*“I’ve learned that there is always another wave coming. Translated that means there is always tomorrow. No matter how badly you get caught inside, if you can just hang in there and keep paddling, the set is going to pass and there will be a lull afterwards. So don’t give up, just take your pounding, wait until the set passes, then make your move.”
— Gerry Lopez

I have seen the light. But it is slowly dying inside.

There are two sides to every coin
My roommates, Sébastien & Pitichat, are now only a couple of days away... After a big roadtrip from Sydney to Adelaïde, they are now in the vincinity of Alice Springs to visit one of the wonders of the world... Uluru!
On Thursday they will take the Ghan, an historic train crossing Australia from the south to the north and arrive in Katherine on Friday morning.
Then we will hit the road quite quickly to go out bush for almost 10 days, so I can give them a taste of outback Australia... That will be quite a big change from our life in Paris :-)
Litchfield National Park and Kakadu National Park are on the program, along with nights under the stars, cooking straight on the fire in a cast-iron camp oven, swimming in water holes with goannas, watching saltwater crocodiles bathing in the sun, and of course a lot of bitumen, unseal roads and red dust.
------------------------------------
To give you a glimpse of what we are going to see, a small serie of three shots taken on the Yellow Water River, in Kakadu National Park, NT (very little post prod, just a bit of vignetting)
The area was buzzing with wildlife (birds and saltwater crocodiles) yet nothing was troubling the peaceful mirror-like surface of the water...

Because we all live under the same sun
A small collection of the stunning drop-everything-you're-doing-to-watch sunsets I have been admiring while on the road during the last four months.
