The joys of spring

“A garden, even a small one, is the gateway to heaven !” _ Marie Angel

 

With the return of warmer weather, it’s time to plant again!

This year, beans are in the spotlight, alongside tomatoes, peppers and nasturtiums!

They will soon take place next to the strawberry, oregano and lemon grass plants, at the feet of the raspberry, mulberry and myrtle trees!

And you, what have you planted this year?

The “Sahayak” or helper in hindi

This is the first animation of a small series on the characters that cannot be ignored in Indian railway stations.

The luggage carrier is easily recognizable with his red shirt and his cotton scarf carelessly put on the shoulder, waiting to be rolled up on the head like a shock absorber between the skull and the luggage.

No trolley… the Sahayak carries everything with his arms and especially with his head! Always looking for a new customer, he never shies away from the task even in the heart of the hot season.

How brave !

 

The Hikkers Robots

Which one of those robots would you like to have with you for you next trek ?

The small moving hut will keep you warm during those long winter nights with its wood burning stove. Its glass dome will allow you to admire the stars without stepping outside ! During day time, the hut will follow you on the trails without being driven.

The umbrella fixed on the backpack will perfectly protect you by automatically tilting and rotating as per the direction of the rain and the position of the sun.

The removable deck will take you above the treetops so that you can enjoy a starry sky.

The backpack with paws can takes the lead and support you for the last kilometers of a tiring walking day.

The intelligent basket will be able to identify for you all the eatable plants, mushrooms, fruits and roots so that you can safely accomodate our meals.

So, which one will you take with you ?

 

A city overlooking the ocean…

This city looks familiar to me… where are we ?

Let’s take sometime overthere… shall we ?

This pontoon going towards the ocean seems to be the spot for a romantic date. Maybe he is a sailor with his ladylove ?

And this boat sailing the ocean… what is it going to fish ? Where is it going ?

I would love to drink a coffee on this roof top, the view might be great. Would you join me ?

Later we could get some fruits and vegetables from this greengrocer in the adjacent street…

Than we would walk along the sea cliffs before climbing up the big tower which reminds me of another one…

Isn’t it Saint James on the top ? Holding his pilgrim’s rod and wearing his cape, his eyes fixed on the ocean…

There would be so many others things to say about this city…. would you agree to stay some more ?

Artist studio with view on the Seine river !

Would you like to live in an artist studio with a beautiful view on the Seine in Paris ?

In Middle-Age, the parisian briges were built and inhabited… till the beginning of 19th century !

Just imagine how those briges would look like nowadays if their were still “capped” with those buildings ? Would you enjoy living there ?
