SNAPSHOTS - One day, one
photo
My random amateur snapshots from travels, places, people, landscapes, things... & life.
One pic a day
Welcome to my amateur photographer blog, simply meant to share snapshots from travels, places, people, moments (that's a tough one!) - the small little things as well as the bigger ones...
The truth is, I love photography. And I accumulated about 5 zillions of pictures from my travels and encounters - and never really found a satisfactory way to share them. Until it just hit me one day (yeah, I'm like that) - why not making a new blog, just a photoblog? (luminous idea)
Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself: I'm a French girl "who lived in too many different countries to be really French anymore". Right now I live in Germany. My previous country of residence was Argentina. Nicknamed "Baguette" during my 2 years stay there by my workmates. And that stupid nickname stayed ;).
All the pictures posted on this blog are mine and right-click protected. If
you want to use one or more, you are more than welcome to do so - just contact me via the "Contact" link below.
Anyway - welcome again, make yourself at home and enjoy!

Would you believe me if I say this is one huge ice-cream composition from many flavours and extremely well done to reproduce the original fruits? A true work of art. When they started cutting it in fine slices from top to buttons, I could not believe...
A bit delayed ;) - I'm happy to announce that our office girl "Princess" gave birth to 3 absolute gorgeous kittens on May 18th - This photo was taken on June 06th as one of them came out from their crate for the first time. Isn't it just adorable? Faire-part...
A very rare phenomenon that I was lucky to witness - a piece of the bottom of the glacier, deep down in the lake and by definition the oldest pieces of it (thousands of years old) breaks and pops up at the surface of the water. A unique shade of blue...

That was an extremely peaceful moment and view, the kind of moment where you could sit in the gras and contemplate the image for your eyes for hours. I tried to capture this peace and quiet with the photo, hope you feel it as well - (Emmendingen, Germany,...

I have no idea how to name that photo. I just was cleaning at my flat and put the laundry on that shelf - and just found it an interesting picture. So, well... just because! ;) Je n'ai aucune idée du nom que je pourrais donner à cette photo. En réalité...
