Rocky peak (Haute-Corse, France, 2016): There's nothing extraordinary about this photo, but I liked this rocky peak with its clouds. A memory of my trip to Corsica on the road between Bastia and Calvi.
The Seine in flood (Paris, France, 2018): You really have to be there when the Sein floods to see the effect. It will take some time to rest again on this hammock.
The Raven (Taal Lake, Philippines, 2017): A slightly gloomy photo with this raven on this cross. I took it on the back of a horse on my way to see the volcano at Taal Lake.
Sunset (Wadi Rum, Jordan, 2018): At Wadi Rum, I wanted to take night photos because there was no extraneous light. I had the tripod and the remote shutter release. But the battery was dead. I was so angry that it ‘blinded’ me that I didn't think to use the self-timer and leave the mirror open to avoid camera shake.
Le Moulin (St-Mitre-Les-Remparts, France, 2017): This old mill is a reminder of Provence's windmill past.
An abandoned boat (Etang-de-Berre, France, 2017): An old barque on the Etang de Berre. This pond was a great fishing ground for many years. But the construction of the Saint-Chamas hydroelectric power station has upset the ecosystem of Europe's largest natural lake. A saltwater pond that has softened in some areas. There were seahorses when I swam there in the 1970s.
Face to Face (Normandy, France, 2018): A beautiful alignment of the Cross and the Lighthouse. The perspective makes the Cross seem higher. It's also a reminder that the lighthouse prevents boats from smashing into the rocks, with the former victims symbolised by the Cross.
Pontoon (Guadeloupe, France, 2016): Another reminder of the past. This pontoon must have known its glory days, but only the feet remain, but for how much longer.
Trombone on Fire (London, United Kingdom, 2018): A surprise under a bridge in London. It was the 1st time I'd seen this kind of attraction. I had to wait a long time to see the flame in the photo.
Trompe l'oeil (Meaux, France, 2017): I was riding my motorbike and I hesitated as I passed because I didn't understand. In the end, it was a trompe l'oeil.
The Catacombs (Paris, France, 2017): I have very fond memories of visiting the Catacombs of Paris with my Indian friend Saiprasad.
Flight (, Maldives, 2011): A seaplane taking off in the evening. The light was gorgeous and deserved this photo. It's a departure into the unknown.
The bird (South Corsica, France, 2015): A bird that waits and watches over the sea in search of its meal. With the sun setting, it's just a shadow.
The River (Warsaw, Poland, 2018): A photo to remind me of my walks on the outskirts of Warsaw. I love walking in wooded areas without many people around.
Eiffel Tower (Paris, France, 2017): Too many photos show the Eiffel Tower. This shot highlights its height and metal profile.
The Smile (Quezon-City, Philippines, 2017): She saw me taking her photo and immediately put her hand up and opened her fingers. That's what the Philippines are all about, with that instant smile.
The Kiss (Paris, France, 2017): When I took this photo, I didn't realise they were homosexuals. At least this watch shows the love they have for each other.
The Pilot (Maldives, Maldives, 2011): The memory of my seaplane trip. Taking off and landing a seaplane is more complicated than taking off an airliner.
The Blockhaus (Normandy, France, 2018): This is what the Germans saw from Pointe du Hoc. It was located between Utah Beach (to the west) and Omaha Beach (to the east).
The Armed Child (Haute-Corse, France, 2016): A quick reminder of the FLNC (Corsican National Liberation Front).
The Wait (Malapascua, Philippines, 2017): Waiting before the dive to see the majestic thresher sharks.
Le Régal (Warsaw, Poland, 2018): These sparrows really liked the meringues. They flew around all the time trying to get hold of the little pieces.
The Boat (Malapascua, Philippines, 2017): A simple boat that invites you to travel. It may be fragile, but it's enough to get you from island to island.
The Fine Sand (Coron, Philippines, 2020): A picture to dream about, with this turquoise sea and these bangkas, a kind of trimaran of all sizes.

I've embellished these photos with bits of poetry I've gathered from the Internet or my own, but I'm a long way from what my friends Alain and André can write. In this way, I'd like to give photography a semblance of life.
