Ekaterina Alexandrova, queen of Limoges for the third time ! I spent an excellent afternoon on wednesday 18th at Beaublanc and was able to get some good shots of her during her match with Monika Nicolescu.
In late november I attended several concerts of the Jazz fesival "Eclats d'Email" in Limoges as a member of the collective PhotoLim87 which was accredited photographer for the series. Wonderful opportunity to photograph musicians on stage and to hear some splendid jazz.
In october 2019 I visited the "Village Martyr", Oradour sur Glane, near Limoges in central France, with a group of friends. The weather was fine, not too hot with good light for photography. We spent around 2 hours in the ruined village itself, then left for the new village for lunch and sober reflection.

July 2019 at the educational farm owned by friends Eric and Nanie Cottineau at Châteauneuf-la-Forêt in Limousin with a group of 7 friends. On offer : multiple acres of meadow, the animal enclosures and the banks of a river - all teeming with insects and wild flowers. Equipped with a 200mm lens for the timid creatures and a 100mm macro for the true macro shots, I passed a gorgeous day grovelling in the grass under a friendly sun - not too hot.
