About

Born in South of France, I grew-up in Africa, lived few years in Poland and I am now for two decades in Middle East.

One of my hobby is Photography and vintage cameras. Taking pictures lead me to different adventures and help to reconnect with nature.

Wild Beach at Masirah Island, Sultanate of Oman 🇴🇲
Masirah (Arabic: مصيرة‎) is an island off the East coast of the Sultanate of Oman, 95 km long north-south, between 12 and 14 km wide, with an area of about 649 km².
It contains an Omani air base and a fish factory, as well as a few small villages. Previously, the BBC had a relay facility consisting of both HF and MF broadcasting transmitters stationed there.
The access to the island is only possible by ferries for cars and trucks or by Omani Air Force Hercules (RAFO) flights.

Mangroves at Bandar Khairan, Sultanate of Oman 🇴🇲
The green trees growing in the sea to the left are black mangroves (Avicenia marina’ or Qurm in Arabic). These are one of the few trees which can live in salty conditions. They prefer bays such as those at Al Khairan, as well as lagoons such as those in Qurum in Muscat. The mangrove woodland in Al Khairan is one of the largest in the area.
The dense vegetation of the Mangrove forests provides nutrients and shelter for fish, crayfish and birds.
About 20 of these forests are still growing along Oman’s coast.

Mangroves a Bandar Khairan, Sultanat d'Oman 🇴🇲
Les arbres verts poussant dans la mer à gauche sont des mangroves noires (Avicenia marina ’ou Qurm en arabe). Ce sont l'un des rares arbres qui peuvent vivre dans des conditions d’eau salines. Ils préfèrent les baies comme celles d'Al Khairan, ainsi que les lagunes comme celles de Qurum à Mascate. La forêt de mangroves d'Al Khairan est l'une des plus grandes de la région.
La végétation dense des forêts de mangroves fournit des nutriments et un abri aux poissons, aux écrevisses et aux oiseaux.
Une vingtaine de ces forêts poussent encore le long de la côte d’Oman.

Today we were lucky enough with my wife to take nice Pictures of Al Samakat al Sahra ("fish of the desert"). Here is one of them.

The Egyptian spiny-tailed lizard, Uromastyx aegyptius microlepis, is not easy to see in the sandy or gravely desert of Sharjah. The timid Dabb loves to bask in the sun near its burrow where he can hide quickly when approached. They usually live in loose colonies, in separate burrows some 20-50 meters apart.
They are capable of changing their colour with change in their body temperature, turning from black to white or yellow as they warm up
Hunting them was banned by a 1983 federal law, and trade is banned under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna.
Sharjah, Emirats Arabe Unis 🇦🇪

Al Samakat al Sahra (“le poisson du desert")

L’Agame égyptien à queue épineuse, Uromastyx aegyptius microlepis, n'est pas facile à voir dans le désert sableux ou graveleux de Sharjah. Le timide Dabb adore se prélasser au soleil près de son terrier où il peut se cacher rapidement si on l'approche. Ils vivent généralement en colonies, dans des terriers séparés de 20 à 50 mètres.
Ils sont capables de changer de couleur avec le changement de leur température corporelle, passant du noir au blanc ou au jaune en se réchauffant
Leur chasse a été interdite par une loi fédérale de 1983 et leur commerce est interdit en vertu de la Convention sur le commerce international des espèces de flore et de faune menacées d'extinction.

Each living being has an impact on the environment, be it a human, plant, or animal. All who breathe are a part of a delicate and intricate balance affecting all the organisms in the ecosystem.
