Sleeping lil' snail


(Cute. Shh, don't wake him up...)

A room with view on the mountains


Landscape scenery from the South of France, somewhere on the road between the villages of Lasserre and Saint-Lizier in Midi-Pyrénées, moments before the evening.

After picking up the chestnuts


Harvesting is done, the chestnuts have all been picked up, it's time to go back home and cook them the way you like them. Roast chestnuts, yummy... "Chauds les marrons, chauds!"

Saint-Lizier, its cathedral. France (Midi-Pyrénées).


It's a beautiful warm day of Autumn in the South of France today, there is no need for a chunky sweater and that's a good thing I like. The building you see on the right side of this image is the top of the cathedral of Saint-Lizier seen from the court of the Palace of the Prince-Bishop. Mmm... lovely.

While we were picking up chestnuts


Fall is there, friends and I were harvesting, picking up some chestnuts, itchy hands now... Meanwhile, Humphrey was kind of a well-behaved (what a miracle?) puppy. Autumn, a nice season for photography.

The bird who took up wearing flares


Armand is feeding the domesticated pigeon. A beautiful encounter between man and bird...

Home or gift shop?



So, home or gift shop? Both...

Yep, that's right, carefully look at the hanging sign on the right, it says "öppet" (open). The (gift) shopkeepers are living right there and their little store is... right there too, definitively a cute shop selling souvenirs for tourists and nice handmade stuff. Living and working in the same place, how cool is this (?). And the house is, let's say, quite cute and beautiful. We are here in Sweden, on one of these little islands along the south west coast.

The endless march of the little snail

"Fuhhh fuhhh come on, I'm almost there...".
The cool thing with snails is that you've got (almost) all the time in the world to adjust your lens and camera settings. And how cool is that to carry your home... Nomadic lifestyle!

The swirly ballet of the jellyfishes

Jellyfishes, you know how dangerous some of them can be and it's just so magic to see them evolving while being safe behind the glass, just a few inches away. There's some classical music missing right now uh... Can you see them dancing? ;-)

I'm satisfied of the image that came out despite shooting behind the glass, I'm glad there are no reflection. Note to myself for next time: take a picture of the name grrr...

Sweden, not your typical house architecture

One of the things that you want to bring back home when you visit Sweden... their homes! We all agreed on that during that trip but unfortunately... the car trunk was too small, hehe. The Swedes seem to appreciate wood more than any other raw material, lovely.

Yet another (beautiful) Swedish landscape

I just can't get enough of them. Sweden has numerous beautiful places, I can't remember the name of that one but it surely is awesome. When you visit Sweden, all you want to do is stay there forever or bring back home everything with you, including dream house design and architecture. Green green green...
