First snow 2008

The snow is back!

Here’s a small piece of the view I had this morning in my backyard.

The small white house

The picture in the header of my blog is known as "La petite maison blanche" ("The small white house").

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.
