GLOBE TROTTING WITH GLOHOLIDAY -CLAUDE SAINT ROME-TRAVELHOUSEUK.....Frantz Bataille


GLOBE TROTTING...


CLAUDE SAINT ROME
"I am an artist a painter, love taking pictures of nature, on that field for 50 years now. A former air traffic controller. I made 3 documentaries on Haiti . I got on book Port-au-Prince Before and After The Quake Jan 12. Welcome to my page Happy new year Planet Earth 2013. Enjoy the ride ".
So spoke a Haitian born photograph  Claude  Saint Rome about his country.  

La Gonave sunset
 A lover of Mother Nature, M.St Rome went everywhere in the so called Magic Island. Nowhere else, to tell the truth, the landscape is so miscellaneous . Remember. To Napoleon eager to know what Haiti, then Saint Domingue, looked like, an officer threw a smashed piece of paper on the desk. Haiti is all mountains and valleys.  

But, there is more than a worn out land. Here is a golden sunset on la GONAVE. 

Bois Jalousie
While la Gonave at dusk is blazing, St Rome’s camera cannot let us overlook Jalousie nearby Petion Ville, a kind of slum city. Jalousie is now a kaleidoscope as if artists here were glancing at poverty though paints and a lot of shades of colors. However, Foret des Pins with its feathers of fog contrast with  those crowded places that seem to seal the   Port-au prince’s fate.

Jacmel Bassin Bleu
Far away from Petion Ville and Jalousie, it happily happens that Jacmel is still a place to be in. St Rome displays for our delight Bassin Bleu and the smoky mountains of Dame Marie laid on  Grande Anse’s shores. Dame marie seen from the Macaya steps offers an unexpected view on the sea.






Dame Marie, the Smoky gun









Mole  St Nicolas
Obviously, our photograh is a fan of the sea. Mole St Nicolas, a remote and unknown city in the Far West, has nothing to do apparently with modern life. M. St Rome shoots at its plummeting into the sea. But this place founded back to Colombus’s arrival in the Americas continues to show up with   a lot of marble graves back to the French settlement. Mole St Nicolas is a few miles away from Cuba.

GLOHOLIDAY AND TRAVELHOUSE UK
BERMUDAS
I do not know how much architecture hold something still phenomenal. We can watch at this woman side the Bermuda seas and its turquoise waters. The Caribbean remain unbeatable  with regards to tourism. Gloholiday, as a big travel agency, succeeds at motivating people to reinvent themselves through travelling and openness to another culture and identities.

ICELAND
Iceland, still a new comer on the map, given its remoteness, like anything coming from far, has everything to attract and amaze. TravelhouseUK displays the big spa of Iceland. People said it is a place where Gengis Khan had been  horse riding through..





BOSTWANA

Look at finally the elephants at the Bostwana Wild life. We think of the famous poem of Leconte de Lisle, a French writer. He wrote a piece about the time a herd of elephants going thirsty  to  the river.
