A colorful grey world

« La petite maison blanche »

The picture in the header of my blog is known as “La petite maison blanche” (“The small white house”). (Upd: the design changed!)

In 1996, the Canada saw its biggest overland flood of the 20th century, in the Saguenay region (Source: Wikipedia).  That little house was submerged in the river, water flowing all around.  Of all the buildings of the neighborhood, only this house and the church survived.

I took this photography in 2004 during the winter, armed with the widest lens I had at the time: a Sigma 12-24 for Canon EOS mounts.

You can find a picture taken during the flood (with a few more houses :) on Wikipedia’s French page.
