Everyone loves spring.

The weather starts to warm, the birds start to sing, kittens and puppies are everywhere. Leaves come out and flowers bloom.

 

Beautiful spring in Finland.

House on the Ocean on road 132 on my way to the beautiful Gaspésie.

Canon 6D - waking up in Gaspesie near the marina this winter.

Sun vs Clouds - The Battle. Not much snow and warm temperatures at Percé this winter.

Dernière halte dans l'escalier escarpé montant à Fourvière, j'étais rouge en arrivant en haut de cet escalier ! La vue extraordinaire sur le vieux Lyon et sur la cathédrale Saint-Jean qui se dégage encore un peu plus m'a bien récompensé de l'effort.

 

NB : J'ai hésité à choisir entre cette photo et la première de la montée (CF commentaire en dessous) qui montrent chacune l'escalier qu'il a fallu gravir. Mais pour finir, je les ai mises chacune en ligne sur Flickr, car je trouve qu'elles le valent toutes les deux.

This view of the Vieux Lyon and Saint John cathedral filled me with joy

 

Last pause on the steep stairs rising to Fourvière, i was red when reaching the top of the stairs! The outstanding view of the Vieux Lyon ("old Lyon") and Saint John cathedral, which emerges still more, rewarded me well for the effort.

 

NB: I hesitated to choose between this shot and the first of the rise (see comment below) that each show the stairs I had to climb.

But finally, i got to put each online in Flickr, because i think they are both worth of it.

Long exposure shot of Mary's Shell at sunset shot in autumn / fall 2015. Mary's shell is a steel sculpture / public art on Cleveleys beach near Blackpool in Lancashire, England. It was installed on 25 September 2013. It is entirely exposed at low tide you can climb inside. At high tide only the highest part of the sculpture is visible above the waves. The sculpture is 4.6m tall, 8 m long and weighs 16.5 tonnes and has words from the story "Sea Swallow" etched inside.

  

My Favorite house in Gaspesie. Unfortunately this house was eaten by several cold winters and wind and it's on the floor right now.

La baie du Mont Saint-Michel est un espace privilégié pour les oiseaux.

On y a observé 347 espèces d'oiseaux. Chaque hiver, à la mi-janvier, on y dénombre entre 100 000 et 150 000 oiseaux.

Encore une vue inoubliable du Mont Saint-Michel, cet endroit est un paradis pour les photographes !

On distingue au loin, à gauche du Mont, les falaises de Carolle-Champeaux dans le Cotentin, un autre coin magnifique d'où l'on peut admirer toute la baie du Mont Saint-Michel.

I've been toying around with 4 hours and 20 minutes of data on the Andromeda Galaxy for some time. This is my latest processing attempt. The full description and software used can be found at: www.leisurelyscientist.com/?p=551

Beginning of the trail on Anakena Beach and its 2 ahus.

 

I started the 15.5 km walk at 10:30 in the morning.

 

The hotel owner drove me to the beginning of my walk (Anakena Beach), for R$ 51,00 or US$ 16.08 and her nephew picked me up at the Ahu Te Peu at 3:30 pm for R$ 61.20 or US$ 19.30.

  

Anakena Beach is 16 km from Hanga Roa or the hotel.

 

I was able to do it in 5 hours.
