Undoubtedly, the springs have some time of the season only the name. After several days of heat wave in Finland (almost 30°C!), it is an autumn time(weather) which took over with rain and light goes away.
Then today, return of more normal conditions, with classic temperatures for the end of May. But mosquitoes, them, took advantage of the blow of heat and are already there...

Winter spoils us this year with several snow events, even into the Cotentin! If it makes travel difficult sometimes, it's an opportunity to rediscover the landscape in winter moods as here at Vauville cove in Hague.

At the end of the year, the race began gifts for many of us, but faced with abundant opportunities, not always easy to find "THE" good idea.
I therefore suggest Green diary 2010 published by Cres Editions, which takes you to walk in the heart of French regional parks throughout the year. At number of 45, the NRP as they are often called, are a set of landscapes and varied eco-systems, ranging from Camargue ponds, Guyana, Volcanoes of Auvergne, Martinique and so on.
You can find some of my pictures illustrating the Regional Natural Park of Cotentin and Bessin.
Realized In partnership with the federation of regional parks and printed on FSC certified paper (which guarantees that the paper comes from sustainably managed forests), part of the sale price is returned for action to protect the nature.
Available in all good bookstores or ordered some clicks on the canvas.

Last day of November, and blow wind on the Cotentin, but something less common, full north this time. 17h, the Gatteville lighthouse comes alive and starts its flash, it will be the only ray of light all day ... A cloud darker than the other passes over the giant rock, like to come take it ...

Located in swedish lapland, Sarek national parc(which celebrates his centenary this year!) is one of the wildest places in Europe. With an area of almost 2000km², space doesn't seem to find others limits than those of silence...boundless! Late september, autumn colors were at the top, fantastic!

An original size for this landscape full of warm nuances. This evening there - on May 14th in Vaala area, 64°50 N - it is 11:15 pm, and light still very present, although the sun is lying for quite a while. It is the magic of the high latitudes where the beautiful lights go on a little more than somewhere else... A delight for the photographer.

La Hague, with the cliffs of the ripped coast, is the Mecca for whom like great landscapes... This small handle, which carries the name of " round bottom " is separated only by the "côte soufflée"(the coast blown) headland of by that of Ecalgrain bay, bigger, more accessible and more known then. The good weather is unusual here in winter, and it is the opportunity to seize atmospheres restful, on this coast usually beaten by winds.
