Through the rough Judean desert to the calm shores of the Dead Sea (Israel)
Through the desert where Satan tempted Jesus for 40 days and 40 nights …
you can meet the ruins of an abandoned settlement at the side of the motor road:
a black, hot ribbon that cuts through a couple of check-points to reach the shores of the Dead Sea.
Pools of water evaporation
stretch from Israel border East to Jordan, at the other side of the Dead Sea.
Enjoy the colours and shapes of this waters containing 34% of salt (10 times more than Mediterranean sea)
and its atolls made out precipitated salt
Relax by floating on the water surfaces
but keep this extremely salty water out of mouth and eyes… otherwise …

Let the rain begin for the Fête des Vendanges 2013 de Neuchâtel
A colourful, light and joyful paper rain
to cover the roads and people of Neuchâtel!
Because no shelter will be strong enough
no umbrella wide enough
no street corner safe enough.
Everything and everybody will disappear under this colourful rain
and what will lie down the line … nothing more than confetti on the floor.
