It would be beautiful to see these in a book. Thank you for your inspiration. Henry Adams would be proud.

Visitei esta magnífica Cathedral, em companhia de um grande amigo, Gérard Béhague, que possuia profundos conhecimentos sobre o estilo, e todos os pequenos detalhes dessa maravilha! Foi uma verdadeira lição de arte! visitamos a região quase toda, e passeamos na cidade de Coutances. Depois partinos para Annonville onde sua familia possuia um Manoir do Séc.XVII, e ali passamos uma noite de Natal em familia: INESQUECÍVEL

I went through the town of Coutances in 1974 on a foreign study tour. We did not get to stop but I remember seeing the spires of the cathedral looming up in the distance and wishing that I could visit.Viewing these photos has shown me exactly how much I missed...I plan to take a sidetrip to Normandy the next time I am in southtern England and will put this magnificant cathedral on my itinerary.

Comment ne pas être ému devant tant de beauté... surtout quand on l'a vu bruler en 44

Jean-Claude Liehn		02-May-2006 19:20
Très beau travail. Les intérieurs de cathédrale ne sont pas faciles à photographier. Bravo encore.

Superbe! vote

pingupingu		15-Jan-2006 13:46
très belle galerie, avec la lumière bien maitrisée, et vraiment une bonne utilisation , à bon escient, des techniques 'limites' comme l'ultra grand angle. Je suis sur que c'est le genre de galerie qui sucite (ou rescucite .. ) des vocations :) Bravo

Rolf		03-Jan-2006 08:19
Je suis Coutançais, et je n'avais jamais vu la cathédrale comme ça ! Merci.

Jared Magneson		08-Dec-2005 03:37
These shots are beautiful! I've been dabbling in architecture for years, and these represent the greatest arch reference I've seen online, and they are beautifully artistic as well. Thanks for sharing them... - Jared

Great gallery. Like your use of unconventional, but striking, composition.

Bernd Koenemann		18-Nov-2005 16:00
This unusual look at a very common subject (there must be billions of church photos floating around) is simply eyeopening.

Richard Calmes		17-Nov-2005 15:57
Good work! I have a feeling of the scale and craftsmanship when I look at these pictures. Good lighting too.

Hodero		15-Nov-2005 06:57
I agree with Lorin...voted.

Brian Klimowski		13-Nov-2005 06:26

lorin niculae		11-Nov-2005 20:33
A gallery to remember for its simple yet very subtle imagery, your effort to show it to us in such a marvellous way certainly deserves a big vote! Bravo et merci!

Breathtakingly beautiful images. Superb technique & presentation. A very enjoyable and interesting gallrey. Bravo! regards Rob

Alastair ROSS		10-Nov-2005 23:25
Your gallery of Coutances is wonderful. It is one of the most underated cathedrals in France. I have a collection of 45 photos waiting processing, but I will be hard pressed to match the beauty of yours. Congratulations.

Zane Paxton		10-Nov-2005 09:51
Beautifully done!

Guest		10-Nov-2005 06:36

You've done a fantastic work. The composition of all the shots is so well balanced. Splendid light and angle. Those aren't just photos, they are photos full of emotions. Superbe!

You have captured some beautiful images. I love the graceful lines and curves. Tres bonne! Gets my vote.

Guest		05-Nov-2005 00:31
The 4th photograph is my top pick from this set. Is the one with the best balance of context and detail and the appropriate symmetric and dramatic wide angle composition. Nicely done!

Guest		04-Nov-2005 22:27
great gallery!

Adalberto Tiburzi		04-Nov-2005 21:33
Toute la puissance du Early Gothic.
