Le lac d'Hourtin et de Carcans est l'un des plus grands lacs naturels de France. Les habitants de la commune d'Hourtin, au nord, l'appellent le lac d'Hourtin, et les habitants de la commune de Carcans, au sud, l'appellent le lac de Carcans.
Le lac s'étend du nord au sud, parallèlement à la côte de l'océan Atlantique, sur une longueur maximale de 18 km pour une largeur maximale de 5 km, et fait partie des grands lacs landais. Il communique avec l'étang de Lacanau par le canal des Étangs. C'est le plus grand lac naturel d'eau douce de France avec une superficie de 5.800 hectares, égale en toutes saisons. Ses rives dunaires ont été fixées par des plantations de pins au cours du XIXème siècle.

This is the oldest winery in South Africa and was founded by
Simon van der Stel in 1685. I found it of interest that
Napoléon Bonaparte, living in France, enjoyed and imported wine made by a Dutchman, living in South Africa.

This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. All the sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, including the flowers. The flowers are vintage French metal sequins from the 1930s in this bauble, so they are rare. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flower sequins until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
First attempt at Pinhole photography. I messed up in the developing tank. I didn't have enough developer so the bottom has that white area. DIY camera, 6x9 film. 0.3mm Pinhole. Lens is about about 1-1/2 inch (4 cm) from film. If I figure out a way to move the lens a little further away from the film, I can get rid of that vignetting ring. But that ring looks kinda cool.

A young woman displays a self made Zapatista pin while she takes part of one of the meetings that the EZLN's Delegado Zero held in the city of Chetumal as part of a project called "La Otra Campaña".
The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN) is an armed revolutionary group based in Chiapas, one of the poorest states of Mexico. Their social base is mostly indigenous but they have supporters in urban areas as well as an international web of support.
