This is a place where birds are fed during the winter. There are also small rodents that eat seeds dropped by birds.
I had a dream about chasing castles and later that day my GPS routed me the wrong way right past this little compound that looks a lot like a castle in the middle of Brussels by Saint Lambert church.
How to deal with jet lag?
All the journals and literature will tell you varying do's and don'ts of flying.
No alcohol / more water / no coffee / tablets / sleep patterns blah blah.
I give you my method.
Fly and enjoy. Fuel as you see fit. Just take a tripod.
A tripod you ask? How does that combat jet lag? Well, when you wake at an ungodly hour pull the curtains wide and make the most of the hour and light that you may rarely see and with tripod, capture the dawn lights and scenery. Move quickly. The light doesn't stand still. The tripod assists with camera steadiness and crisp, sharp images that you may not achieve with just hand-held.
How does that deal with the jet lag or headaches, you ask?
I promise, that whilst you work away, feasting on the dawn light, street lighting and motion trails, you will forget how tired you may be or that your head hurt earlier. Once daylight delivers the day and you review all the images you shot, the feel good factor will hang around.
While visiting the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois earlier this month, I noticed quite a few peacocks that were strolling around the grounds of the zoo, free to roam where they wanted. They didn't extend their feathers upright, but rather just let them drag behind them. I caught this shot of the peacock's plumage from a low point of view as it laid on the ground, and I was intrigued by how metallic it looked in the sunlight.
É nos dias de chuva que as fadas dançam com as árvores...
It is on rainy days that the fairies dance with the trees...
C'est une double exposition d'une souche - qui se trouve dans un parc genevois - que je photographie au fil de l'année. Ce qui m'intéresse c'est de créer des images qui me font rêver tout en me surprenant. J'espère avoir réussi un peu ici.
Il est rare de voir la neige rester à Genève. Elle a tenu 1 jour 1/2. puis la magie avait disparu. J'ai pris cette photo depuis ma fenêtre. Elle me plaît par son graphisme et le fait que l'arbre du milieu soit devenu méconnaissable.
Em Colmar, um Natal muito triste e desafiador para mim.
In Colmar, a very sad and challenging Christmas for me.
Esta cascata só aparece quando chove mesmo muito.
This waterfall only appears when it rains a lot.
Back to my hometown after 1 month in Bali. The sky reminds me of the spectacular sunsets there during the monsoon. In a certain way it's an attempt to mix these two places by the magic of double exposure - here a place in Geneva with a general on his horse and the display of a flower shop just 20m away which reminded me of the luxurious vegetation in Bali and the work of the local carvers.

Après avoir visité l'exposition "Lost in Camargue" de Romain Boutillier, je suis allé chercher le Yashica dans le coffre de la voiture et j'ai joué moi aussi à l'homme perdu dans la Camargue :-)
Quelques photos argentiques donc comme un "hommage" modestement à cette belle exposition.

After visiting Romain Boutillier's "Lost in Camargue" exhibition, I went to get the Yashica from the back of the car and played the role of the man lost in Camargue :-)
A few argentic photos here as a modest "tribute" to this beautiful exhibition.

Ancient pyramids are important and stimulating to the imagination gateways in so many ways. These monumental structures served as more than just tombs; they were gateways to eternity - magical machines designed to ensure a prosperous afterlife for their occupants. There is also a theory, that the relative positions of the three main pyramids mirror the layout of the three stars in Orion's Belt as they appeared around 10,000 BC. Therefore they even can be a high-tech gateway to the distant stars...
For us, they are a remarkable gateway to ancient lifestyle, believings, and history.
We were walking on the sea ice. The landscape was beautiful, but the light was way too bright for photographing against direct sunlight even when the sun was starting to set. Luckily there was a small island with trees and I got this shot when the sun went behind it. It almost looks like the forest is on fire and there's smoke on the sky.
Going through a bookstore at Geneva railway station. I first took a picture of a man displayed on the cover of a book, I then looked for the matching 2nd picture : a turning book display some 2 meters away. I was working on the head made of books with leonardo.ai and wanted to try it with my trusty Nikon Z30.
Soccer restarted last week with Steve’s elder grandson playing in a friendly game for his Surf Academy team. He is quite pleased with himself as he scored his first header of his soccer career. After the match, he self-assessed himself as the best player on his team. One thing is for sure, the boy does not lack confidence.

It was during our lunch. We were sitting close to the the pool. As I preferred not to have recognizable faces on my photo, I waited a while till I got the best moment. Anyway, I don't really understand why you stay in a pool when there's such a beach below. But anyway, it's a nice place called Single Fin and the food is excellent.
Although I am a simple/ordinary photographer with simple photography, yet I have a lot of pleasure in and with the AM3 photo group 3 times a week. That is why these old cameras photo from a museum with photo -shoped figures, edited to express how AM3 feels like a "communuty" for me.
The Japanese Coming of Age Day Ceremony is held on the second Monday of January every year to celebrate those who have reached the legal age of adulthood between April 2nd of the prior year and April 1st of the current year. The ceremony is not sponsored by the Japanese government but is held by each municipality independently. The age of adulthood was lowered from 20 to 18 in April 2022, but some municipalities continue to set the age eligible for participating in the Ceremony at 20, while others have lowered it to 18. The ceremony has been held since time immemorial in Japan, with boys marking their transition to adulthood when they were around 15 and girls celebrating their coming of age when they turned 13 or so. Currently, most places in Japan hold the ceremony either on that Monday or one day earlier on the Sunday. I love this scene of a happy, family moment.
This small body of water is only 1 inch deep but is sometimes filled with dozens of tadpoles. As summer arrives, the water evaporates and the tadpoles are gone until next year.
Location: Buttle Lake, Strathcona Park, Vancouver Island.

The Fort of Fenestrelle, known as "The Great Piedmontese Wall", has a total surface area of 1,350,000 m² and stretches for over 3 kilometers along a difference in height of about 635 meters. The longest of its internal stairs is called the "covered staircase", consisting of about 4,000 steps, 2.10 meters wide and 2.35 meters high, with walls and a vaulted arch 2 meters thick. This staircase connects the entire fortress from the valleys to the top. Originally designed for mules, it has steps that are very uncomfortable for people but allowed the soldiers stationed in the forts to receive ammunition and food. The rations, prepared in the kitchen down the valley, consisted of 7 ounces of black bread in a mess tin with broth made from scraps, red beets and leftover meat.

The forest conceals elves, orcs, and masche within its mist... The Masche are creatures from Piedmontese folklore, resembling witches or malevolent spirits. Described as old and ugly women with claws and wings, the Masche are said to inhabit the mountainous areas of Piedmont. It is said that they possess magical powers and can transform into animals or objects to hide or deceive people. Legends of the Masche are deeply rooted in the popular culture of Piedmont and have contributed to creating an atmosphere of mystery and fear around the mountainous regions of the area.
It's over 15 degrees below zero and the water is running in the rapids. This creates fog, which can be seen very clearly when photographed against the backlight.
Après avoir profité du jardin au printemps, la rainette s'est installée dans la véranda pour sans doute passer l'hiver. Elle doit hiberner dans l'une des nombreuses plantes mises à l'abri du froid.
Photo réalisée en novembre 2023.
Prepare to hibernate
After enjoying the garden in spring, the tree frog settled in the veranda to undoubtedly spend the winter. It must hibernate in one of the many plants sheltered from the cold.

This was my last day in Morocco. It was also my birthday and I spent the afternoon watching the sea and the sky with a friend. This photo is one of a series, waiting for the sunset. The pole, strings and rags seemed to be dancing in the evening light. It felt like wonderland .
It's called Ridge Walk, at Ubud Bali. It is very easy and not too long, It was very hot (december) but not too steep. I tried to express my feelings about the wild vegetation which was between me and the landscape. Turning around gave me some depth in the picture. Looking at the picture I remember Rudolf Steiner's remark on the the color "green", saying that it is not a color but mere chlorphyll (lol). I must admit that there is still something about it when you are in such a luxurious vegetation.
Num dia de tempestade, o vento levava os pensamentos...
On a stormy day, the wind carried away the thoughts...
It's by chance. Sitting in a warung (a restaurant), I saw this swing coming into the picture and pulled the trigger. The straw construction in the foreground is heart shaped in order to permit selfies, as in many other places in Bali in order to satisfy the nnarcissic needs of the tourists .

The installation symbolizes the strong connection between Montreal,
its citizens and its visitors.
Bali, en route to Amed. At one moment we took a road to get a look on a small beach from above, but I preferred these trees because of their twigs like parts of a spider's web.
Um bosque ameaçado todos os anos, no verão, pelos incêndios.
Every year, in summer, the forest is threatened by fires.
A snapshot in time freezing Autumn Colours around a Boat house by the Lake. On my first ever visit to The Lake District, I stumbled upon this boat house across the road. To my surprise I had the whole space to myself to capture the scene. The daylight was quite flat however in retrospect that made the Autumn Colours in the background very prominent.
