Nothing like a friendly game of petanque in the evening.

I think that petanque is typical a french game. How do you find petanque in NZ ?

Those are some fancy petanque balls! Don't old men in Paris like to play this in the park?

He, he ... as you say Nadege, I was really amazed that James and Greta had Petanque !
What a pressure on my shoulders ! but do not worry, the French honour was safe as I won twice: once throwing the ball with my back facing the cochonnet and once by throwing it backwards between my legs. Both times, I got it right next to the cochonnet ... do not ask me how I did it.
As a note, Greta is a great fan of French and she speaks very well. She also listens to Joe Dassin in her car ... see, she had to have a Pétanque game :)

Excellent shot: the sharpness, the angle, the colors, the idea is perfect! What a great and unusual beach scene

I like this very much. The shallow dof works perfectly.
