Empty open market in Vallue, outside of Petit Goave

Tuesdays is when farmers from the area come to the market to sell their products. Abner Septembre, the owner of Hotel Villa Ban-Yen, took us on a tour of the area this past Sunday and the market was completely deserted.

Another road, a new place, the journey continues...

Amazing what one can find without traveling too far. I always head out knowing things will unfold and I will be guided to places where there are plenty of interesting and great photo-opportunities, right in my backyard— Obléon is just a mile from kenscoff, beside being a perfect location to escape the monotony of everyday life—it's where we needed to be for the assignment. The rain had finally tapered off, the sun peeked through the dark clouds just long enough to bring a soft golden light illuminating the Auberge, scheduled to be the next Goûter Aux Voyages story. The fog moved in and inundated the landscape, by the time we drove out on the cobblestone driveway. Even the most unanticipated subject can become very captivating in the mist and create a thought-provoking image.

Simplicity and Innocence ...

"Une sensation de bien-être inattendue s'imprègne dans la douce lumière du soleil mourant. À l'ombre du rouge vif des pétales, je suis éblouie par la grace de l'ambiance... Comment as-tu su que cette photo m'aurait donné l'envie de me perdre dans une åme en flamme, comme la mienne, qui partage mon existence? Souvent, c'est dans la simplicité que la nature harmonise bien des choses." Nice Eliazar

Just a few selected photographs from the wedding celebration held at the newlyweds home. A very small ceremony attended by a few close friends of the now Mr and Mrs Célestin.

Collaborating with a writer, she is such a beautiful soul...

"Des yeux écarquillés libèrerent mes pensées et me donnent souvent des désirs incontrôlables. Une chambre impéccablement tenue avec un lit à couverture blanche... J'imagine la rencontre de nos bouches avides qui s'entrelacent, des murmures rauques scellent une promesse de rage contenue avec des doigts qui frôlent et éveillent nos sensibilités." Nice Eliazar
