My Photo Gallery

Passionately fond of rocky textures, patterns (shapes) in Nature and changes of perspective, I have developed through time photographic resources on these themes, classified archives which I have digitized for most of them.

I have created a photo gallery to be consulted at the URL:
http://flelchat.free.fr/galerie/index.html

The pictured themes are:

Statues in Brittany : Ploumanach, Bréhat
Textures in: Rocks, Trees, Seaweed, Sand
Rocky landscapes in Brittany (Belle île, Ploumanach, Bréhat, Cap Fréhel, etc.)
Water: waves, turbulences (ripples, foam), ponds, swamps
Skies and seaside: Belle île, Plougrescant
