Description This tomb seems to bend a little bit backwards just to have a better view of the sky... or maybe tries its best to fall backwards into the vineyards to taste some grapes...

I re-edit this because here is a some wonderful words that my great friend and wonderful poet ~Sentient-Dream has written on this picture :

Emotional,
Oh, yes, distressing
I once believed in your thought
You never cared, I once believed it
Now you have left me here to rott.
Emotional,
Oh, yes, and touching
Above me proud sign of the cross
Never believed, I always knew it
Noy you imprisoned me in stone
Emotional,
Oh, yes... this world
I sometimes feel all of the beauty
Which lies beyond this cursed walls
For it, you I will always envy,
And yet... you're out there
...all alone.

Thanks so much to you my friend Sentient...

Hoho. Le chemin des croix, je n'avais jamais songé a aller là bas pour prendre des photos.
Bonne idée, jolie photo.
Bravo

This is just stunning.

I havent seen much of your stuff recently due to exams, preparation for my first exhibition (nervous), plus a deviant watch list currently of 472 deviations, which i probably wont look through completely. However, i decided to have a look through your gallery again and go backto the start and this one really stood out. The building seems to be turning its back on the world, and the contast between the light front and dark back is awesome.

I really love this style of your photography, with the dramatic clouds and shadows. I think you should do more of this style, its fantastic. for sure.

Fantastic landscape shot.

Great colors. The tomb seems to bend, the sky is dramatically blue. I am amazed by the inspiaring ambient !!!

By the way, I admire your gallery and I will start watching your work. I discovered your work just now, because I am a relatively newbie in devianart, and in photography at large.

I've looked thru your gallery, and this is my favourite of the 203 photos... so far.

I like the mixture of dark tones and heavy saturation.
That seems to be common in your gallery

Your works would look nice in a book

grandiose, et en même temps très calme.Calme par l'absence d'action mais aussi par le côté nature, pâturages, campagne. C'est très caricatural en fait cette photo, ça fait ressortir les idées de la conception de l'objet "pierre tombale" ou (mince je ne sais plus comment ça s'appelle, j'ai une mémoire à *****), (tant pis), en voulant créer un objet qui rappelle la grandeur, la mégalomanie, tout en obligeant à respecter un grand silence, l'obligation de garder tout cet élan de grandeur dans un contexte de "mémoire", d'enfermer le tout dans le passé.
Mais ce qui est marrant aussi, c'est que c'est l'homme qui est naturellement à la base de toutes ces idées, et qu'ici il est absent, on a l'impression qu'il ne sert à rien dans tout ce processus de construction de l'objet dont on parle. Bon je vais arrêter de penser tout haut... très jolie photo, j'aime beaucoup

sud de la France, entre Montpellier et Béziers, à 1h de la frontière espagnole, dans l'arrière pays, garrigue et vignobles, c'est beau et paisible... loin de la vie des fous et des méchants de ce monde...

It's almost like it's on the border between two very different lands. You can see the tomb at the edge of exposed soil - dirty and dusty. Then below is blue sky, green grass, vineyards, etc. Interesting composition that makes for a great image.

Awesome picture with amazing colors, i really like it. But I don't like that the big clouds are so black at the bottom, I think it would look better if they were dark grey or so.
