cool 

I didn't know Bal could paint! 

I was wondering where you had ran off to.... looks like a very inspiring place.

And this was the point in the gallery where I made a mess of my pants. 

I'm not so good with this sort of stuff, but most of the architecture in that city was said to be a mix of roman and gothic styles... 

Nice photos really.. I didn't know that Dordogne have this kind of architectural "treasure" !!
BTW, I made a little search on the web using google, and most of the architecture in the city are roman and gothic like you said... but concerning the photo pushplay mentionned, it's typically "Renaissance" Style architecture (XVIth century)... ;)

There's certainly some similarities between this:

this seems to be a decent assortment of references...when you can get a good view in the pics that is.


http://www.mont-saint-michel.net/ AHA... here's the monastery I was thinking about... It was a pretty cool daytrip if I recall. 

The Mont Saint-Michel is pretty bad ass, I ran around it once, some cool stuff, have to go back there some day with my cam. =) 

you had better. I want hi-res pics of every goddamn doorway in that place. 

Woo! bunch of referance and inspiration here! Thanks nitin, awesome stuff!

thanks nitin for quality stuff (it's cool when fotos are taken by the gamer/designer ;)

thx scampie for hosting 

all i have to say is thanks!!!the catacombs tour was cool.i see your site is being worked i couldn't contact the guys direct....awesome 

nitin really took some inspiring shots. Some of the images from the start of the series in particular are really interesting; a kind of style I've never studied before, or even seen many pictures of. So thanks a lot, and nice job scampie for the hosting. 

Oooh, nice shots man, thanks for sharing! Saved them all for eventual future reference. =)
Damn, I wanna go to egypt too someday... Mind describing your trip a bit maybe, so we can know what some of this stuff is and all? 

Could you put the .zip nitin gave you in that folder please? Just something I can get friends at microsoft to partially download 1600 times. 

sure, when I have some more time and can be bothered, I'll outline some of it. 

thanks man,those are some cool picks,i haven't made it there yet!!!! 

I was thinking I'd put them all in one big Rar file and put that up. 

I'd download it a a few thousand times, too. 

I was thinking I'd put them all in one big Rar file and put that up.

As long as the file is compressed, and is singular, I'm happy. 

I'll go through the pics tonight and post a brief writeup of whats what. 

yes, gimme. =)
