Les Forges de Paimpont - The Foundry Buildings

Again, following on from yesterday - https://365project.org/vignouse/365/2019-01-10 - another in what has now become a mini-series on the history of the the iron industry at Paimpont. This shows all the foundry buildings still standing - those without roofs date from the earliest days of the site in 1633. The only thing missing now are the blast furnaces... and those are for tomorrow!

More pleasing viewed on black I think...

great textures and details - really interesting series

I was bragging on you at the camera club and when I should a few pictures they loved them.

[Henri Russell]

You do have a photographic art for black and white.

[Richard Sayer]

@henrir How kind: I guess it goes back to 65 years ago when I was 9 years old and my father taught me to contact print B&W negatives!

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor I'm blushing!

[judith deacon]

Yes, definitely a master monochomist - a fabulous image.

[Jennifer Eurell]

Nice viewpoint.

[Marnie]

As a (retired) economic historian I find so much so interesting in these kinds of shots.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I'm loving this too - you have so much history there, it's great to see it and hear some of the story as well!

[Margo Sayer]

VML the POV bringing a fascinating perspective to include the forest beyond; the fulcrum of Paimpont's heritage.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely image and history. Looking forward to tomorrow's 'blast from the past'!

[gloria jones]
