"Plus mon Loire gaulois, que le Tibre latin,

Plus mon petit Liré, que le mont Palatin,

Et plus que l'air marin la douceur angevine."

La mesure de la lumière est faite sur le ciel, partie la plus éclairée de l'image. Les zones sombres sont alors débouchées en ajoutant de la luminance et en retirant de la clarté pour donner un aspect très légèrement flou. Le fichier raw de départ permettait de le faire et d' éviter d'utiliser le mode HDR. Le format "Panorama" est obtenu en retaillant et rognant l'image.

 

The light is measured against the sky, the brightest part of the image. The dark areas are then unclogged by adding luminance and removing lightness to give a very slightly blurry appearance. The original raw file made it possible to do this and avoid using HDR mode. The "Panorama" format is obtained by resizing and cropping the image.

  

During our walk near Gilly-sur-Loire we hit this nice place. Perfect for lunch.

Gien is on the Loire River, 80 km (50 mi) from Orléans. The town was bought for the royal property by Philip II of France. The town is twinned with Malmesbury in England

The town of Gien-le-Vieux (Old Gien) became a parish in the high Middle Ages when Saint Peregrine, bishop of Auxerre, founded the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. In 760, the army of Pepin the short stopped at Gien-le-Vieux before going to fight against Gascony and Aquitaine. In the eighth century, Charlemagne authorised the construction of a fortified mound around the site of the present castle.

 

In the ninth and tenth centuries the decline of the Carolingian empire and Viking Raids led to a gradual abandonment of Gien-le-Vieux. The population mostly moved to the site of the current town of Gien which was easier to defend. However, the church of St. Peter and St. Paul survived until the seventeenth century.

Recent trip to the Loire Valley offered the opportunity to shoot some complete fields of sunflowers...but the life span of these in their glory is so short lived. Most fields had the sunflowers with drooped heavy heads ready for harvesting.

 

These offered the whole life cycle, of just opening, in bloom and drooping head, and a really mood stormy sky on its way in too.

A Varades le bras de la Loire passant au nord de l'île Mocquart est complètement à sec. 2022 nous montre bien les résultats des changements climatique.

At almost the same spot as Le Loire I captured this impressionist river bench.

ICM helped me a little with it.
