Work around the Clock by ~Gavrinis on deviantART
Geneva 22 november 2007, the Bank district at the end of office hours....
time to go home or have a beer.
not for everyone, some work-alcoholic are still in office.
from each side of the window, two people frantically measuring their exposure: me with the reflection of a clock, the ohter guy probably with his exposure to subprime mortgage!...
French corner:

Genève 22 novembre 2007, le quartier des banques à la sortie du bureau.
pas pour tous, quelques acharnés sont encore là.
confrontation de deux soucis d'exposition de chaque coté de la fenetre. moi avec le reflet de l'horloge, l'autre avec son exposition aux prets à risque subprime...

"reflection" is something i am discovering with my camera.

je suis très attiré par les reflections en photo qui ouvrent une nouvelle dimension dans l'image.
Terror Haza, Andrassy ut,60 by ~Gavrinis on deviantART
n Budapest on the most famous avenue, Andrassy ut,60.
The old house where successively, nazis and soviets tortured their political opponents, has been turned into a museum.
The walls are grey with pictures of the victims on it.
This is my vision of this place with two dradful flags of totalitarianism.
Despite a kind of "Disney haunted house" approach, the visit of the place is a must to feel what this folk has been going through not so long ago...

French Corner:
La visite se termine par les cellules de torture.
les explications précisent que les victimes ont sacrifié leur vie pour la Liberté récemment obtenue, qu'elles ne sont pas mortes pour rien...
en sortant du musée, à 200m, on trouve un peep-show et des boutiques de luxe qui proposent les mêmes objets de consommation qu'à Paris ou Londres.

Gellert Art Deco by ~Gavrinis on deviantART
enjoy the pleasure of a warm bath in the art deco Gellert Spa, after a day of walk in Budapest.
Don't forget to try the nearby rudas bath with its ottoman cupola and the ray of light going through...
it sure is a place to make a picture, at least if your camera is not broken as was mine on that day !...

Budavari Palota by ~Gavrinis on deviantART
Castle hill district by night in Budapest.
to get rid of an ugly boat on the foreground, I made a first shot purposely blured and mixed it with a second shot of the castle, as sharp as I could with my compact camera in "pause" mode without tripod!...
European Dalit by ~Gavrinis on deviantART
a Dalit, often called an untouchable, or an outcaste:
Traditionally, Dalits were not allowed to let their shadows fall upon a non-Dalit caste member and they were required to sweep the ground where they walk to remove the 'contamination' of their footfalls...

animated gif about liberty
Comments:The Szabadság Szobor or Liberty Statue in Budapest, Hungary, was first erected in 1947 in remembrance of the Soviet liberation of Hungary from Nazi forces during World War II. Its location upon Gellért Hill makes it a prominent feature of Budapest's cityscape.
At the time of the monument's construction, the Soviet liberation from Nazi forces event was considered a liberation -- leading to the original inscription upon the memorial, which can be translated to read "Erected by the grateful Hungarian Nation in memory of the liberating Russian heroes."
Over the following years, public sentiment toward the Soviets decreased to the point of revolution, which was attempted in 1956 and subsequently damaged some portions of the monument. After the 1989 transition from Communist rule to a more Democratic government, the inscription was modified to read (translated from Hungarian), "To the memory of all of those who sacrificed their lives for the independence, freedom, and success of Hungary." from wikipedia.org

From a French song:
one does not choose his parents nor his family. One does not choose either the sidewalks of Manila, Paris or Alger to learn how to walk.

On choisit pas ses parents, on choisit pas sa famille. On choisit pas non plus les trottoirs de Manille, De Paris ou d'Alger pour apprendre a marcher.

Magellan's Fate II by ~Gavrinis on deviantART
Carbon market, Cebu
on my way back from the diving sites of bohol, I found one of the most lovely market in the second biggest town of the archipelago.
there were barely no tourists in Carbon Market, just simple people,welcoming you with a genuine smile. The kind of nice ambience where you feel at ease to ask with a nod of the head to be allowed to take a close picture. A genuine travel experience!
some post-precessing (color/contrast/blur) with PS and ...Picasa!
French corner:
sur mon chemin de retour des sites de plongées de Bohol, j'ai découvert le marché Charbon dans la deuxième ville de l'archipel.
Il n'y avait pratiquement pas de touristes, juste des gens simples qui vous accueuillent avec un grand sourire authentique. le genre d'ambiance où on se sent à l'aise pour demander la permission de prendre un portrait d'un simple geste.
une vraie expérience de voyage!
traitement photo (couleurs/contraste/flou) sous PS et...Picasa!
baker's dozen BW by ~Gavrinis on deviantART
I could not decide if this pic looks best in B&W or colors, so I put both online.

bangaan rice terraces by ~Gavrinis on deviantART
on my way back to banaue.
nice talk with a old belgian catholic nun in the country for something like 60 years.
mixed feeling about the catholics who brought a lot to this country and yet contribut to the destruction of the Ifugao culture.
French corner:
sur mon chemin de retour vers Banaue.
charmante conversation avec une vieille bonne-soeur belge dans le pays depuis au moins 60 ans.
sentiments meles au sujet des catholiques qui ont apporté beaucoup au pays et pourtant contribué à la quasi disparition de la culture locale. seuls les plus anciens connaissent encore les chansons de ce peuple vieux de 2000 ans...
