Two Weekends, Two Places

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

For last two weekends, I was invited in other places by near people. On the first weekend, I made a visit to my friends living in Rennes. Rennes is one of the most beautiful cities in France, which has been the capital of Brittany region for ages. The city was a cultural nucleus for people in Brittany kingdom, when isn’t yet integrated as a part of France. Still there is many beautiful gothic and medieval architectures over the entire city, but now is more coming to fame for students, of which 30% of the total population are students.

The river cutting through calm of the city and old statues along historical monuments has completely fascinated me. I also had good moments in my friends’ apartment. That was an excellent weekend in an atmosphere preferably peaceful.

On the other weekend, I went to visit my grandmother. She welcomed me so delightfully as usual. She lives in a typical medieval village with old stone-built houses, just like from a fairy tale, where we can also see many impressive wooden-decorated buildings from a street to another. My grandmother and I had an outing under a clear sky. It was really pleasant.

Next weekend, I’ll be in a new city, where I’m supposed to stay for my work at least over a year. I’m so glad to have had the chance to obtain this position. I wish to see you then and talk about my new life !

Lake Gouët, My French Hometown

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Today I decided to introduce you “Le Gouët”. It’s a lake located close to my hometown in France, where I enjoy the beauty of nature since I am a child.

Brief history

It is a drinkable water reserve for all the villages that stand around, an artificial lack; the water is maintained by a dam build in 1978. Nevertheless, it is an amazing wild place where live a big number of birds and fishes. For me, who has born in 1986 and who’s always seeing this area as a big water reservoir, it’s incredible to think that before, “Le Gouët” was a tiny river as being shown on the engraving below made in 1892.

Activities around the lake

At this time of the year, people enjoy to pick mushrooms, chestnut, or wild berries. With my friends I regularly have a beer by the shores waiting a fish bites our hooks. It’s a refreshing and quite place but It is also where I become exhausted trying to follow my father who is an experienced jogger. Today it becomes my favorite place to walk with my Samsung NX10 in the hand.

I grew up with this lake

During my childhood I built many wounds on trees close to the water. Then, when I grew up I had parties on its beaches, playing guitar around a campfire and slipping in a rudimentary camp. And finally I used this peaceful and romantic place as a seduction tool by having a moment without word with a woman I’ve met, who became later my lovely mate.

I love to take pictures of “Le Gouët”

Lake Gouët has various colors depending on seasons. Spring and summer are the best period to capture bursting colors, but automn and winter are also lovely for its delicate texture. It gives me powerful imaginations with its changing tones. I just appreciate all that I see around the lake. Such a comfortable feeling, when I simply go for a walk, or even with electronic musics. Since I got the Samsung NX10, what my feelings tell can be exactly realised by images.
