275. Trees and clouds.


On my every day road also, I stopped to take this photo, as we were crossing the forest of Trélon a little after Sains-du-Nord. It was in the morning and the trees in this early December are endly going to loose their leaves, what is late compared with other years. The early morning light in the clouds I found wonderful. In December the sun is rising up between 8 and 9, so that you can take the best photos of sunrise at this time.

274. My every day road (5). Going though Avesnes-sur-Helpe


Driving though Avesnes-sur-Helpe, we are waiting, letting high school pupils of my ancient high-school (where I teached ten years long) going over ther road, coming from the railway station and going up to the school. The highway crossing here is the big Nationale Road 2 (N2) and have often much traffic. It goes through the town of Avesnes-sur-Helpe. You can see here also some beautiful rich houses of the beginning of the 20th century, as the industry avtivities were at their top in the region.

273. My every day road (4) - Landscape and tower


I am always happy to see the spectacle of the morning light between 8 and 9 when riding to school. I find this place between St Hilaire-sur-Helpe and Avesnes-sur-Helpe is very pretty with its old tower. So, I asked my husband who is sitting near me in the car every morning three times a week to take this photo instead of me because I cannot take a photo when driving. The photo was taken though the glasses of the car, so that there are come reflections on it.

272. My every-day road (3) : Waiting at a signalisation red light for works on the road


During about two months (November-December) there were a red signalisation light for cars on my every day road between Sains-du-Nord and Fourmies in cause of works on the road. I had to wait there between half an hour and three quarters hours. Sometimes I took other roads but with the complicated country land small roads web, it was not easier and did not go faster. Here as I took the photo, I was on the first place, but there are still one kilometer of cars waiting behind me. The waiting time at such a red light is always very long, because there is a security wait time after the last car of the other side is passed by. So that I had always to get 3/4 of an hour sooner out of the bed.

270. Christmas in Fourmies


In the same room as we were on the photos just before, the polish dance group of Anor, the Wojtek and the children dance group Les Galopiots, made as a part of it of the descendants of polish people who went to work in the factories of the North of France, were helding a stand where they sold some little things to the benefit of the Telethon. I photographed them just after I told tales and sung from the table beforeon I sat where I told tales and sung. You can see also just before my guitar and the tale books.

269. Christmas tales in Fourmies (2)


Here you can see me taling tales to the children and the people around, I accompany myself on the guitar, triing to give the atmosphere to the tales, improvising every time the music anew. On the right one of my choir-boys a pupil from the Saturday afternoon. I do not give a course of german this afternoon because there are the holidays. My husband made this photo, with my camera, but it went not very right because he cannot good use this camera in rooms or in the night. Used by his permission (of my husband, occasional photographer).

268. Christmas tales in Fourmies


At the 2nd december I am reading Christmas tales and singing Christmas songs for the children in Fourmies, at the time of the Telethon, an action against a genetic lung desease, called in french "mucoviscidose". The town friendship commitee Fourmies-Bernburg (Germany) made a big work for the decoration of the room (the entrance hall of the theater) making the house of the Santa Claus. The lively Santa Claus (the one you see is not lively) made the voice of Santa Claus in the tales, and I read the tales and was making all other voices. Children could come as they wanted, sit down, and listen, and answer at the questions about the following of the tales, and hear afterwards at the real end. I improvised also about a little red cap girl whose story was in December, in the snow, the wolf appeared first behind the snow man she built in the wood, and so on... The choir of the adult pupils I teach in german on Saturdays sang with me some Christmas songs together. We had a good afternoon. This photo was made by my husband while I was reading a tale.

267. Christmas lights on the town-hall of Bachant.




In December the Christmas lights are burning overall in the country. There are not only the lights which are put by the township like street lights or lights on official buidings and churches, but since a few years private houses are showing also many light shows. Here is one on an official building, on my blog, the town-hall of Bachant, a place where I first stopped my car this year 2006 to make some Christmas-light photographs, so are my first Christmas stars of the year twinkling on this blog.
