In the Bordeaux Fog // #photog

LOBB / Nikon D300 + Nikon 16-85 f/3.5-5.6 @ 26mm - 1/1000sec, f/5, ISO 100

 

This is from last years trip to Bordeaux. There's a place called "Miroir d'eau", where kids and adults alike spend some quality time together.

 

The place was created by landscape artists Claire and Michel Corajoud.

 

Corajoud replaced the working docks on the Garonne River with a giant rectangle of ½ thick water. Just enough water over a black granite (?) plaza to create a surface large enough to reflect the entire 18th century Stock Exchange building. The mirrored images of the building at night have already become a photo tourist's "must have" picture in Bordeaux.
