The top photo was
taken on 15th January 2015 near Martroise lake, next to Les Martres-de-Veyre in the Auvergne. When we took the picture, about 8am, we only heard birds. This
magnificent blue, pink and orange sunrise left us speechless. We felt Nature
awake, the fresh breeze in our hair. Marie used to play on the little hill you
can see silhouetted in the centre of the picture. When she was five years old, Marie’s
elder sister threw her into this pond. She couldn't swim very well and her
mother screamed in panic. Her father saved her...
I took the picture of
this frightening storm from my bedroom window on 29th September 2014. I live in Trémonteix,
a neighbourhood of Clermont-Ferrand. It was cold outside. A wet dog odour came up
from the street. The only lights are from the neighbours’ home and from the
lightning bolts. The difference between background and foreground is not
clearly defined. I think this is the best shot I have ever taken!
These photos, where
light and dark is the subject, evoke Clermont-Ferrand and its surrounding area.
They show that Nature can be both destructive and beautiful and, though we live
in an urban environment, is always present.
