Le chevalement d'extraction, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

Français/French
Voici le chevalement de la mine King situé en bordure du centre-ville de Thetford Mines. Cette haute tour métallique qui servait autrefois à descendre et à remonter les mineurs et le minerai, via une cage d'ascenseur, fait figure d'emblème pour la ville.

English/Anglais
Here is the mining shaft of the King mine located in the border of the downtown area in Thetford Mines. This high metal tower which was formerly used to descend and go up the minors and the ore, via an elevator, is an emblem for the city.

I had a dear old friend who has now passed away, who spent many years mining and I loved hearing his stories. I admire these workers, as I can't even IMAGINE doing this type of work. It scares the life out of me. An interesting post, very nice pov and colors. TFS

Bonjour Denis,

such a beautiful greenish scenary. Lighting and colors were very well managed and you found an interesting subject. The trees also contributes for this attractive photo. Very well done!

Carlos

Bonjour Denis,

Les différents type de lignes et forme géométriques sont des atouts à la composition. Les arbres cadrent bien le puit de la mine. La prise de vue diirge notre regard vers le puit. L'Image est claire et nette. La lumière met en valeur les couleurs. Bonne journée.

Bonjour Denis,

Jolie composition ici avec la tour qui semble vouloir se fondre et ressembler aux arbres et a la rupture des couleurs entre le sol bien vert et le bleu du ciel.

Hi Denis
The building is nicely complimented by the tall trees. It's nice to see a summertime shot on TE. The exposure and light was well handled and the colours are bold and quite striking.

sublime ciel bleu avec ses petits nuages. La tour ressort bien dans ce cadrage. Aurais tu pu te déplace pour ne pas la mettre au centre ?

Amitiés

Bonsoir Denis,
Elle est intrigante cette photo, la formation de nuage semble diriger le regard sur la tour, et les arbres semblent danser dans tous les sens. Les couleurs sont nettes et la construction est bien en valeur. Très réussi.

Salut Denis,
Je vois que vous avez parfaitement préservé de l'environnement de cette ancienne mine, généralement autour de la mine sont souvent une catastrophe. Lumière superbe et très bonne couleur et les détails.
Amitiés,
Charo

Hi, Denis.
Simple and extremely effective. Striking greens & blues and a most intriguing atmosphere : it makes me somehow think of De Chirico's paintings, where there are no real tales but forms tell tales of untold stories... Excellent shot!
Have a good day, I'll be seeing you.
Fulvio.

Hi Denis,
an interesting view of this mining shaft of the King mine, a very unusual landscape for me.
Also here you showed your well-known technique ability.
Ciao

stego (24132) 2008-12-02 15:59

Salut Denis,
An eye catching image, for the superb clarity and colours, but also for the simple graphical arrangement. The tower seems to be trying to look as another tree, for its conical/pyramidal appearance.
Amicalement, José.

gunbud (34066) 2008-12-02 17:24

Hi Denis,
You are the master at catching the greenest greens and the bluest blues.
The contrast here between natures most prominent colors is brilliant.
Excellent sharpness ahd details in this simple landscape.
Love how you show the beauty reclaiming the mines central Quebec.
Regards, Tom

Salut Denis

La prise de vue de la tour avec les arbres et le verdure en fait un monument unique et fort bien conservé. Bonne composition.

Hi denis, this is great. lovely refreshing and so well handled. I like the width and the perspective. the composition is rivetting

cam (9043) 2008-12-26 14:09

Bonjour Denis
Pas beaucoup de photos saisonnière pour l'instant.
On dirait que la tour se cache derrière les arbres, et elle y parviendra dans quelques années.Les couleurs sont bien rendues.

Bonne saison des fêtes
Charles

zmey (7335) 2009-01-02 8:27

bonjour Denis
love the colors in this one. the light seems pretty good too. but how bout losing that tree on the right? just move a sheet of paper onto the right side of the post and move it leftwards just until the tree disappears. i think: the composition becomes much more balanced (i would take a bit off from the top too in that case).

cheers and Happy 2009!

I dont know if it is the beautiful sky of Canada or your camera features but I ve rarely seen such a tone of blue and such neat sky photo. I wish I could take this type of photo with a perfect sky appereance.
