La cité des Électriciens est construite par la Compagnie des mines de Bruay entre 1856 et 1861 pour loger les familles des mineurs travaillant à la fosse n°1. La Compagnie des mines a choisi de grands savants ayant fait des découvertes en matière d’électricité pour nommer les rues de la cité : Ampère, Marconi, Volta, Edison, Coulomb, Franklin, Laplace, Faraday, Branly et Gramme, d’où son nom d’usage « cité des Électriciens ».
Il s’agit de la plus ancienne cité minière subsistant dans le Bassin minier du Pas-de-Calais. Elle constitue une véritable charnière dans l’histoire de l’habitat ouvrier. Elle témoigne en effet de la progressive évolution de l’habitat ouvrier au XIXe siècle, et est un exemple exceptionnel de l’architecture des premiers corons.
Sa configuration n’a pas changé depuis sa construction. Elle comprend cinq barreaux parallèles à la rue Anatole France et deux barreaux perpendiculaires. La conservation des carins (dépendances) et des voyettes (ruelles) lui a permis de garder son intégrité.
En 2008, la cité est progressivement vidée de ses habitants et laissée à l’abandon depuis l’arrêt de l’activité minière à Bruay-La-Buissière (1979). Elle accueille alors une première intervention artistique de la compagnie marseillaise Les Pas Perdus. La compagnie invite à changer de regard sur cet élément du patrimoine minier, en plongeant la cité dans un univers décalé et poétique avec l’aide des habitants, véritables acteurs de la transformation de leur environnement. À leur suite, des artistes tels que Gilles Bruni – avec Campement – ou François Andès – avec Le singe qui lèche – y ont mené des expérimentations artistiques jusqu’au démarrage effectif des travaux de réhabilitation en 2013.
Le projet de La Cité des Électriciens a été cofinancé par l’Union européenne avec le Fonds européen de développement régional à hauteur de 2 199 300 €.
Réhabilitée par l’Agence d’architecture Philippe Prost associée à l’agence de paysagisme FORR, aux muséographes de l’agence Du&Ma et à Villar+Vera pour la signalétique, la Cité des Électriciens est un exemple de la compatibilité entre patrimoine bâti et développement durable. En conservant l’existant, en lui affectant de nouveaux usages, le projet préserve et adapte la Cité aux nouveaux modes d’habiter comme aux problématiques environnementales. Par ailleurs, trois barreaux restent la propriété de Maisons & Cités (bailleur social) qui les a rénovés en dix logements sociaux, permettant de maintenir l’usage initial de la cité.
Inscrite aux Monuments Historiques en 2009, la cité devient en 2012 l’un des cinq grands sites miniers dans le cadre de l’inscription du Bassin Minier sur la liste du Patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO au titre de Paysage culturel, évolutif et vivant. Tous ces sites ont la spécificité d’incarner à la fois l’histoire et l’avenir du territoire. Ils ont ainsi vocation à être un levier de renouveau dans les lieux même où l’industrie charbonnière vécut ses heures de gloire.
La Cité des Électriciens est un lieu dans lequel patrimoine, culture et tourisme sont étroitement liés. Entre interprétation du patrimoine minier, créations artistiques, jardins potagers et gîtes urbains, à la fois lieu de mémoire et lieu de vie, la Cité se distingue par ce caractère éclectique et pluridisciplinaire. Elle s’attache aussi à véhiculer des valeurs d’éducation participative, de partage, d’implication des habitants.
Ouvert sur la ville comme sur l’espace agricole, le site dans son ensemble invite à imaginer l’avenir d’un territoire.

It is time to post my annual review of my year in photos. I have been fortunate to have visited quite a number of locations throughout the United States in 2015 including some first time visits. A full chronicle of my travels along with some of my favorite images can be found on my website at lensaltiel.com/blog/3mqazhc4ls2fwc7dfxdkeokv87ixqh
This photo is of Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park in May. It was the first time I have visited the Tetons when snow covered Mount Moran.
I would be remiss if I didn't thank all of you for your support of my photography. Your visits, likes and comments keep me going and is much appreciated. The photos that I post year are all featured on my blog which has been a love of mine for the last four and a half years.

In about six weeks or so, I will be standing in this spot looking at one of the coolest landscapes in the southwest, namely Arches National Park. I never tire of the Moab area, having visited it more times than any other location in the west. The arches and rock formations of this great park are a magnet for me. Of all of the arches in the park that I have visited (there are around 4,000 of them, and, no, I have only seen a small fraction of them), Double Arch is my favorite. I love looking at this unique formation and wonder how the arches were formed in the sandstone. So, you must be asking yourself where the arches are in this photo. The answer is nowhere. When you climb up under the arches and look toward the parking lot, this is the view you see. It stands on its own, and I felt it deserved its own photo without its namesake arches.
It is often hard to explain the landscape of the Badlands. I had seen photos of it over the years, but it wasn't until I set foot in this national park that I truly saw it. The diversity of rock formations range from jagged peaks to erosion-carved rock. The park has one main road that runs 31 miles from end-to-end. Every curve in the road brings you to a different type of scene. The road follows a portion of the famed 100-mile "Wall" that acts as the spine of the park. If you were driving along Interstate 90 in South Dakota, you drive somewhat parallel to the Wall, but you would never know it because the landscape is relatively flat. I am sure many don't realize that if they headed south, they would be seeing a landscape that they might think was on another planet.
In about a month from today, I will be headed back to the majestic Canadian Rockies. No matter how many times I visit there, I always want to go back. June is a special time of the year for visiting and photographing. There is usually lots of snow left on the mountain peaks and there may also be a thin layer of ice on the lakes. The wildlife seems more plentiful during the month and there are sometimes babies to be seen. Lastly, the summer crowds are yet to make their way to this popular vacation destination.
Whenever I have an approaching trip, I start reviewing my photos from previous trips to see what I may have missed. I also spend some time looking at other photographers works to see what I may have missed or maybe a different way to look at a scene. In any case, I am starting to get quite excited about my trip to Banff, as it is my number one destination of all of the places I have been.
This photo of Herbert Lake is from my last trip there. All you have to do to get this shot is to wake up very early, hope that the weather cooperates, drive the fabulous Icefields Parkway to the lake, park on the shoulder of the road, get out of the car, and compose and take the shot.

i have a set of these.
for this one, and a couple of the others, i must admit that the digital won against the film. but that is probably just user error ;)

Next month, I will be revisiting the Palouse and its amazing landscape. I have been there once before in early June when the rolling landscape was a carpet of green and absolutely fell in love with it. The area has become a mecca for landscape photographers in recent years. The Palouse covers approximately 4,000 square miles in eastern Washington, western Idaho and a small portion of northeastern Oregon, which is slightly smaller than my home state of Connecticut. It is tough to truly measure as there are no signs or boundaries. The best way to determine whether you are in the Palouse is to use your eyes. There is a unique look to the landscape.
That being said, I have seen photos of the Palouse during harvest time when the landscape has changed from green to harvest brown and I am excited that I might be able to see it during that time. Of course, predicting the time of the harvest is akin to timing a visit to see fall foliage. It always depends on many things, especially the weather that year. I will keep my fingers crossed.
JUST PRACTICING FOR THE NEW FLICKR. LOL NOW SERIOUSLY IF YOU HHAVE NOT YET VIEWED AND TRIED TO USE THE BETA VERSION OF THE NEW PHOTO DISPLAY PAGE, DO SO NOW. sEE ALL THE THINGS YOU CANNOT SEE OR DO. DO YOU SEE GROUP ICONS, PROBABLY NEVER WILL AGAIN. DO YOU SEE ADMIN. INVITES, PROBABLY NEVER WILL AGAIN. . ENJOY YOUR DAY, YOUR LIFE MAY BE CHANGING FOR GOOD REAL SOON.
While driving to Acadia after our Maine Photo Tour, my buddy Jeff Clow did what he does best to find the off-the-beaten-track spots. He said to me, "Why don't you turn down this unpaved road and find out if there is anything there worth shooting?" Usually when he says that, the payoff is terrific. This was the case as we drove a little ways down the road. The colors of the foliage were on full display very quickly. We had luckily timed our tour with the peak of the Maine foliage season. It was late this year and both we and our tour participants were rewarded for it.
I have lived in New England for over 20 years but had never seen the ground change colors from green to red. Trees and bushes yes, ground no. We found out later that this was a huge blueberry field and blueberry plants change color with the season (who knew?). In any case, the colors just popped for us even though the ground and trees were in the shade due to the cloud cover. Maybe I should have titled this post "Blueberry Fields Forever?"

Pouwhenua or pou whenua (land post), are carved wooden posts used by Māori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. They are generally artistically and elaborately carved and can be found throughout New Zealand. Much like totem poles, pou whenua tell a story. They are significant to the Māori people, representing their contributions to the cultural heritage of New Zealand. They acknowledge the association between the people (tāngata) and the land (whenua). Specifically, they reflect the relationship between the ancestors, environment, and the reputation or standing of the tangata whenua. The Pouwhenua is also a long-handled fighting staff with a club-like broad head for striking. R_26491

Late evening on hot and humid August evening in Nebraska. Warnings popped up about an hour before this storm was even visible to the eye over the horizon at sunset.
Spectacular Colors emitting from this stacked supercell. Cloud to Cloud Lightning shooting off every few seconds made this a storm chasers dreamscape.
Gear in hand that evening I traveled north out of Odessa Nebraska. Now about 2 miles to the east of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was strengthening and moving almost due south, southeast, meaning it was coming right at my location.
It would be a Historic Event to capture! Now remastered to the original color with no enhancements. Enjoy!

January 2020
It has been awhile since I have come back to this set of images.
Original Set of Images can be found here on Flickr
This set of images is and still has been the most stolen set of images I have on the web on several platforms. Literately millions of views with no link back to my work or my photostream. Probably why I haven't revisited this set til now.
Just to let you know, those images were WAY over processed, over saturated etc. Yes I'm guilty. But it was the way I did things back then. I don't anymore.
Every year I go back and edit a few sets of images that deserve to be re-edited or reprocess from raw. I'm also adding several images from this set I didn't share last time around.
Beautiful storm photography from my best of 2014 Collection!

When one thinks of our national parks, the last thing that they think of are places of worship. If you think about it, what better places to build them than in front of the Earth's most beautiful sites? There are two that are in Grand Teton National Park, and this one, the Chapel of the Transfiguration, has the best view of the Tetons. Built in 1925 before the establishment of the national park, this Episcopalian chapel has a view of the Cathedral Group of peaks from both inside and outside the chapel. It was originally built to serve the many dude ranches that were located in the area.
I shot this one evening when the soft light was on full display. This is probably a much better sunrise location, but with the many other stellar sunrise locations, it didn't make my early morning cut. If I were able to spend a longer visit to the park, it would make my sunrise list of locations to shoot.
One of the main requirements to be a successful landscape photographer is to shoot during the golden hours, either at sunrise and sunset. In fact, many magazines will not even consider photos that were taken during other times, no matter how good they are. Even when not publishing, there are certain places that the only way to get a good picture is to shoot during the golden hours. The Grand Canyon is one of those places. Photos shot during those times add depth and definition to the beauty of the canyon. Any other time, photographs are flat with little or no definition because the sun is higher in the sky thus casting very shallow shadows. This shot from Yavapai Point was taken just before sunset.
One of the sights that is associated with Acadia National Park are the "bubbles" that are prominent when visiting Jordan Pond. The Bubbles are the two rounded mountains that probably do not qualify as mountains. The North Bubble measures only 872 feet and the South Bubble is a bit shorter at 766 feet. Regardless of their height, some of the best views of Acadia are from the Bubbles. While they can be seen from many different stops, the best view is from Jordan Pond.
This composition is not the usual one when you see photos of the pond and the Bubbles. Most photos are taken from the south to the middle part of the pond that gives you a more direct view. On this fall morning, I decided to hike toward the northern end of the trail, and got this angle of these cool rocks while showing off the fall colors.

There is a section of Grand Teton National Park that is known as Mormon Row. This area of the park got its name from a group of Mormon settlers that settled into the area from Idaho in the 1890's. Today, only a few buildings from the settlement are left, including two of the most photographed barns in the world built by the Moulton brothers (Thomas and John).
After shooting the more famous of the barns (the Thomas A. Moulton barn), we headed to the John Moulton homestead to shoot some of the buildings there. This stucco house is known as the "Pink House" for its pink color. It was built by John Moulton 30 years after he settled there, replacing the original log cabin that originally housed his family.
After a few weeks of posting photos from the American Southwest, I thought it time to move on to another favorite place today, Alberta. Many visitors to Banff National Park head north to explore the Icefields Parkway and some of the most beautiful landscapes you will ever see. Most of them never get past the Columbia Icefield, where they can walk onto the Athabasca Glacier (it is something that you should do at least once). For those that don't continue, they are missing some prime sights on the parkway the rest of the way to Jasper. The Canadian Rockies are just as beautiful in Jasper National Park as their brethren in Banff. As you drive up this 140-mile road, you see vistas that make you pull over and photograph them, like I did in this photo. Without stopping, one could probably do the drive in about three hours. For photographers like me, it is an all-day affair with a stop seemingly every mile or so.

Sometimes a magical moment happens when least expected that gives you the most memorable event of a trip. A few of us had spent a few hours at Oxbow Bend and the weather did not cooperate at all. Mount Moran was totally socked in, the weather wasn't so hot, and, all in all, it was a morning to forget. My good buddy Jeff Clow suggested that we head to Cattleman's Bridge to see if we could find a bald eagle or two flying above the water. As we all looked up for the eagles, someone spotted some movement down river. There, amid the low-lying mist were quite a number of elk that were crossing the river onto an island. It was so unexpected and one of the coolest moments I have experienced. The fact that I also got some decent photos of the event was a bonus.
This shot was my "unicorn" of the trip. My good friend Chris Nitz has the best description of what a unicorn is to a photographer. In Chris's words, "... the “unicorn” is that single image that makes an entire trip. It is that moment that you compose your photo, click that shutter button, check the LCD and immediately know that you could never take another photo during your trip and be completely happy with what you have." I couldn't say it any better (which is why I stole Chris' words).
Back to the Stone Mill for today's photo. While the attraction for shooting at the mill was light painting, I still wandered off enough times to do some old fashioned night photography with ambient light. This floor was deserted and allowed the light from the buildings on the outside to shine through the windows, giving them a great orange glow. The multiple panes in each window create a great pattern. The pièce de résistance for me were the shadows that were created on the wall from the windows on the other side of the floor.
There are times as a landscape photographer that I shoot way too wide and sometimes miss an important feature of a scene. Sure, the scene is usually in a wide-angle photo, but so are a lot of other details that confuse the viewer's eyes and they miss the important part. That is why I find myself trying very different compositions of the same scene, trying to capture the "right" one. Why not just shoot the "right" one in the beginning? My answer is that you don't always know which composition is the one until you get home and edit the image. All you know is that something in the scene caught your eye and compelled you to want to take the photo.
For this photo, I took probably 25 shots of this abandoned farmhouse in the Palouse. I took wide shots, tight shots and photos from all different angles and heights. It wasn't until I reviewed the images that I discovered what attracted my eye in the first place. It was the shadows of the roof line and how the sunlight came through the openings in the roof that drew my eye to see inside that window. Had I not varied my shooting, I might never have found what inspired me. My advice is to mimic this behavior and you might realize what drove you to take a photo. After all, shooting digital doesn't cost anything but time.
Return to Pemaquid - Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Bristol, Maine
Back from Jeff Clow's Maine Lighthouse and Coast Tour and I have started to look at the photos that I was able to shoot. Other than some stormy weather on the first afternoon, we were blessed with nice weather, although it was a bit cold and windy. Over the next week or two, I will be posting from the trip.
To the surprise of anyone who has been with me in Maine, my first photo is of my favorite lighthouse, Pemaquid Point Light and its famous puddle reflection. Many people have asked if that puddle is real and did I Photoshop a reflection in it. I can state unequivocally that the puddle is there year round (or at least over the course of my 15+ visits). The puddle may be bigger or smaller on each visit depending on the weather. The better question to ask is "Was the wind blowing?" That question is easily answered in that, if there is any decent wind, there will be no reflection. Our group visited the puddle in the late afternoon and the wind was pretty steady. While we got some reflections, the ripples made it barely recognizable. Fortunately, we visited Pemaquid on our last day at sunrise. After shooting from the front and the other side, some of us revisited the puddle, even though the wind was blowing. With a little patience, the wind died off periodically in order to get some still reflection shots.
