Like Lucky Luke, are the trees of the American West waiting for the sun to set before singing «I'm a poor lonesome tree»? Or even «I'm already a dead tree»? A mystery. Images taken in Zion National Park and Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.

The chasm dug in Neuchâtel by the Seyon, whose current was harnessed as early as the 16th century to provide power for a mill, has been converted into a «Centre d'interprétation des techniques des roues à eau». The Gor du Vauseyon is also an attractive dream machine.
