For this photo the day I chose the Old Emosson Lake (2205 meters alt.), where I made a little trip last summer in the Swiss Alps. Since the time, I begin to miss the mountain, and I’m looking forward to go back there and breathe the fresh air or walks with the family. Come on, more than a few days of patience before preparing the bags, and I am finally in the valley on the other side of that mountain, french side this time …

Located in the heart of the forest of Rambouillet in the Yvelines, in less than an hour from Paris, the Rambouillet area is a wildlife park managed by the french National Forest Office (ONF) where you can observe animals reared in semi freedom: the aurochs, deer, fawns. Upon entering the heart of 180 hectares of wilderness you can, if you take the trouble to move quietly and against the wind not to be identified, approached the nearest deer crossing or a herd of wild boars. Of course, you should keep in mind that these animals wild, calm behavior and attitude are responsible for setting this place where you will be in direct contact with Nature.

The Espace Rambouillet also offers educational tours for young people (and their parents ;) ), for example by proposing to identify insects or imprints of animals, or play activities as the “Green Odyssey” where young and kids can run on platforms and suspended walkways in the trees. Of course we must not forget the hundred not raptors (about thirty different species), and demonstration flights carried out by professional falconers.

Shot from the ferry connecting the south of the island of Manhattan to Staten Island, here is a panoramic view of the bay of New York, with from left to right: the Statue of Liberty, Jersey City, separate from skyscrapers of the financial district of lower Manhattan by the Hudson River, and finally on the right  the borough of Brooklyn. We can also see on this picture even on the bridges in Brooklyn and Manhattan that span the East River, on the right of the image.

What great show when we come from Cassis by the GR path, and that one falls on the cove of Port Pin, where boaters and vacationers come anchor time to bite a small dip in the turquoise blue waters

Oh they are beautiful parks and gardens in London … Small corners of nature in the heart of London where we come to forget the incessant babble of the adjacent streets… :)

You may feel in the depths of the English countryside, but yet this photo was taken in the heart of London …
