The Fall colors at the Arboretum near Fahd's place (2022)

Português:
Fahd Sultanem é um amigo de longa data. Estudamos juntos no mesmo laboratório (em Orsay, Universidade Paris-Sud) nos anos 1970-80s e tínhamos, em comum, o interesse pela fotografia. Vida seguindo, mesmo em países distintos, sempre mantivemos nossa amizade. Ele mora em Robinson (10 km ao sul de Paris) e perto de sua casa (em torno de 10 minutos a pé), há duas atrações particulares (entre tantas outras): uma é a casa de Chateaubriand, renomado escritor e homem político francês do século 19. Esta casa fica localizada numa imensa propriedade campestre. No momento em que as fotos foram feitas (novembro 2022) estávamos no outono e as cores das árvores adquirem a coloração típica da estação. Neste mesmo local (Châtenay-Malabry, Hauts-de-Seine) há o belo "Arboretum de la Vallée des Loups"", um jardim botânico com muitas atrações relacionadas ao tema. Entre eles, há uma estufa com o cultivo de bonsais, alguns com mais de 200 anos. Cyrill Martinez, amigo - e também fotógrafo - que mora no sul da França nos acompanhou neste passeio inesquecível.

Fahd Sultanem is a friend since the 1970-80s, when we met in the same laboratory for our studies (Orsay-Paris Sud University). We both already had the same interest in photography. Although we live in different countries, we maintained our friendship. He lives in Robinson (around 10 km south of Paris) and near his house, there are two particular attractions (among many others): walking for about 10 minutes, it is possible to visit the "Maison de Chateaubriand'', an eminent writer and French politician of the 19th century and an "Arboretum" which is a botanic garden. Chateaubriand's house is located inside an immense country domain. When the pictures were taken (November 2022), the typical Fall season colors were present. Very close, in the same Châtenay-Malabry, Hauts-de-Seine department, the "Arboretum de la Vallée des Loups" is located, as mentioned above. There are some botanical attractions in this garden and, among them, a stove with bonsais; some of them are more than 200 years old. Cyrill Martinez. a friend - and photographer as well - who lives in the south of France, came along on this unforgettable tour.

Cara, que fotos agradáveis! Estão ótimas e bem representativas do ambiente e da estação local. Deu prazer de ver. Curti muito o passeio com vocês. A casa do teu amigo também parece ser bem acolhedora, dando vontade de conhecer melhor. Resumindo, foi um belo passeio que tivesse a sorte de fazer e, nós, a sorte de conhecer. Valeu, João!
