Photographer's Note
Here the right bank of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, c'est the Iberville sector. Its history starts in 1764 with the establishment of the first colonists which spreads out thus on the first part of the XVIIIe century. To indicate the new agglomeration, one uses already the names of Bleury or Thousand-Rocks, this last toponym referring to stones that the bed of the river lets foresee out of low water. Become officially Christieville in 1847, the village takes form in edge of Trinity Church, the only church Anglican of Iberville founded in 1841. A few years later, that is to say in 1859, the name Christieville disappears to be replaced by Iberville in memory of famous Pierre Moyne d' Iberville. L'ιglise Saint-Athanase that l'on sees here was built in 1823. The municipality, from parish receives its incorporation in 1845 and takes the name of Saint-Athanase-in Bleury. It extends on a vast territory favourable with agriculture. It is on January 24 2001 which the new town of Saint-Jean-Iberville sees the day under the terms of a decree of municipal regrouping aiming at the old cities of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Iberville, Saint-Luc, the municipality of L'Acadie and the parish of Saint-Athanase. May 16, 2001, the city resulting from the municipal regrouping becomes officially the new city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

Wow! I really like how the two trees frame the church. Normally I am not a fan of the main subject being in the center of the photo, but it really works here. The reflections add a really nice visual interest too. Well seen and great job!

A perfect reflection, and a wonderful use of the trunks as a frame. I like this calm blue tone, Daniele, very well done.

Hi Daniele, I like how you framed the reflection and "upper part" between the trees. Very nice for symmetry that you also have the church in the middle. For me those pictures are always dangerous because usually the horizon is deadly in the middle, but here it works because of the trees. Yours, Jan

Un reflet magnifique , un choix de prise de vue judicieux malgrι les regles de photo qui n'aiment pas les choses centrιes.
Moi lmes regles je m'en contre balance, j'aime bien cette eglise en plein milieu entourι par les arbres.
Note trθs intιrressante

Great reflection. I like the smooth, matte, feel of the image. The framing of with the trees is great. I like the strong horizontal feel of the photo broken by the strong verticality of the church steeple. It almost gives the impression of looking at a wave on a graph with the strong vertical lines in the reflection. Very neat. Good job.

L'eau calme constitue souvent une magnifique opportunitι pour un paysage en miroir, ce qui est le cas ici. J'aime les troncs d'arbres inclus dans le dιcor. Un seul petit reproche (tout petit) : l'ιglise est peut-κtre trop centrιe entre les deux arbres.

peacful and quiet, well balanced and great lighting. I like the tiny cloud behind the church that breaks the empty skies. Great work.

You've found a very appropriate natural frame. The composition is good but I am most pleased with the very clear reflection placed right there at the middle.

wonderful composition. Perfect reflections in the wates and the blow of the sky and water are simple marvelous. The frame with the two trees make ur shot more nice because u brake the blue and that give more tone.

Un petit tour dans ta galerie et je dιcouvre des petites merveilles comme celle-ci.
Mκme si je regrette quelques petits dιtails de cadrage (ιglise et niveau des reflets trop centrιs), l'idιe de la composition et les couleurs sont remarquables.
Bien vu Daniθle!

Bonsoir Daniθle, Un rκve ton image, elle inspire le calme et la tranquilitι. La composition centrale ?? ηa ne me dιrange pas du tout, les arbres corrigent bien l'ιventuel entorse ΰ la rθgle. Amicalement/jr
