Thursday doors – Villefranche sur Mer

Black and White photos, Cities, Traveling France

I am utterly enchanted by the beauty of old buildings, their majestic arches and rustic charm drawing me in, their textures revealing the stories of time in all their weathered glory. The intricate details and historical significance of these structures deeply captivate me. I adore how light dances and contrasts, creating a mesmerizing play across the surfaces, illuminating the unique features of each masterpiece. I captured these at Villefranche sur Mer, a town that radiates charm and character at every corner. Yet, I acknowledge a composition mistake; I inadvertently cut off the arch, an essential element that conveyed the building’s grandeur, while focusing on the door, a moment I didn’t realize while I took it. This experience serves as a poignant reminder of the necessity to fully immerse oneself in a scene before pressing the shutter, as every element weaves together the photograph’s story.

  3. There are so many twists and turns in these photos, that I might not have noticed the partial arch. Especially since it frames the stairs and another arch. The B&W treatment adds an element of mystery to these photos.

  8. What a marvellous set of monochrome images, Ritva, I too am enchanted by the beauty of old buildings
