7 World's Continents Photo Challenge - Europe Thursday

Hello everyone!

Here is my entry for the 200 SBD 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge created by @czechglobalhosts.

I was born and raised in Toulouse, one of the largest and most beautiful cities in France. Its nickname, la Ville Rose ("the Pink City"), refers to the distinctive pink bricks used to build many of its buildings in the old days.

This photo is a view of the Hôpital de La Grave, once the second largest hospital establishment there. It was named after the sandy bank ("grève" in French) of the Garonne River where it was built. On the left, you will see a part of the Pont Saint-Pierre.

I chose this image because I love the reflection of the buildings in the water. The beautiful texture of the clouds also adds an ominous feel. And I haven't been back in my hometown in years, so the scene brings back good memories.

It is also a quintessential view of Toulouse. Anybody who has visited the city will instantly know what they are looking at.
