'aime beaucoup. Et puis, le noir et blanc gomme les couleurs criardes qui auraient peut 皻re enlaidi l'image si tu ne l'avais pas appliqu�.
