Paris in December

At the end of the year, the cold temperature is coming slowly. A short snow has fallen, but the sun makes disapear it. I think that to-morrow will be perfectly white.

The Grand Palais (Paris) : other views.

Some other pictures of the Grand Palais. I tried to show the light crossing through the building and people enjoying simply.

Sunday at the "Grand Palais"

The "Grand Palais" (great palace) was built in 1900 for the "Exposition Universelle". It is built of glass and metal. Usually, we find there exposistions of painting. The renovation work of the canopy is finished. While waiting for reopening, Paris had the idea to install a fun fair there : the large wheel goes up until the top of the canopy.

Photos in a photo

Yesterday in the evening, around the Senat's gardens in Paris. A photo's exhibition about people of the world.

December on the beach

It was on the begining of december. Much wind rolling the waves, giving a color and a smoky shape to the clouds. I like to feel the wind blowing the salted smell in my face. In front of the beach, the town fade to a shadow .... I want to leave it in a boat, crossing the Atlantic, to reach the hot water of Caraibes and to stay in an other harbour for a while.

Endless walking

I choose to accompany the subway in his road. It is beautiful, made of brick and metal. On foot, I see people, I feel the odors of the city. The day hardly has just risen. I am well; I do not want to stop.

Paris 13ème (Walking in)

Last week, I was awaked very early. So I decided to go to my work on foot. Passing by the metro (this part is aerial), I kept these pictures. It is a part of this walk. I saw a man; what is he doing alone this morning? A rendez-vous? Alone i the life? Lost ?

Blue light on Notre-Dame of Paris

At Paris, Notre-Dame cathedral with the lights on the front : silhouette of Jesus on it.

At night

Winter has come with the rare sun during the day. I explore the night with the new lights in my camera. It was taken at Paris in the centre, near Notre Dame de Paris.

Bailar, bailar (dance, dance).

2 other views of the weekly meeting in the market of Barcelona (Spain). People want to keep the traditional pleasure to find the friends and to feel beeing a citizen of Barcelona.



Again ...

Fiesta en Barcelona

When the end of the week comes in Barcelona (Spain), people come to sing and dance near the old Market.

Birthday's place

This building is situated just in front of my birthday's place. When I was a little child, I used to look at the frontage. And all the statues which I saw made me invent many stories, all differents. When the storm came, the characters were malicious ...

Panorama

From the summit of the mountain, the valley ...

Alsace (2)

An other view of a so typical village in Alsace. We are in october and the grape is ready to be cut for wine.

In Alsace

I remember, one year ago, walking for some days in Alsace (east of France). I had discovered this region; I'll come back.

Rolling with the wind

Rolling on the grass with the wind for helping.

Layed on the beach

When I reached the beach, I saw this piece. Like an abstract statue. I did'not realize at the first sight what it could be...

Bridge-canal of Briare

Do u know what is a "bridge-canal" ? This is a canal which pass over a river. Like a bridge, but the "bridge" is deep and filled of water.
Done to avoid to cross a village, the bridge-canal changes of bank. It is situated in the south of Paris near Nevers.

Between the sky and the water.

Above us only sky, under :the water. And between, the grass and the castle built by the men.

Trees (2) : the thin and the fat

Taken near the Castle of Chantilly. I felt that the light crossing the leaves gave a sensation of lightness. Lonelyness of the two trees planted among the green grass.

Park in Africa

Sensation of freedom, peace and air... My eyes were full of colours.

Kilmandjaro viewed from a plane

Not always the opportunity to see the Kilimandjaro. So I took my camera to get this picture. Next year, 'll try to climb it.

Alone in Paris

"Allo, speaking as I can see the immensity of the city ..." All these lights and she is peaceful.

Walking on the plateform

I am in the city, I walk on the lateform of Montparnasse station in Paris. It is night. My body is here and my soul is dreaming. In little time, i 'll have disapeared...

Bikes for ever ...

I had a dream : bikes for ever in my town! Hope son to be real ! Do you?

Art of the 20th century

When I look at it, passing by, I said to me : it is beautiful !

So purple aspect !

I was rambling in Madeira island. On the way, the flowers flashed through the sky. Purple light!

National Library (near by)

Some woods on the ground and put among this way some pieces of metal. What does it represent?

Sky ... scrapper

When I took this photo, I have thought to the geometry. Multiplication of horizontal lines; variety of the matters. And at the back, a line growing into the sky.
Contrast of the colours : clear at up, and darker at down.
I tried to put in this picture many oppositions, in many ways and point of view. Don't you?

Rambling on the beach

I like the smell of the wood, washed by the waves. Near, the North sea, and this child on a bike. Somme people crying around, but almost the sound of the sea far, filling my ears.

Beauty and peace

When I remember this place, I would like to stay many weeks near the water of the lake. Looking at the beauty of the landscape and my mind being peaceful.

Blue sky near the sea

It was on a recent day in september. Time, wind and light mixed.

"Nuit blanche" à Paris

"White night" is a concept created in Paris about the modern art and the walk at night. This is the 4th edition.
Photo 1 : picture on a house; photos 2 and 3 : "mad grass" in LaPitié Salpétrière; photo 4 : along the Seine

Etretat

I am alone in front of the cliff, breathing the odor of the sea.

Mombasa

I remember the beach. White sand, and in the far, the coral. People passing by. The quiet life.It was the second stay in two years.
