French war-ship Saint-Philippe 1693 - scale 1/72 - from Lemineur monograph [COMPLETED BUILD]
Working on the futtock-shrouds of the fore topgallant tops (at scale 1/72, it's not the easiest step of rigging) :

Before my announced holidays, I took advantage of a very short clearing for quickly making of these photos :
On this view, the Alps have come as far as Strasbourg (there are here just coming clouds... of water mountains) :
In fact, less than ten minutes later, by Toutatis, here is the pretty sky which is about to fall down on our heads :
It's been like this every day for two months, there's good reason to close shop, and move elsewhere quickly

After following your links to www.free-scores.com, I took some time to listen to some of your music: impressioné!
I frequently visit free-scores.com, searching for organ works I can play.

I listened to your BWV29 for organ. A true masterpiece.
Shortly, I'll find myself studying one of your pieces for organ...
