Canal Midi

The Canal du Midi or Canal des Deux Mers (Occitan: Canal de las Doas Mars / Canal del Miègjorn) is a 240 km long canal in the south of France, le Midi. The canal connects the Garonne River to the Étang de Thau on the Mediterranean. The canal runs from the city of Toulouse down to the Mediterranean port of Sète (which was founded to serve as the eastern terminus of the Canal.)

The original purpose of the Canal du Midi was to be a shortcut between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, avoiding the long sea voyage around hostile Spain, Barbary pirates, and a trip that in the 17th century required a full month of sailing. The strategic value of this is obvious and it had been discussed for centuries, in particular when King Francis I brought Leonardo da Vinci to France in 1516 and commissioned a survey of a route from the Garonne at Toulouse to the Aude at Carcassonne.

Hi Jack,
peaceful and perfect, the reflections are facinating. I like how they trail out of scene just at the point of darkness. excellent compo!
Thanks for sharing

Hi, my friend!
Next interesting photo in your colection. It is beautiful view. I like your reflections in water. I like your colours and light.
Well done.

Hi Jack,
A picture that reminds me of an impressionistic painting. Very fine colours and an interesting composition with all the reflections of the trees. Very attractive!
Greetings from Gothenburg

Hello jack,
A wonderful study in green. I love the gradual increase of shade from right to left. The line of trees, together with their reflections, give a strong feeling of enclosure.
Beautiful!
Best wishes...Maggie

Hello Jack,

Tu as trouvé un très bon cadrage pour donner à ce canal une superbe allure.
Les reflets sont parfaits et donnent un rythme vraiment excellent dans la partie gauche de l'image.
J'ai tenté un autre type de cadrage en WS pour me concentrer sur la partie de gauche !
Excellent.

A+

Hi Jack,

Fine photo of the canal. Very nice perspective of the trees and their reflections. I imagine these lazy days on a boat, with French wine.. I was on such a trip in Burgundy and I have nice memory of it. Beautiful colours.

Hello Jack

Wonderful repetition of the trees, with marvellous symmetry, enhanced by the reflections. Good sharpness & colour saturation, with an excellent diffused light. Tfs!

Bonjours,
belle photo de ce canal du midi, bien vert, cet alignement d' arbres est de toute beauté, de plus avec cette courbe faite par ce cour d' eau et ces arbres eux mêmes.
Beaux reflets qui donne un superbe aspect a votre prise.

Amitiés Thomas

Hi Jack. Nice reflections and I like how the leaning trees together with their reflections are kind of creating a tunnel. This effect is enhanced by the curve. Nice picture, tfs.

Olá Dear Jack,

Good Pov. It’s simple but very effective to attract the viewer to the leading canal. Colours are interesting. Good symmetric reflections.
Good work! Regards,
Filipe

hey Jack

congrats

Not that easy to catch and compose, because of the dark light and the strong contrast. And you did it well, quite well, to share the typical mood of the place. Well done.
Stéphane

Anes loves green and now looking this image,I understand why
It gives so much serenity
Good reflection here too
But I admire mostly the peaceful mood
Hugs

Hi Jack
I appreciate well theese kind of green; it's not simple to find similar place in the canal way from Narbonne to Mèze.
Three weeks holidays but not many pictures for this year.
Sincères amitiés.

Excellent sharpness and perspective.
Cheers
