The day before winter solstice

The day before winter solstice

Wakefield, Quebec – At sunset

Yesterday was the day before winter solstice: the shortest day of winter. It was also Saturday and it was super sunny. We had the plan to go to one of our favorite places in the Ottawa-Gatineau area: the little and cute village of Wakefield along the Gatineau River. I can’t agree more with the description of the village on its official website: « Nestled in a postcard-perfect setting along the Gatineau River, the bilingual village of Wakefield possesses a friendly and funky atmosphere created by its diverse residents and nurtured by its surroundings. Whether you’re into nature, art, music, outdoor adventure, shopping, or fine food, you’ll fall in love with this place. Incredibly, this peaceful utopia is a mere 20 minutes drive from downtown Ottawa ». And even if yesterday was cold, being in Wakefield makes you feel warmer. There was this cozy pre-Christmas ambiance, with beautiful lights. What a nice moment for a walk in the snow, a little coffee and delicious « brie and pear with pineapple schutney on rye bread ». Thank you Wakefield for being awesome and just 20 minutes away from my house. I will see you next year !

  • 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.
