Back to the Sea - Vissza a tengerre

After a short "weekend in the mountain", back to the sea. I love to sail. At this time we went clost to the coast of "Cagnes-sur-Mer".

Egy rövid "alpoki hétvége" után vissza ismét a tengerre. Imádok vitorlázni. Ez alkalommal "Cagnes-sur-Mer" közelében hajókáztunk.

Storm in the Mediterranien Sea - Vihar a Földközi tengeren

Stormy day in the south of France in 08.11.2011. These photos are made in St Laurent du Var and in Cagnes-sur-Mer (close to Nice). What was very interesting, that even there were huge waves, there was no wind. And when I looked far into the sea, I couldn't see waves. Just close to the coast.

Viharos idôjàràs 2011 november 8-àn, dél Franciaorszàgban. A képek St Laurent du Var és Cagnes-sur-Mer-ben készültek (Nizza mellett). Ami különösen érdekes volt, hogy a hatalmas hullàmok ellenére szél nem volt. Sôt amikor a tàvolba néztem a tengeren, egyàltalan nem làttam a hullàmokat. Csak a part közelében.
