Pensée Nomade by Guy Lorgneret

Pensée Nomade (link, enlace, lien)

Guy Lorgeret is a French visual artist. The sculptures represent women on dugouts, migrating, claiming their freedom. Years ago the same women started their journey on foot, then later, on bicycles.

Nomades, the women of G. Lorgeret want to invite you to travel with them.

The artist doesn't get tired with his nomades "more than 10 years I go along with them". Don't try to find where they come from, perhaps can you just imagine where they are going to. 

"The whole idea is to travel with them".

Les femmes de Guy Lorgeret invitent au voyage. L'artiste ne s'en lasse pas, « cela fait dix ans que je les accompagne ». Inutile, en revanche, de chercher à savoir d'où elles viennent, mais peut-être pouvons-nous imaginer où elles vont, « l'idée, c'est de voyager avec elles ».
      Enjoy.

Montmartre is a large hill in Paris' 18th arrondissement (district). It is 130 metres high and gives its name to the surrounding district, part of the Right Bank in the northern section of the city.

Always a pleasure to walk up and down the streets of La Butte specially in March with not so many tourists around.

Enjoy those snap shots.

The Parc Monceau is 10 minutes away from where I live when I'm in Paris, I consider it my back yard! It is always pretty but at this time of the year it's even prettier.

Along The Mekong day 4

Phnom Penh second visit (link, lien, enlace)

Back to Phnom Penh…
We enjoyed again the Royal Palace and its elegant pagodas and the National Museum. 

In the afternoon we visited one of the most poignant testimonies of the brutality of The

Khmer Rouges regime ( 1975-1979) led by Pol Pot, the dreadful S21 prison where over 17 000 people were tortured and killed. It has become the Genocide Museum.

Some historians estimate that they killed up to two million people, dying from executions, starvation, disease and overwork, the educated middle-classes were particularly decimated. Today, only two S21 prison survivors remains, they sell books narrating the horrendous conditions of their captivity. Very few Khmer Rouge leaders were brought into trial, however, former S21 prison chief, “Duch”, has been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2012.

We ended the afternoon with the Wat Phonm pagoda, on the hill that gave its name to the Cambodian capital. Walking back to the boat we saw the imposing French Colonial Post office (La Poste), and several beautiful colonial buildings that would require urgent renovation.
