SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY 2

Sunrise at Haleakala - Maui - Hawaii - August 2012

Right in the center of the photo, you can see the triangular pyramid-shaped shadow of the Haleakala volcano 

and just next to it, on the right, you can see the island of Lanai.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, 

and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,

for each day to have a new and different sun.

(Christopher McCandless)

La joie dans la vie vient de nos rencontres avec de nouvelles expériences,

par conséquent il n'est de plus grande joie que d'avoir un horizon qui change sans cesse,

afin d'avoir un soleil nouveau et différent chaque jour.

Lahaina -Maui - Hawaii - August 2012

La navigation à voile est ce qui me rapproche le plus de la nature.

C'est de l'adrénaline, de la peur, un combat et un apprentissage permanents,

une aventure dans l'inconnu.

{Daria Werbowy}
Sailing is the closest I can get to nature.

It's adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge and learning experience

an adventure into the unknown.
