Canadian syle platform tents at Azay le Rideau...

...at least, that's what they are adverised as! There are various sizes all with a wooden structure which supports a small cabin with a canvas roof; underneath the platform are benches and a table. That's our Motor Home/RV you can just see parked up just behind the tree.

This is sooc and shot with the equivalent of a 50mm lens so it meets the criteria of my nf-sooc-2017 challenge as an extra post for today..

...and it pops nicely on black!

9.33 is not too late for a good night shot! Looks a good place to park for the night. Interesting about the platform tents -above flood level?

@maggiemae Partly I guess but it's also a style thing I think - there's another actually floating in the river (10 metres away) on inflatable pontoons.

Interesting. Think at my age I would prefer the rv or a hotel room. Done the tenting thing. You could wonder what lies in the dark.

@joansmor Interesting? That bad, huh!

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse No it was fun when I was a child but when I got older sleeping on air mattresses lost it's charm.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor They have real beds in them - I looked through a window!

[Delwyn Barnett]

That looks like fun - I like the idea of real beds!! :-) Lovely use of the street lamps for the cool lighting you have captured.

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse Ah then that sounds pretty good

[Jane Pittenger]

Wonderful lighting and detail

[gloria jones]

Great night shot and peek at your RV...:)

[Kathy]

Nice light and shadows.

[Harry J Benson]

it does pop nicely, you get to see more contrast

[Walks @ 7]

Sharp crisp detail in what looks to potentially be a real adventure.

[Diana]

A lovely shot and a fabulous idea.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Cool! Love the lines and high contrast. I have a cold of Mongolian yurts in my place in Sardinia, if you ever want to try... real beds, of course! And fully functional bathroom!

[Margo Sayer]

The trees and the lights create a relaxed atmosphere, not to mention the river running just a few metres away.. You've captured it well.

[David]

One day I'll try some night photography. You are very good at it.

[Richard Sayer]

@yrhenwr Thanks David - it's something I really enjoy so I always look for an opportunity... not tonight though, it's absolutely bucketing down with rain.
