•  Support - Strange image. If possible, it would really up the educational value if a short explanation of what we're looking at were provided. This is a structure that is used as a wind tunnel, I gather? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:59, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
•  Info (Pictogram voting info.svg Info),The need to understand the aerodynamic phenomena, in as close as possible to reality, driven to achieve a large wind tunnel at atmospheric pressure, in Meudon. The S1 wind tunnel for testing of aircraft in real size was built from 1932 to 1934. Through the large dimensions of the test section, S1 can experiment had real 12 m wingspan, with the engine running and the driver on board. Until the 1970s, it is mainly aircraft (the Caravelle and the Concorde) but also cars (the 4 CV and the Beetle), trains, architectural elements, who have gone through the experimental chamber to be developed or improved (maximum speed 180 km / h). This 1933 building absorbs 7,000 m3 of reinforced concrete, 700 tons of iron, 1000 m3 of wood, and requires the establishment of 566 implementation plans (see old pictures on http://www.anciensonera.fr/?q=node/17).

•  Oppose Unusual, and definitely a QI, but not enough wow for me. Daniel Case (talk) 06:40, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose for poor lighting. If only all of the object was sunlit. --Kreuzschnabel 09:35, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
•  Weak support I like the atmospheric effect of the fog and colors, although I think it would be preferable to retake this same shot with a camera that can produce better resolution and fine detail. --Pine^✉ 07:06, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
•  Info It is now 6 years I expect extreme weather conditions to improve this picture ... Indeed, not only must it snows a lot in Paris, which is quite exceptional, but it is necessary that the sky is perfectly clear the next morning for a light fog and blue snow ... I must also be there at the right time! Ibex73 (talk) 12:32, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
  •  Comment Err … yes. Surprised? Photography is all about light, and light is (outside the studio) all about choosing the perfect moment, time-of-day, time-of-year … and outdoor photography is much about being lucky with the weather, too. --Kreuzschnabel 08:41, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
