c'est une résidence de particulier située dans un endroit très célèbre

Et puis pour donner quelques explication de ma disparition, je n'ai pas pu accéder au forum car mon compte était bloqué... Alors si vous le souhaitez toujours on peut reprendre , sinon je vous laisse entre anciens

Bonsoir
Mis à part l' architecture cette façade a t' elle un intérêt, une spécificité? Chinois avait pose la question en Asie?
Je vais demander, : Amérique du Nord, ?

Hello,
J' ai déjà proposé l' Ouest des USA
N' ai point obtenu de réponse , il semblerait que nous ne devions pas trouver trop vite😕🤪😇🙂
Hi!
C'est pénible cette histoire de messages limités😠 Je pense que gunst ne le savait pas...
Ca ne sert pas toujours à grand chose, notre célèbre folle dingue réincarnée arrive toujours à ce faufiler!🤪😉 Tant pis, nous aurons 1 ou 2 réponses par jour 🤪, fin de semaine prochaine on aura peut être trouvé!

Pour être zen , on ne risque pas d' aller trop speed
Donc , en récapitulant:
Maison d' un particulier dans un quartier célèbre en Amérique du nord, lieu chargé de zénitude...
Pour parler de "la démultipliéee", je ne l' avais point croisé ces derniers temps mais j' étais surtout sur le jeu😊

Erreur, j'ai prévenu juste avant la mise en jeu de la photo. Ensuite j'ai été le plus irrité de l'absence de SAV, oubliant mon propre avertissement. Mais c'est tout de même très énervant.
A l'avenir, il faut penser à ne donner la main qu'à des membres jouissant d'un accès illimité.
Pour l'instant, travailler notre zénitude devrait nous amener à la solution.

Perso, je dirais que ce serait à la personne, avertie de prendre la décision de" s' abstenir" untemps dans ces conditions
Mais on va me dire que je suis trop "sav"
Je trouve, mais cela n' engage que moi, que ce jeu n' est intéressant que si il arrive à être rythmé , mias c' est souvent difficile
La période probatoire ne garantit rien Il est arrivé que des anciens de VF mettent plus de 24h à répondre alors.. 😕
Certains assurent un suivi parfait
Le mieux serait de trouver rapidement la solution tout seuls mais une maison d' un particulier...
N' oublions pas de rester conviviaux 🙂

Pour la relation intérêt/rythme, cela tombe sous le sens. S'il arrive aussi à des anciens de saboter le SAV...la pèriode probatoire n'est pas toute la solution. Alors...restons conviviaux et jouons ...

Des endroits zen en Amérique du Nord?
Et de plus célèbres
Les lieux que je trouve zen ne sont pas urbanisés( pour ce que j' en connais)
La Californie?
Du côté de Montreal? Il y a des quartiers très calmes Si tu as une idée pour qu' on puisse avancer

Non désolé aucune idée. Comme en atteste mon profile, que je n'ai pas aseptisé, moi, je ne suis jamais allé me promener bien loin de mon
quartier.
Alors une batisse moderne sans style, entourée de petits immeubles basiques, qui évoquent la zénitude, sur un continent que je ne connais pas....non, vraiment ça ne m'inspire pas.
Désolé, mais je t'abandonne. Bonne nuit.

Il est exact que je l' ai aseptisé mais depuis très peu de temps moins d' un mois, par rapport au jeu après avoir intérieurement râlé pour ce qui est du profil épuré d' une grande partie des joueurs, je ne dis pas que c' est une "bonne" chose🙂
Une bonne réponse parmi les 4 proposées, mais il faut être plus précis que cela.

un indice supplémentaire : un lieu symbolique des 7O' dont l'esprit est encore palpable aujourd'hui...🙂

Bonjour à tous, 🙂
J'ai eu un MP de Gunst:
Je demissione, j'ai voulu entrer en ligne pour vous donner des indices pour le jeu. Mais à nouveau impossible. Je vous laisse donc entre initiés, dommage... Pour la photo, il s'agissait de Santa Monica sur Venice Beach face à l'océan pacifique.

Vas-y si tu veux, vu l'affluence... un suivi en pointillés devrait suffire.

Bonjour,
mais vous etes qui pour donner ce genre de directive? "A l'avenir, il faut penser à ne donner la main qu'à des membres jouissant d'un accès illimité."
Quand je suis arrivé ici j'ai répondu par MP a tout ceux qui donnait des reponses. je ne viens plus depuis que des "nouveaux" aient pris la main et sont tellement crispés pour ne pas dire autre chose quand ils ont pas leur photo quotidienne, que l'on ait pris ma place parce que j'étais resté quelques heures (quatre je crois ) sans donné signe de vie (eh oui je bosse pas sur ordi)
Quand le jeu a débuté, on postait des photos, on répondait, on sa fouaitt d"un quelconque "SAV" ca prenait du temps mais il y avait du monde mantenant vous vous battez entre vous. Maintenant c'est ah ben j'ai trouvé la réponse mais je peux pas mettre de photo c'est a qui qui voudra (ca s'appelle début d'addiction et cela peut etre dangeureux).
Vous voyez le fait de ne plus venir jouer ne ma manque pas, ce qui me manquera ce sera vos réactions.

The theme for this July’s photo contest is:
Bridges of the World
Vasco da Gama Bridge in Lisbon
Here’s the definition of a bridge: “A structure, typically made of stone, wood, or metal, that spans a depression or obstacle (such as a transportation route or waterway) by connecting the two sides or crossing over the obstacle.”
Viaducts, aqueducts, and footbridges will all be accepted.
Millau Viaduct
To allow for as many original photos as possible, the bridge can be photographed from the side, below, or above—the main thing is that it’s the focal point of the image.
Bridge in the Algarve
Pont du Gard from below
Details are also welcome, as long as you can still recognize it’s a bridge 😊
Brooklyn Bridge
Practical details:
Participation: Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Sunday, 26/07 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Monday, 27/07 to Friday, 31/07 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Selected photos should be listed in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer whose photo receives the most points.
Results will be announced on 01/08. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing August 2026’s contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another contest are not eligible to participate in this one.

Hello,
It might not be very original, but I see it hasn’t been suggested—or at least not for a very long time. I’d like to invite you to discover the beauty of the great outdoors through landscape photos. Whether they’re desert, sea, countryside, or mountain scenes—with or without other elements (people, buildings, animals, etc.)—they should make us want to dive right in without hesitation.
To participate: Photo submissions until Wednesday, June 24 at 11:59 PM You can post up to 3 photos, numbered and shared in separate messages, along with a short description of the place and the story behind it.
To vote: from Thursday, June 25 at 12:01 AM to Monday, June 29 at 11:59 PM After the deadline, it’s too late!
Please include the photo number, username, and the points awarded: Photo #1 = 3 pts Photo #2 = 2 pts Photo #3 = 1 pt
All VF members can vote (even those who didn’t submit photos). In case of a tie for first place, the winning photo will be the one with the most first-place votes, then second-place votes! The lucky winner will get to organize July 2026’s photo contest.

This is where we chat.
If you’ve already posted your three photos in the contest thread Staircases: May 2026 Photo Contest Theme and a fourth one comes to mind, you can ease your staircase obsession here.
A few examples of staircases:
Some of the 6,600 steps on the staircase leading to the summit of Jade Emperor Peak at 1,545 meters.
Emergency staircase at the Orléans library (France).
Brussels street artist Créons incorporates the staircase into the dress design of his character.
The staircase is part of the roof of Villa Malaparte (Adalberto Libera) on the island of Capri (Italy).

Hello
This month’s photo contest theme for May 2026 is "Staircases"
Plural or singular? Does it really matter as long as you’re told you’ve gone up or down them well?
Anyway, it’s not that complicated, even though I’m sure some will manage to overcomplicate it—after all, why keep things simple when making them complicated is so much more fun (as an Indian proverb goes).

Hey there!
This is the spot where we can chill and chat about fishing at sea worldwide 😊
Here are two charming fishermen taking a well-deserved break near Zanzibar!

Here are two charming fishermen taking a well-deserved break near Zanzibar!
The 140th (wow!) edition of the contest is now live!
Since it’s April Fools’ month and I’m a diver at heart, I had to pick a theme around the sea and fish.
This month’s theme is: sea fishing 🙂. Deep-sea fishing, rockpooling, shore casting, shellfish & crustaceans—anything remotely related to sea fishing fits the bill 😉
Photos of fishing boats, fishing ports, fish auctions, seafood stalls, nets and trawls, lobster pots, fishermen, your kids collecting cockles, even those New Year’s oyster shells 😏—no limits as long as it ties into the theme 😛 And of course, a special shout-out to anglers worldwide! 🙂
I’m traveling right now, so I don’t have many photos on hand. To illustrate the theme, I’ve chosen this shot of a small Vietnamese fishing boat I spotted near the Cham Islands, returning from a dive.
Contest rules: You can post up to three photos, each in a separate message, clearly numbering them (1, 2, or 3) and including the location where the photo was taken. Any explanations about your photos are welcome.
When voting, you’ll choose three photos, clearly stating the participant’s name followed by their photo number. The first photo in your vote gets three points, the second gets two, and the third gets one.
The winner will be the person whose photo earns the most points. In case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the most first-place votes, or if still tied, the most second-place votes. If it’s a perfect tie, the person who reached their score first wins. The winner then gets the honor of choosing and organizing May 2026’s contest theme. Ties for any other position won’t be broken. Finally, you don’t need to enter the contest to vote, but participants (and I hope there’ll be lots of you!) are *strongly* encouraged to vote!
Please only post contest photos in this thread. Starting Saturday, April 25 (00:01 Paris time), only votes should be posted.
Key dates: You can submit your photos from today until Friday, April 24, 2026 (23:59 Paris time—Xavier, you can do the math for Perth 😏). Voting starts the very next minute and ends on Thursday, April 29 (23:59 Paris time). Results will be announced on Thursday, April 30, 2026... The next host can take over on Saturday, May 2 (yeah, May 1 is a no-work day 😛)
Ready, set, shoot!
Since it’s April Fools’ month and I’m a diver at heart, I had to pick a theme around the sea and fish.
This month’s theme is: sea fishing 🙂. Deep-sea fishing, rockpooling, shore casting, shellfish & crustaceans—anything remotely related to sea fishing fits the bill 😉
Photos of fishing boats, fishing ports, fish auctions, seafood stalls, nets and trawls, lobster pots, fishermen, your kids collecting cockles, even those New Year’s oyster shells 😏—no limits as long as it ties into the theme 😛 And of course, a special shout-out to anglers worldwide! 🙂
I’m traveling right now, so I don’t have many photos on hand. To illustrate the theme, I’ve chosen this shot of a small Vietnamese fishing boat I spotted near the Cham Islands, returning from a dive.
Contest rules: You can post up to three photos, each in a separate message, clearly numbering them (1, 2, or 3) and including the location where the photo was taken. Any explanations about your photos are welcome.
When voting, you’ll choose three photos, clearly stating the participant’s name followed by their photo number. The first photo in your vote gets three points, the second gets two, and the third gets one.
The winner will be the person whose photo earns the most points. In case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the most first-place votes, or if still tied, the most second-place votes. If it’s a perfect tie, the person who reached their score first wins. The winner then gets the honor of choosing and organizing May 2026’s contest theme. Ties for any other position won’t be broken. Finally, you don’t need to enter the contest to vote, but participants (and I hope there’ll be lots of you!) are *strongly* encouraged to vote!
Please only post contest photos in this thread. Starting Saturday, April 25 (00:01 Paris time), only votes should be posted.
Key dates: You can submit your photos from today until Friday, April 24, 2026 (23:59 Paris time—Xavier, you can do the math for Perth 😏). Voting starts the very next minute and ends on Thursday, April 29 (23:59 Paris time). Results will be announced on Thursday, April 30, 2026... The next host can take over on Saturday, May 2 (yeah, May 1 is a no-work day 😛)
Ready, set, shoot!
The 139th edition of this contest is now open, and this month’s theme is:
« Metal, Metallic».
From ore to rockets, wire to the Eiffel Tower—or in a pinch, even a self-portrait at the bottom of a spoon—the theme is broad enough that you should be able to come up with at least three ideas pretty easily! Sure, things might get tricky when it’s time to vote, but that could just be a sign of a successful contest, right?! But we’re not there yet.
Contest rules: You can post up to three photos, each in a separate message, clearly indicating their number (1, 2, or 3) along with the location where the photo was taken. Any explanations about your photos are welcome.
You’ll vote for three photos, clearly stating the name of the participant you’ve chosen, followed by the photo number. The first photo in your vote will receive three points, the second two points, and the third one point.
The winner will be the person whose photo earns the most points. In case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the most first-place votes—or, if still tied, the most second-place votes. Finally, if it’s a perfect tie, the winner will be the one who reached their score first. The winner will then have the pleasure of choosing the theme for the April 2026 contest and organizing it. Ties for any position other than first won’t be broken. Lastly, you don’t need to participate in the contest to vote. However, participants (and I hope there’ll be lots of you!) are strongly encouraged to vote!
Please only post contest photos in this thread, and starting Thursday, March 26 (00:01 Paris time), only votes.
Key dates: You can submit your photos starting today, Tuesday, March 3, 2026, until Wednesday, March 25, 2026 (23:59 Paris time). Voting will begin the minute after and end on Monday, March 30 (23:59 Paris time). Results will be announced on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 ... if all goes well!

Let’s stick with the water theme—it’s definitely the season (maybe a bit *too* much for some of those dealing with floods 😕).
After the flowing waters (with varying energy levels), let’s take it easy with still waters:
Lakes (Annecy)
Ponds (near Moustiers Saint Marie)
Lagoons (Bacalar)
If you’ve got nice photos of a pond—or even a puddle—why not? Natural bodies of water only: no pools or fountains (reservoir lakes are accepted… because they often look like natural lakes ).
The contest rules are the same as always 😉: Up to 3 photos per member, one photo per post (a little explanation is better), and past winning photos from other VF contests aren’t allowed. You have until Sunday, February 22nd at 11:59 PM (Paris time) to post your photos. Voting starts Monday the 23rd at midnight—rank your top 3 photos in order (3, 2, and 1 points). Voting ends Saturday, February 28th at 11:59 PM. Results will be announced on March 1st. The winning photo is the one with the most points (in case of a tie, the photo ranked first the most times wins). The lucky winner gets to organize March’s contest 😎.

For those who want to chat quietly by the riverbanks, this is the place!
The first theme of 2026 is:
"Waterways Around the World".
Water is present almost everywhere on our blue planet, so I’ve narrowed the theme down to waterways—rivers, streams, brooks, and the like.
Seas, oceans, lakes, or other stagnant waters won’t be considered for this month’s theme 😅. However, waterfalls and cascades are very welcome 😊!
Practical details:
**Participation** Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Sunday, January 25th at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (commentary, location, etc.).
**Voting** Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Monday, January 26th to Saturday, January 31st at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Photos should be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer whose photo receives the most points.
Results will be published on February 1st. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing February 2026’s contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another contest are not eligible to participate in this one.
This thread is exclusively for contest photo submissions. All discussions, comments, and chit-chat should take place in the thread: here

To chat about waterways, this is the place.
I suggest we compete with photos of towers. No magic tricks or potter’s wheels—we’re talking about "tour" as in the feminine noun. So, a kind of tall building, round, square, or polygonal, or a high structure that could be metallic, or a flat-topped bell tower (campanile), or a high-rise building (building)...
You can find them almost everywhere in the world and from all eras.
The tower(s) must be the main subject of the photo.
Examples:
The first photo, which is Saint Mark’s Square (with the Campanile), won’t be accepted.
The second one, where the Campanile tower is the main subject, will be accepted.
Have fun and surprise us! Photos of computer towers are excluded 😏
Have fun and surprise us! Photos of computer towers are excluded 😏
This is the place to chat about December’s theme!
I’ll start with a little TOUR of the world’s TOURS.
Of course, you can submit multiple photos of the same tower in the contest—it’s the quality of the photo that’ll be judged during voting, not just the subject!

Good evening everyone,
So, it’s settled—the first idea (this book about the lush garden of a New York state parsonage, "this garden obsessed with the love this man had for his late wife." Reverend Cheney musically noting all the birdsongs, the water droplets in the watering can, the wind rushing through cloaks at the end of the 19th century) will be the theme.
Garden: A plot of land, usually enclosed, attached or not to a dwelling, planted with useful or ornamental vegetation.
So, private gardens, vegetable patches, herb gardens, botanical gardens, winter gardens with their lush greenhouses, the "hortus conclusus" of cloisters evoking the Garden of Eden, public gardens, and their extension into parks are all welcome. I’m sure I’ve forgotten some...
Photos can be posted until Monday, November 24 at midnight, following the usual rules: one per message, numbered from 1 to 3, with the location of the shot and, if you’d like, a few details.
Voting, where you explicitly assign 3 to 1 points to your top 3 photos, will take place from Tuesday, November 25 at 12:01 AM until Sunday, November 30 at midnight. The results will be announced on December 1.
Your turn! 😉
Catherine

Good evening everyone,
This is where we chat and post non-competition photos. Happy wandering (jogging is also welcome).
See you soon.

Hi everyone!
This theme has probably been done before... but not recently, at least 😉 Doors—open, closed, of houses, castles... even if only the threshold remains. Since I’m not home, I don’t have access to my photos right now, and regarding the rules, I’ll let you refer to one of the previous contests.
Photos can be posted until Thursday the 23rd at 11:59 PM (Paris time). Voting will take place from the 24th to the 30th of October, and the results will be announced on the 31st during the day.
See you soon! 🙂

Hi there, 🙂
The point of this contest isn’t to photograph Mathilde or even to frantically click the "report" button on every post in a thread.
It’s to post **road signs**!
Whether they’re official or not...
Funny or serious...
Of all shapes, all colors, in all languages...
The rules are the same as usual—I’ll let you check out the previous contests for reference. 😛
Just a quick reminder:
- Max of 3 photos per person.
- One photo per post (preferably embedded 😉) with a caption and the photo number.
Submissions close on **Monday, September 22, 2025, at 11:59 PM Paris time**.
Voting starts on **Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 11:59 PM** (and not a second before… 😇), Paris time, and ends on **Monday, September 29, 2025, at the same time** (still Paris time).
Results will be posted on **September 30, 2025**, sometime during the day!
Ready, set, snap!

Hi everyone,
Here’s the theme for August... the world’s felines.
Yep, wildlife photography! 😺
Forest cat
So, this theme isn’t exactly a "travel invitation," but coming up with a new one is quite a puzzle 😅. During February’s “white” theme discussion, we had pages of cats, so you should be inspired 😸. I won’t be restrictive—wild felines, domestic cats, and even those in zoos (though I’m not a fan) will be accepted. Plus, engravings, paintings, statues, or any other representations of felines fit the theme. The Sphinx is also welcome ;).
Practical details:
Participation: Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Monday, August 25th at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Tuesday, August 26th to Saturday, August 30th at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Selected photos will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer with the most points.
Results will be published on August 31st. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing September 2025’s contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another contest are not eligible for this one.

Here’s a beautiful specimen already:
Hi everyone,
This month’s contest theme is WOOD. Wood as a plant material—roots, trunks, branches that make up a tree. Dead or alive, splinters and knots. Sawdust too. Firewood, from the woodshed to the hearth. Wood as a crafting material and all the things it can become: from a spoon to a violin, a boat to a stave church, and so much more—way too long to list! 😉
Technical details:
1. Each of you can post up to 3 photos. One photo per message, numbered 1 to 3. Along with the shot, feel free to share a few written details—location, context, anecdote, or photography technique. Photos can be submitted until Tuesday, July 22 at midnight, Milan time.
2. Voting will take place from Wednesday, July 23 at 00:00 until Tuesday, July 29 at midnight. All forum members can vote for their 3 favorite photos, listing the photographer’s name and the photo number in order of preference: 3 points for first place, 2 for second, and 1 for third.
3. Results will be announced on Wednesday, July 30 during the day. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. Photos already featured on a podium are not eligible to compete.
The winner will have the special privilege of organizing August’s contest.
This thread is reserved for contest photos. For other wood-themed photos and general discussions, head here.
Alright, your turn! 😛

The theme for June is: A SERIES
"A series is a set of coherent images that share several common points while still being different from one another."
In 3 photos, posted simultaneously in the same message, I’d like you to tell me a little story with a few words. You’re allowed 2 series.
They can be narrative or thematic. For example: 3 shots representing 3 professions, 3 places of worship, 3 market stalls, 3 trains... the ideas are endless—whether in the same place or in different countries... or 3 images of the same place, photographed from 3 different angles, under 3 different lights... or 3 images where the predominant color is the same... Narrative and theme can, of course, overlap.
Practical details:
Participation Each VF member can submit up to 2 series, until Saturday, June 21 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each series of 3 photos must be presented in a single message, with its number indicated (series 1, series 2).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 series they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Saturday, June 21 at midnight until Saturday, June 28 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
The selected series will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st series: 3 points - 2nd: 2 points - 3rd: 1 point
The winner is the author of the series with the most points.
Results will be published on June 29 during the day. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing July 2025’s contest.
Photos that have won (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another VF contest are not eligible for this one.
This thread is exclusively for series submitted to the contest. All discussions, comments, and other chatter should take place in this thread.
...................................................................
Narrative: In Bali, I took a cooking class. We went to the market to shop with the teacher. We cleaned and prepped the ingredients to make, among other things, a lovely salad.
...........................................................................
Narrative and thematic: I really loved this place 30 km from Essaouira. A little souk "just as it is," as they say. The souk of Ida Ougourd.

Thematic: Green in nature. The green of tea plantations in Munnar, a bamboo forest in Les Landes, and a park in Tokyo.

Here’s the theme for the lovely month of May—no worries, it won’t be lilies of the valley! 😄
This month’s theme is: “Reflection(s)” This leaves a pretty wide scope: reflections in water, of course, but also in windows, on buildings... I’ll leave it to your imagination, but the reflection should be clearly visible.
If this theme has been used before, it doesn’t matter. It’s getting tricky to find new themes that can attract as many participants as possible.
I’m currently in northern Finland and don’t have access to my hard drives, so I’ll add a few photos when I return to France. Here’s just one I took with my smartphone yesterday late afternoon:

The winner is the author of the photo with the most points.
Results will be published on June 1. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing the June 2025 contest.
