El castell de Fenís, a la Vall d'Aosta, és impressionant, amb les seves multiples torres i muralles. El fet de estar situat al mig de la plana, i no dalt un cim com altres castell de la zona, fa pensar que el seu paper principal fou administratiu i de prestigi.

=============================
Fenís Castle, in the Aosta Valley, is impressive, with its multiple towers and walls. The fact that it is located in the middle of the plain, and not on top of a peak like other castles in the area, suggests that its main role was administrative and prestigious.

On 24 November 2025 Charlotte Adams made this one into a jigsaw puzzle. You can solve it here if you want: jigidi
A friend sent me an interesting link to a John Oliver segment on Artificial Intelligence and how it is taking over many facets of our lives very quickly. Of course, we could use this for good things like early diagnosis of diseases but most likely we'll use it in ways that discriminate against people and uphold our classist, racist system. It's a lot to be worried about in my opinion.
In addition, it really got me thinking about artificial intelligence like Chat GPT now writing everything from college papers to condolence letters after a mass shooting and mimicking songs, poems, and even photographs. It really got me thinking about what can't or doesn't an AI currently do and so this is what I came up with. This is also from the Snooper set on Saturday at Music Frozen Dancing (The green guy behind the moshers was with this band).
I also think it's pretty counter-intuitive for humans to deliberately put themselves in harm's way just to feel alive (my guess). I have never related to it at all, mainly because I don't enjoy physical pain and bleeding on random strangers or having escalated medical bills or broken camera equipment. But, I do kind of feel like it's a very anti-AI sort of thing to do. AIs probably won't ever be programmed to participate in their own self destruction...what would be the point? And...what exactly is the point again with humans doing this?
Anyway, if you want to watch the John Oliver segment, it's up on youtube:

As with all tigers, the white Bengal tiger's stripes are like fingerprints, with no two tigers having the same pattern. The stripes of the tiger are a pigmentation of the skin; if an individual were to be shaved, its distinctive coat pattern would still be visible.

À mes proches et amis de Charlevoix
LES GRANDS JARDINS
Cette image constitue une exception dans ma pratique photographique. D’ordinaire, mes images ne réfèrent pas à des lieux spécifiques, mais plutôt à des idées, des réflexions philosophiques sur la nature, la vie. Pourtant, cette image et son titre de Grands Jardins désigne un parc national du Québec, parfaitement reconnaissable ici, situé dans la région de Charlevoix.
Pourquoi cette exception ? Parce que les Grands Jardins représente une histoire d’amour pour moi et pour bien d’autres visiteurs et habitants de la région. On s’y sent revivre, reconnecté à notre Terre, le regard porté à l’infini vers une mer de montagnes et de vallées tout en ayant les pieds bien en contrôle pour éviter de piétiner les lichens et autres végétaux de la forêt boréale.
Malgré cette grandeur, la vie s’y fait modeste, fragile, mais touchante. Elle nous incite à de petites attentions pour l’habiter avec respect. En retour, elle nous émeut et nous enveloppe de cette aura de mystère et de beauté que seule une expérience immersive peut nous aider à comprendre, sans pour autant pouvoir la traduire en mots.

To my family and friends in Charlevoix
LES GRANDS JARDINS (meaning The Great Gardens)
This image stands out as an exception in my photographic practice. Ordinarily, my images don’t refer to places, but rather to ideas and philosophical reflections on nature and life. Yet, this image and its title, Grands Jardins, designate a national park in Quebec, perfectly recognizable here, in the Charlevoix region.
Why this exception? Because the Grands Jardins represents a love story for me and for many other visitors and residents of the region. We feel reborn, reconnected to our Earth, our gaze fixed on an infinite sea of mountains and valleys, while keeping our feet firmly in control to avoid trampling the lichens and other plants of the boreal forest.
Despite this grandeur, life there remains modest, fragile, yet touching. It inspires us to pay attention to small things and to inhabit it with respect. In turn, it moves us and envelops us in this aura of mystery and beauty that only an immersive experience can help us understand, without being able to translate it into words.
