The TONS

Autrefois, les radeliers de la Durance transportaient par flottage les grumes de bois nécessaires à la construction des maisons des cités provençales et à la construction navale de la Marine Royale notamment pour les chantiers de Toulon et de Marseille. Il leur fallait plusieurs jours pour rallier la Provence depuis les Hautes-Alpes, debouts sur les radeaux, sans autre protection que leur courage et leur détermination. C'étaient souvent des paysans qui trouvaient dans cette activité un complément de revenu.

Aujourd'hui, les radeliers qui veulent perpétuer la mémoire de cette activité disparue depuis plus d'un siècle, passent plusieurs mois pour reconstruire des radeaux selon les techniques de l'époque. Cette année a eu lieu la 22ème reconstitution historique entre l'Argentière la Bessée et Embrun. Mais le niveau de l'eau de la Durance est très bas, à cause de la sècheresse. Hélas, le radeau de tête a heurté des rochers et s'est mis en travers de la rivière au niveau d'Embrun, empêchant la poursuite de l'événement. Pas de blessé, heureusement ! Cet incident rappelle combien cette pratique du flottage du bois sur la Durance était périlleuse.

Formerly, the rafters of the Durance transported by floating the logs necessary for the construction of the houses of the Provençal cities and the naval construction of the Royal Navy in particular for the sites of Toulon and Marseille. It took them several days to reach Provence from the Hautes-Alpes, standing on the rafts, with no other protection than their determination. They were often peasants who found in this activity a supplement of income. Today, the rafters who want to perpetuate the memory of this activity, which disappeared for more than a century, spend several months rebuilding rafts using the techniques of the time.

LOVE, only 4 letters: to me

Love is the best word I know and the hardest word to actually achieve.

i see you...

giving you the bird

Over the hills and far away

Hey lady, you got the love I need

Maybe more than enough

Oh darling, darling, darling

Walk a while with me

Ohh, you've got so much, so much, so much

Many have I loved, and many times been bitten

Many times I've gazed along the open road

Many times I've lied, and many times I've listened

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know

I want to thank all of you for your wonderful comments and favorites. I very much appreciate your time and support. I am sending lots of XOXO's to you all.

The only opportunity that I had to shoot Southern Pacific's short lived fuel tender, the SP #700 was at the W. Colton fuel rack. Seen here next to a trio of visiting Union Pacific SD40-2's in January of 1987.
