I'm glad to join the program, with a small room for a couple in a small town, 40 minutes away from Paris center by train and 15 minutes away from Euro Disney... I have to warn you that my spoken english is very bad so don't expect me to be a pleasant people to speak with and that my two babies still cry all night long Embarassed Laughing


We might have been reasonably close to where you are in the summer as we stayed for 5 nights in a campsite at Crevecoeur en Brie. I only had AF lenses with me at the time though...

Thanks very much Tanheis!
One day I will visit for sure. Not this year because I have to restore my father's house. But I will.


Finland is also on my list of must-visit countries - I've been to Norway and Sweden already but not there. I have a plan to ride to the North Cape by motorbike and return south through Finland, but it'll have to wait until my kids leave home.

Count me in!

I live about an hour from the dramatic Oregon coast, 30 minutes from some lush wild temperate forests coated with moss and lichen, and an hour from the Cascade mountains like Mt Hood - there's also 'twee' downtown Portland, which many adore (but bores me to tears!)

I can offer smallish spare room, with TV, laptop with internet (12mb) wireless router, printer and bed, a guest bathroom and if needed, probably spare car.

Any photographers visiting USA welcome given reasonable notice!

Bienvenue!

Wilkommen!

Until then,

tot ziens!

I've missed your post !

Yes, you will be 30 minutes away by car from me, so we could plan a meeting ?

Also, you are close to the Parc des Félins Wink

Best regards
Florent

As promised in another thread here is an invitation.

Thats our guesthouse on the backyard. It's not Ritz or anything, but its a comfortable place to stay if your passing thru or like to take naturepictures.

It's located in the middle of Sweden. It has a queensize bed, a few chairs and a table. There is a small oven/stove for cooking small meals and a open fire place for heat and comfyness. There is a bathroom with shower and toilet in our basement of the mainhouse which you can get to thru the garage, so you can come and go as you please.

There is alot of forests, lakes and marshland around here so for those that like to sit and take shots on birds, mooses and possibly wolf and bear (if lucky and good at that kind of thing), its a great place to have as a basecamp.

Other then that there are a few nice things to see around here such as waterfalls, operas, classic cars, medieval festivals, folkmusic festivals etc.

But I guess most people come here for nature and fishing. If you have any plans to go around here let me know and I can find out what happens around here at the time your around.

Staying is free, but me and the wife would love if you left a printed photograph by/of you to put on the walls, they are empty as of now.

This reminds me of the film "Mitt liv som hund" (My Life As A Dog) has anybody seen it? A young lad in Sweden lives with his uncle and together they build a shed in the garden next door. Beautiful film.

Thank you VERY much for the invitation. Smile
