A quick stop on the West Coast

Two days in San Francisco

Two weeks ago, my boss asked me if I could go spend a few days on the west coast to meet some partners. I like to travel and the west coast is definitely a place I would love to explore more. The trip started with a couple of days in San Francisco. My time during the day was booked for my work, but I had some hours in the evening to explore the city a little bit. Arriving from Ottawa I could not complain about the 20°C and the sweet sunny sky of that end of November. I had a charming room called « Robin Williams » with a nice Underwood typewriter on my desk (the ones who watched House of Card will probably get the reference). My first reaction was to go see the ocean along the docks. The fresh air of the sea and the beautiful sunset mixed with the lights of the city were just worth the long trip. Yes, San Francisco is about the ocean, but it is also about the architecture and the street art. I tried to capture a part of the ambiance of the unique west coast city. The trip was a little bit too short but I left San Francisco to meet Seattle, so the departure was not too painful.

Il y a deux semaines, mon chef m’a demandé si je pouvais aller passer quelques jours sur la côte ouest pour rencontrer des partenaires. J’aime voyager et la côte ouest est définitivement un endroit que je souhaite explorer davantage. Le voyage commença par deux journées à San francisco. Mes journées étant réservées au travail j’ai tout de même pu passer quelques heures de mes soirées à arpenter un peu la ville. Arrivant d’Ottawa je ne pouvais qu’apprécier les 20°C et le doux soleil de cette fin de novembre. Pour couronner le tout je découvris une charmante chambre nommée « Robin Williams » avec une jolie machine à écrire de marque Underwood sur le bureau (ceux qui ont suivi House of Card comprendront la référence). Ma première réaction fut d’aller voir l’océan le long des docks. L’air frais de la mer et le beau coucher de soleil mélangé aux couleurs de la ville valaient à eux seuls la longue journée de voyage. Oui San Francisco est une ville de la mer mais c’est aussi une ville d’architecture et d’art urbain. J’ai essayé en peu de temps de capturer une partie de l’ambiance de cette ville unique. Le passage était un peu trop court mais la suite du voyage m’envoyait découvrir Seattle, pour cette raison le départ ne fut pas trop pénible.

  • Welcome

    Hello dear visitor, welcome to my photography world. I am a radio frequency engineer who moved from France to experience a new life in Canada. Living far from my friends and family, traveling for fun and for work I created this blog and website to share a bit of my life with them and everyone else interested in photography. I grew up in front of the Atlantic Ocean in the south of the beautiful region of Brittany. As a passionate photographer, I try to catch the best of each moment from the life in the streets to the changing colors of nature. Photography has almost always been part of my life and helps me to understand and remember the beauty of our world. I hope you’ll enjoy your time spent here.
