La Saône était bien haute en ce jour de mars à Mâcon, et le bas de l'esplananade Lamartine était sous l'eau, c'était un spectacle insolite.

Mais il faisait doux avec un beau soleil après plusieurs jours de pluie. Bref, c'était le temps idéal pour faire un petit tour et admirer la Saône.

High waters in Macon

 

The Saone River was very high in this day of March in Macon, and the bottom of the Lamartine esplananade was under water, it was an unusual sight.

But the weather was mild with a lovely sun after several days of rain. So, it was the perfect time for a walk and admire the Saone river.

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.

  

On est ici à la deuxième cabane Vauban du chemin, il y en a 3 en tout. Datant du 17ème siècle, ces cabanes furent construites sur l'ordre de Vauban (1633 - 1707), architecte militaire de Louis XIV afin de surveiller la mer du haut des falaises de la baie du Mont-Saint-Michel.

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 montée à la Roche de Vergisson offre des points de vue magnifiques sur la Roche de Solutré et le petit village de Vergisson en contrebas.

 

Ici, un écrin de lumière illuminait et mettait en relief ce beau paysage d'automne.
