Could have posted this one for Ailsa’s ‘Pink’ Travel Theme, but not sufficient pink, I thought….
This one is from a trip to France some years ago, and was taken in Colmar, Alsace, where there are some lovely roofscapes and old medieval buildings. Waiting or watching?

Watching I think. Like you I love rooftops but it hard to get a good photo of them.
Totally agree….many times the composition isn’t right, or the light all wrong etc etc….I have frequently been frustrated by my inability to capture what I feel….
Definitely watching – it’s in the body language 🙂 And definitely enough pink! Love the roof too…
Ah well, a missed pink trick… I agree re watching, but I have another image some minutes later where she is joined by someone else…. That roof is marvellous, I agree.
Pink shirt!!
Vibrant pink! 🙂
I loved the contrast in front of the lovely building!
Thanks! 🙂
Those roofscapes are gorgeous indeed Sue. Great shot! 😀
Thanks, Sonel, much appreciated….glad you like it! 🙂
Nice shot. An amazing looking building.
There are some great old buildings in Alsace..
My vote would be for watching, I also think this would have worked for pink if you had wanted it to.
🙂
I think she’s about to throw herself off…
Someone’s just told her that her tiles need re-pointing.
There’s always an undercurrent of unease when you are around, Stuart! I know she didn’t throw herself off, because another image I took later on show her talking animatedly to someone else….I shall await your. Version of events with interest….
HA HA HA…
An undercurrent of unease….THAT I LOVE !!
🙂
The other person was a roofer, “I’m sorry love but it’s all gorra come off….”
…..said in a French accent 😉
“Madame, Je suis desole………..il doit aller..”
🙂
Mon dieu, c’est pas possible!! 😦
And that’s when she jumps…..
You should have trusted me, I recognize tile-based despair when I see it.
Poor woman.
Sounds like you’ve had first hand experience of tile-based despair….
Yep…….
I got through it but only just.
My roof lasted from 1935 to 2007 so I suppose I shouldn’t complain too bitterly…I just wish I hadn’t dropped on the last (very leaky) seven years.
Yikes
Yikes indeed.
I can’t talk about it anymore…It still casts a shadow on my credit card statement.
😦
Wonderful shot!
Thanks! 🙂
Have some fantastic memories from Colmar …. and but I also became violent ill after picking and eating grapes from the wine yard that was in the middle of the town.
That sounds dodgy…
I tell you, I thought I was going to die … we had an expensive meal on this fantastic star restaurant and first I thought it was the food .. there, thank god I didn’t say anything .. then I remember the grape I had eaten when we went for a walk in town .. the was of course sprayed with insecticides.
Love that ROOF!!
Great, isn’t it!
Fabullous roof and colours! Pink enough for me.
Good!
