Louvre Abu Dhabi project - day 1
Masterwork by the Pritzker winner architect Jean Nouvel
On his own words: " It wishes to create a welcoming world serenely combining light and shadow, reflection and calm. It wishes to belong to a country, to its history, to its geography (...). It also aims at emphasising the fascination generated by rare encounters.
This picture is part of a 3 day personal proyect at the Louvre Abu Dhabi. A true photographic discovery.
Credit Suisse forbidden picture, Geneva. Looking up while queuing at the Bank, somebody got angry as I was taking pictures of the bank's atrium and asked me to erase them, but I never erase a good shot :)
The magic of spirals
Playing Mozart at the Victoria Hall in Geneva, Pianist Cedric Peschia mesmerized us all.

As years go by. Great Hall at the International Labour Organisation, Geneva. A huge carpet with all the years since its foundation paves the way for a day at work.

Surprising geometry in the La Praille Mall, Geneva. I cannot say it is really my favourite architecture, but there was nothing more at hand this day. Photo taken with my mini lumix
Daniil Trifonov, exceptional Russian pianist, at 26 is touring the world and playing in the biggest concert halls. We had the great luck of listening to him in Geneva, where he amazed us all with his "Hommage a Chopin", an unusual programm full of surprises.
Here he is, concentrating before the concert. I was quite far away but had a powerful lense in my bag this time.
La Givrine, Switzerland
Postcard views all around. A real paradise for photography, but for the cold ! On the way back we were surprised by a brizzard
Festival Antigel, Geneva
Botanical garden as a huge scenery for a science-fi show at night by -4 degrèes...extraordinary experience.
""Nous sommes les derniers de l’espèce à garder le foyer. Notre foyer." Votre foyer, en vrai. Car avec cette histoire à rêver sur nos deux pieds, fabriquée par l’auteur Fabrice Melquiot, vous serez plongés dans une galaxie inconnue d’une saveur sauvage. Une planète fictive gorgée de végétaux, où les serres communiquent par la lumière et où des bestioles presque humaines cohabitent dans une étendue de poésie fantastique. "Botanica" traduit admirablement l’envie du festival de faire redécouvrir le Jardin botanique dans un court voyage sensoriel singulier. Un conte sur les oreilles, des chorégraphies végétales sous les pupilles et des jeux de faisceaux oniriques impalpables qui soulignent par la même occasion l’importance de la flore et de sa conservation."
Show produced by Festival antigel & Eric Linder at Geneva's Botanical gardens
