Sur le bassin d'Arcachon

A few pictures from the "bassin d'Arcachon" where we spent a few days. The bassin is tidal and empties itself twice a day.

A few days in Salzburg, Austria

We spent a few days with Lesly & Kurt in the medieval and baroque city of Salzburg. The old town, listed as a UNESCO site, has its late Renaissance buildings painted in an assortment of pastels. It's the birthplace of Mozart and many places are exploiting this. 

We also had a glimpse of the countryside around Salzburg, including the  Untersberg (the local mountain overlooking Salzburg, shared between Austria and Germany and peaking at 1973m) and the enchanting Bluntautal valley. A really lovely place!

A week in Singapore

On our way back from Australia, we stayed a week in Singapore. We enjoyed the overlay of gardens and luxurious vegetation contrasting with the modern building towers, with ancient heavily decorated temples, and with new iconic architecture. A very successful mix!

Red, Green, Venice

A selection of pictures we took in Venice. I loved the red & green colours!
