Grenoble Daily Photo.

As you might not see it in my picture, the river is totally in flood at the moment. I've never seen it so high even if I've been living in front of it for more or less 5 years now!
I enjoy seeing it large and powerfull like this just in front of my windows but it's getting a bit scary though. And it'd probably not be a bad thing if the rain stopped pouring so hard every night and day now...

Tonight, in our new stadium, France won against Ecuador (2-0).

Yesterday I did something quite unusual for me: I turned myself into a paparzzo photographer! Yes I did... well, not exactly but kind of!
The guy you can see in my photo is Mathias Malzieu, singer of the excellent French rock band Dionysos. He also is a writer, so I went to a signing organised in Grenoble yesterday to have my copy of his last book, La Mécanique du coeur signed. And of course I couldn't help stealing a photo or two!
As if it wasn't enough, I even asked for a photo-pass (which I obtained!) for the gig they were playing in Grenoble during the evening.
The show was fantastic and the pictures will soon be online on my music photography website, Nevermind The Name.
If you have the opportunity to see Dionysos live, don't miss them, they are just amazing on stage.

Believe it or not, this is a picture from the hospital. Can't help searching for abstraction and beauty where it's not supposed to be found...

Today I take you to the Rivoiranche castle, on the small village of Saint Paul les Monestier (it's a 40-minute drive from Grenoble).

I've taken this picutre last week during the festival I told you about previously (click here), called Les Femmes s'en mêlent.
So this time, the band playing was called Ruby Throat. Some of you may know her frontwoman as she is also playing in Queen Adreena... and she is quite a phenomenon on stage!
