La Ferté sous Jouarre

I wanted to take pictures of the swans but with my p&s I couldn't ... This city is about 45 ms by car from Paris, it's less beautiful than it looks, we just stopped for a quick lunch!

Lovely, serene pic

wooowzaaaaa

[Graham Harcombe]

You sound less than impressed! Most places look good with water, wild fowl and picturesque landing places. B&W gives it a rural old fashioned look,.

[Martha Burns]

So you're a very good photographer then, because it sure looks beautiful.

[stephanie dp]

oh my god, this is exquisite! i love the feel that the willows in the foreground give the photo. and the processing is fantastic.

[mudge]

it looks French and beautiful to me. A great black and white scene :)

[jannydogs]

Yeah, what Martha said. :) @burns310

[Evil Heather]

Magnificent scene!

[Holly Grace]

I love the beautiful birds on the water.

[Allison Williams]

You are so funny, telling us it is less beautiful than it looks! Spare us our illusions, please!

[Lux Vivens]

Very lovely! Yes, I had to laugh so hard at you saying it is uglier than this. LOL! LOL! LOL! I think I know what you mean. Cologne is also not as beautiful as it looks at first sight. Waaaaaaaay too dirty!

[Henriette Sparkes]

This does look very beautiful in your photo!

[richard saffold]

thats funny! and ty for your comment about gabby, it makes me feel better.

[Marna]

I also think it looks like a beautiful town but know sometimes towns can be more run down than a B&W photo tells. Nice view from here however!

[Lottie]

Gorgeous!

[Geertje K.]

Love the serene feeling of this landscape! The B&W really works!

[Constance Brinkley]

Well I don't know what you are seeing, but I think you have captured a beautiful river scene. The weeping willows, swans, lovely rooftops make this photo. I would say it was a lovely area...

[Diana Moss]

I agree with Constance its a lovey picture, sorry I havent been able to make many comments we are staying with family

[Marinade Spatula]

Love the serenity you have caught, and the atmosphere comes through with B&W

[Elizabeth Howard]

The rest of the city may not be much, but the waterfront is gorgeous! Great composition, Helene!

[Linda Paul]

Funny how the mundane can look beautiful in art. Great shot.

[Celia Leaberry Gould]

Beautiful!

[Isis Weiss]

[Laura Demko]

[Shannon Pitton]

Well, it looks nice to me. I can imagine it in spring with the willow leafed out.
