#SilentSunday The White Sailboats

While Mum’s paddles along Sicily or Sardinia, I watch the sailboats go by…

From the Barcelona seashore, a palm tree stands tall with white sailboats gliding in the distance. #SilentSunday © 20250511 Gilles Denizot

A laptop screen displays a photo of a hand holding a glowing firefly, with a lit lamp casting a warm glow in the background. The serene image captures the magic of India’s enchanting nights. #NoVisa © Gilles Denizot 2011

Ces gens

Le plan machiavélique de Bob le balai avait tout du crime parfait…

It was in March 2012. Everyone at the KM Music Conservatory Chennai was buzzing as the final exams period was drawing nearer.

#SilentSunday The Red Suitcase

It was one evening, in an alleyway in Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella…

At night, in an alleyway in Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella, a man (wearing a red beret and a fake fur coat) suddenly stopped. One of the two red suitcases he was pulling got away from him and fell to the ground. He is holding a hoover in his left hand. His right hand, gloved in black, is still holding a semi-rigid red suitcase. In front of him, a man on an electric skate, another in a doorway. #SilentSunday 20250504 © Gilles Denizot
