The empty submarine base, Lorient - 2001

Since 2nd world war, this place sheltered German and later French classical submarines as well as their construction. Thousands of people worked or lived there as soldiers or workers. I was one of them during summer time and still get in mind the very strange atmosphere of the submarine totally nuded of all the stuff inside for its regular maintenance, laying in the waterless dock above my head lighted by neons in the dust night. Today, this place is becoming a sea sail racing base and the Tabarly Academy will open doors soon.

Goodbye the iron shark.
