I like Vegetables ...

Passing by the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, many flowers on the grass, but in a special place, many vegetables. This place is a garden but also a place for the student.

I was so many times in this park when I was a child. And now, nothing changed. Unconcern.

Barcelona (Passing by)

I went many times to Barcelona (Spain). And at each time, I saw the colors everywhere : in the street, the parks, the restaurant, the people ... and the market (here : the market of the Boqueria).

Three choices, one possibility.

I do not know what to choose: Must I post this letter before phoning or playing a little money to the lotto game?

Variations with the colors (2)

When I do not take photos, I try sometimes to paint. My inspiration may be a landscape or a people. It may also be the result of my imagination.

If the world was in Yellow

When I took this photo, it reminds me a dream I made. A world where everything would be of the same colour. Not in black and white, but in red, green ... and also in YELLOW ...

In this garden ...

It was somewhere in the center of France. This is the gardens of Eyrignac. I arrived in this place by chance. I was moved to see that this was carried out by one impassioned. For 40 years, he has worked to create and improve its garden "à la française". All is made of range of greens. The trees and the shrubs are cut to give geometrical constructions like alive sculptures.

In the Périgord.

Some images of the week that I spent in Périgord (French area of South-west). Here, it is the castle of Beynac. Built in the Middle Ages, to be restored. Located at 150 meters in top of cliff to the Dordogne river.

The dream's woman

Florence (Again)

I am not bored to contemplate the landscapes of Florence. It is even more beautiful view from far. At a few hundred meters of the center of the city, I discover the countryside very quickly. The light spouts out sky and floods the roofs of the city.

Four days at Florence

We arrived in the early morning by the train. A little fog and these brown and green colors which invade the eyes. I came several times to Italy and, each time I am filled with wonder by the landscapes. Here, it is the Arno river which crosses the town of Florence. With far away, the green on the hills... Soon, images of the city.
