The curves of the Sacré-Cœur

The curves and textures of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre in Paris are evident in this close up photo of the roof. I love how the curves flow, and the patterns repeat.

  1. @donncha The photo’s great!Can’t say the same about the church. I’ve always thought its architecture vulgar and ugly, and its prominently visible placement unfortunate.What’s far worse, though, is the reason it was built. In any even half-decent world, it (like the Valle de los Caídos) would be dynamited.

  2. @donncha I really do want to emphasize that my dislike of the building (and its builders) does not extend to the photo! The regularity of the patterns in close-up is beautiful.Indeed it’s one of those rare cases where — though I *think* it’s b/w — I can’t be sure. Photos that look the same in colour and b/w are magical. Years ago I made some colour pictures of a German forest in winter after snowfall, and they could as easily have been b/w. They are among the best photos I’ve ever made.

    1. @marcas thanks Marcus, and you're right. It's a colour image! I even left off the black and white hashtag but I wondered if anyone would notice!Oh I love snow photos. They're magical! Have you shared them online?
