This is some kind of a guide for the canal barges to direct them towards the middle of the tunnel, which is higher and deeper.
The boats are towed with an electric driven tugboat, if you look closely you can see the overhead lines providing the power reflected in the water, it's like a trolleybus but on water.
Also these concrete constructions have a secondary purpose as to prevent any boats to get stuck, to land or to moor near the tunnel entrance preventing safe traffic.
These tunnels were built under the reign of Napoleon III (some even under Napoleon I) and originally horses (or people) were used to tow the barges making the navigable section smaler as there was a sidewalk for this towing. Later, at the arrival of the electric system, this sidewalk was eliminated allowing for larger/wider barges.
There is no aeration in these tunnels, so no combustion engines can be used, that's the reason for the trolly system.

This construction is open, no platform, this to prevent it to be used as a dock side, there are only e few emergency mooring posts provided.

BTW, on top of the tunnel site, there was a nice little museum explaining it all...

Thank you. I spend a couple of days pondering its purpose.

Glacier d'Argentière, Chamonix Mont-Blanc. April 2022.
Horseman SW617P Schneider SA 90mm XL. Kodak Ektar 100.

This is one of my favorite locations in the region and I could spend several lifetimes photographing those mountains.
The two left most peaks are Aiguille du Chardonnet and Aiguille d'Argentière, and on the far right is the Mont-Dolant which is the natural land barrier between France Switzerland and Italy.

Spectacular.

Interesting the not level horizon colors in the background. Totally not noticable, and the framing is perfect to get the whole scene in this wide frame. Everything that matters is right here. Looks like an amazing place to hike, as well.

Thanks Moose . I skinned up with touring skis 4 days in a row to get the perfect sunset and shot a "better" version with a wider lens but somehow managed to lose the roll of film - probably skiing back down at night . I'll have to wait until next winter

Beautiful shot.

Thanks GLS !

Philippe, fine work with the Superwide. I particularly like the open shadows in the architectural images.

Thank you for your comment.
And yes, the quality of the (old-) Biogon, and the Tri-X, are inspiring!

 

[GregY]

I understand your appreciation of the Biogon. I feel the same way about the Tessar on my '58 Rolleiflex T....I wouldn't trade it for any Planar.

That exposure is sublime. White snow to deep shadows... just perfectly balanced.

This is a print I'd love to see in person. Your work is inspiring man.

Thank you. Printing is as much of an obsession for me as taking photos.

Agreed. I always preferred the Tessar to the Planar. I also have a Tessar on my Noblex which is wonderful.
