0Welcome
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 I’ll enjoy your time spent here.

Monterey Day One
In the middle of the Canadian winter I was sent to the city of Monterey in California. Monterey is mainly known for its big aquarium and its annual jazz festival, but after spending three days there I can say this little Pacific Coast city is certainly one of the best places to be in January. Everyday after work I used the few hours I had before the night to explore the area. My first stop was at the Carmel Mission, which is a Roman Catholic mission church from 1771. It is one of the landmarks of California where you can feel the past history of the country. The beautiful place, which is also a museum, is in superb shape. As the sunlight was going down the shadows created a very nice atmosphere. I left to drive along the coast on the 11-Mile Drive, a semi-private road offering superb lookouts. I stopped at « Lone Cypress » to photograph this lonely tree on his rock as the sun was slowly disappearing.
Au milieu de l’hiver canadien, j’ai été envoyé dans la ville de Monterey en Californie. Monterey est principalement connue pour son grand aquarium et son festival de jazz mais je dois dire après y avoir passé trois jours, que c’est aussi le parfait endroit pour un mois de janvier. Tous les jours après le travail j’ai pu consacrer quelques heures à l’exploration des environs avant que la nuit tombe. Ma première journée fut consacrée à la mission de Carmel. C’est une des 21 missions que des Espagnols de l’ordre des franciscains fondèrent entre 1769 et 1823 en Californie. L’endroit qui habite aussi un petit musée respire l’Histoire et est superbement conservé. Alors que le soleil descendait les ombres et les teintes ont formé une ambiance délicieuse sur cet edifice de 1771. Je pris ensuite la direction de la route côtière « 11-Mile Drive »: une route semi-privée qui offre de superbes points de vue sur la mer. Mon principal arrêt fut à « Lone Cypress » pour photographier ce cyprès seul sur son rocher alors que le soleil se couchait.
See you soon for – A bientôt pour « Monterey Day Two ».
