As promised in the last posting, I come back to the topics of "inside-out /
outside-in” and "museum and the city". These topics will probably keep my
imagination busy for a while, and I will have to revisit places again and
again, in order to refine my images and come closer to what I would like them
to be.
Comments and proposals for improvements are very welcome.

We are still back at 25 January, the same day we discovered the mimosas in
full bloom. (See the posting before this one).
Ending the day with a coffee on the quay of the port of Hyères, I was able to
chase a few more reflections in the water. The port of Hyères is rather
"modern" and mostly devoid of charme. Nevertheless, the soft evening light and
the palm-trees at the edge of the harbour basin made for a few nice images. At
least I hope you agree they are nice.

31 January marked the end of the season for "season greetings" in France.
This extended season gives French people a lot more time than those in most
other countries to recover from celebrations before sending their New Year's
wishes. It shows we have a different sense of time. (I say "we" since I have
adapted a long time ago. Having to be exactly on time has become a
strain...)
So it is time, even in France, to follow the greetings-entry of this blog with
a new posting.
Even though we have already had a glimpse of spring last Sunday (25 January)
seeing the mimosas blossom in Bormes les Mimosas, let us first come back to the
spot that figured on the greeting card in the last posting.

"Saisir l’éphémère”, catching the ephemeral, may seem like a strange concept
in conjunction with buildings constructed for eternity - at least in the
intentions of their proud creators. Of course, if you had a chance of looking
at some of the sources cited in the previous posting on the history of La
Défense, you realise how things changed there over time. And if you take a look
at the many sites under construction today, you will see quite dramatic changes
happening right now, destruction and (re-) construction.
But my notion of the ephemeral is not so much centred on the long term
evolution of La Défense (or that of my other subjects) – I am rather interested
in showing the ephemeral nature of my subjects in a single image (or in very
few images showing different aspects of a subject).
